English actress, best known for playing Abi Franklin in Coronation Street and Kelly on Shameless (UK). On her spotlight page she had measurements: "Height: 5'4" (162cm), Weight: 8st. 1lb. (51kg)"

I feel so, so sad for Abi. Her little Alfie is so beautiful and angelic, and I’m not one of those women who says that about any baby. Inevitably, it’s nurture, not nature, that has the final say, of course. Let’s hope this little bundle doesn’t pick up on the fight for his custody.
I desperately want her to win him back. Hasn’t she lost enough? 🤔💐🥲
5ft4.

What a terrible time Sally’s Abi has had of late in Coronation Street. First she loses her beloved son, then Kevin leaves her for resorting to drugs and drink. Now she’s had a premature child, panics, and walks out of the hospital, making the front page of the local paper.
Too much for one woman to take. Thank Heavens that this is a fictitious Soap.
5ft4.

That huge firework said it all tonight, what with the eventual nicking of evil killer, Corey Brent.
Though that much younger than Sally's Abi Franklin, Nina was wise beyond Abi's years, (!) advising her to KEEP AWAY FROM A LIT FIREWORK. It went off after a couple of minutes - and was well worth the wait! 🎊🎉
Five foot four. 😁👌💐
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 24/Oct/21
Yes, indeed they did fall down the sinkhole!
Sally's performance as bereaved mother Abi has been outstanding. I've decided I'll be voting for her in the next Soap Awards, with Mollie Gallagher coming a close second.
5ft4. She's taken on a young hooligan NINE INCHES taller than her (her son's killer) and has reduced him to a weeping, quivering wreck. At least he's shown what he's REALLY made of! 😝

Did Abi and stinksome Corey fall down the Platt's stinkhole?
Sally gets 5ft4. 😆👌
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 11/Sep/21
Unbelievable and outrageous that her son's killer (in 'Coronation Street', of course) walks out of Court having been found innocent of the murder of Seb Franklin. It makes me sick! Surely the writers of the soap opera are going to have to do something about this.
😝🖕
The backlash of Deirdre Rachid ending up in prison for fraud related crimes in the same programme over 20 years back was NOTHING in comparison to this.
5ft4.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 11/May/21
After much fiddling and faffing around, I've actually found a height for the teenager who plays Asha Alahan, Tanisha Gorey. Tanisha plays a 16-year-old but is, in fact, turning 19 next month, so is almost DEFINITELY fully grown. I'd personally have believed Tanisha looked young enough to be 16, possibly 17, as she has a young face.
I read that she measures in at 5ft4, so she should stand neck-and-neck with Sally Carman's Abi and 2" taller than Ruxandra's character, Alina, and Sally Dynevor's character, also called Sally. The difference between Tanisha and Mollie Gallagher's heights does indeed stand out, but you wouldn't have to twist my arm for too long before I'd cave in and admit the possibility of Tanisha measuring 5ft3.5 or so. Yup, the 5ft4 could indeed be her morning height.
In time, a page for Tanisha would be very welcome, especially as she's played the part of Asha since December 2009, so we've literally watched her grow up from a tiny 7-year-old, which I always feel is quite a privilege for Soap fans! 😄 The boy who plays her 'twin' brother, Aadi, has just been replaced, and looks far younger than nearly 19.

That Soap storyline had the worst outcome imaginable and it was really upsetting to watch tonight. 😭
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 5/May/21
What a terrible storyline in tonight's Coronation Street. Sally's Abi's young son, Seb, who is only about 5ft5, is badly beaten up by a group of thugs, as was his 5ft1 girlfriend. Both youngsters lie critically ill in hospital.
At times such as these, one can't help but thank God that it's only a Soap, but having watched the news tonight, there's been yet another fatal knife crime.
What is happening to this world of ours? 😢
Sally can have 5ft4 and a big hug.
🤗🌹
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 30/Nov/20
Sort that filthy restauranteur out, Abi, before he's notched even more young girls up on his bedpost AND ripped all the homeowners off! 😝
5ft4. 👱♀️💐🌹👍
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 25/Feb/20
....which he did! 😝
The depths of depravity that awful restauranteur/businessman will sink to show no limits whatsoever.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 24/Feb/20
I'd recommend that Abi goes straight home and tells Kevin exactly what happened - before he hears another version of events.
5ft4. 😉💐
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 28/Jan/20
Sally looked great in that sparkling black/gold minidress, and coupled with the black tights and high heels, she could easily be believed to be 5ft5 - shoeless.
I will go with 5ft4.5 this time round. 😁👍

