Coronation Street: All the flaws in Stefan Brent fire reveal as Jack confesses to arson

The reveal didn't ring true for some

Last night’s episode of Coronation Street saw young Jack Webster confess to arson. Setting fire to Stefan Brent’s car, the blaze then spread to Stefan’s office – with him inside.

This came as revenge for deepfake pornography Stefan created and circulated of Jack’s mum, Abi. Kevin and Abi initially suspected each other of starting the blaze. However, they were stopped in their tracks when Jack confessed all.

“How did Jack know where Stefan Brent lives when Jack didn’t even know who Brent was when he let Brent into the house a few days ago!” one viewer asked.