Hooray! The 2 Sallys have hugged and made up! What a great way to compare their heights!
5ft4. 😁👍👱♀️👱♀️
Nik Ashton said on 4/Aug/19
She is so funny! 😂😂😂😂😂😂!
Nik said on 3/Aug/19
It's great to know that she is honest and that she is from Mexborough too!
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 2/Aug/19
Sally Carman and Sally Dynevor did a stretch together in prison, they're living in the same house now and Sally C has just had her hair cut into the same style as Sally D!
What's next? Each Sally gains or loses an inch a piece to make them the same height?
👱♀️🍵👱♀️🍵
5ft4.
Sandy Cowell said on 21/Jan/19
The way that Abi looked after Sally in prison was admirable! Now that Sally's been released, the two have just bumped into each other, and after a reunion hug, you could definitely notice the 2+" height difference.
Abi, or Sally Carman, gets 5ft4.
Sandy Cowell said on 19/Nov/18
Yes, Lee, I have noticed that Sally's Abi wears trainers and, as such, I have found it easier than ever to believe that she's 5ft4 instead of the 5ft3 I once thought she was.
That scene last week when she pinned Tracy (5ft6 Kate Ford) up against the wall showed a lot!
Littlelee168cm said on 24/Aug/18
Sally Carmen always wears trainers and Kate heels the listings are accurate
Nik said on 23/Aug/18
@ Sandy Cowell -That's very interesting! Assuming equal footwear Kate Ford must be 5'7" or Sally Carman must be 5'3"!
Sandy Cowell said on 22/Aug/18
@ Nik - I would have believed up to three inches. There seemed more than the two inches there are supposed to be - but I didn't get a proper look at Sally's footwear!
Littlelee168cm said on 22/Aug/18
Sally character is always in trainers and Kate always wears heels so there would be a difference. Kate is 5ft 6 as she has stated herself
Nik said on 21/Aug/18
@ Sandy Cowell - That's very interesting! How much difference did you notice?
Sandy Cowell said on 20/Aug/18
@ Nik - I have already compared the two and there's a noticeable difference!
(Sally Carman and Kate Ford).
Littlelee168cm said on 19/Aug/18
Looks 2 inches shorter than the actor who plays her son seb who is listed five foot five and 3 inches shorter than Alan halsall who plays tyrone my guess is five three
Sandy Cowell said on 17/Aug/18
Oh dear, silly me - I have omitted to mention that Sally was part of an amazing line-up of stars in the Paddy Considine film 'Tyranossaur'. The cast included Peter Mullan, Olivia Coleman and Eddie Marsen. Now is that impressive or what?
Nik said on 17/Aug/18
I would love to see 'er compared to Kate Ford, maybe tonight we will!
Nik said on 16/Aug/18
@ Sandy Cowell - Look who's here! It's nice to see that this interesting and funny actress has been given a page along with an accurate listing! I have got to admit I did once think that she was roughly an inch taller but having seen her recently compared to other members of the "Coronation Street" cast (autocorrect tried to change it to candy!) I think that she is close to 5'4"!
Cheers Sandy!
Sandy Cowell said on 15/Aug/18
Wow! Thanks Rob!
My boyfriend came in the other day while I was watching 'Coronation Street' and said, "I know 'er! She was in 'Shameless'!"
Then I realised that she was considerably more famous than just for 'Coronation Street', and come to think, she did seem familiar to me as well, AND I had seen some unforgettable episodes of 'Shameless' with my boyfriend and they're well worth investing in in the future. The programme boasts an excellent cast, for sure, and it's gritty and very witty!
I've noticed that Sally is a noticeable chunk shorter than the actress who plays Tracy Barlow, Kate Ford, and she must be around 5ft7. I did think Sally was 5ft3, or should I say, I saw it written down and believed it, but as she has 5ft4 on her Spotlight page and Rob agrees, then I will go for that! 😊👍
Editor Rob
From what I've seen, I don't think her resume height of 5ft 4 is wrong, seems close to that.
