==Biography==
===1998-2023: Early Life ===
Abe is the son of Marie Fielding and Mick Cornus. Mick became abusive towards Marie. Marie's son Joel Dexter attacked Mick in defence of Marie, but Mick reported him to the police and Marie didn't back him up. After a stint in a young offenders' institute, Joel reunited with Marie in September 2012. Mick was murdered in the same month: suffocated by Simon Walker to frame Joel's 'father figure' Brendan Brady. Joel lost contact with the Fielding's not long after.
By 2023, Abe lived in London where he met Cleo McQueen, who had completed a year-long stint as a medical researcher in India. Marie was serving a prison sentence. Cleo decided to return to Hollyoaks in January 2024 and left Abe after he fought with two guys over her.
===2024: Arrival===
Abe arrived in Hollyoaks merely days after Cleo's return, in search of her. He soon put down roots in the village, working as a personal trainer to Cleo's bemusement. After learning that the incident with the two men was a misunderstanding, Cleo began confusing Abe with her feelings until he discovered her with her ex-boyfriend - Joel - talking about their future on the City Wall. Abe informed Joel's fiancée Leela Lomax and revealed that he was Joel's younger brother, causing Joel to turn on him. As Joel fought for Leela, Cleo decided to choose Abe over Joel. However, Abe told Cleo that he felt like he was a rebound and left.
Cleo's cousin Theresa McQueen confronted Abe over his behaviour towards Cleo, but the pair drunkenly slept together after Abe revealed that his girlfriend before Cleo was unfaithful. Cleo found out and rejected Abe, until he opened up to her about his relationship with Mick. Abe then enjoyed using Theresa to make Cleo feel jealous and speaking lowly of himself to manipulate her emotions. At Joel & Leela, and Mercedes McQueen's joint gender reveal party, Marie made a surprise return following her release from prison. Marie revealed that her youngest son, Arlo, went missing in 2023, unaware that Abe had hidden him from her with Arlo's father and step-mother.
=== 2024-2025: The Abuse of Cleo And Relationship with Peri Lomax ===
Abe begins to control and isolate Cleo from her friends and family and eventually going as far as to even use her bulimia as a result to manipulate her to the point Cleo relapses despite Hannah Ashworth seeing how Abe is treating Cleo, Abe manages to threaten Hannah to stay away after discovering she is a prostitute working for Rex Gallagher. Abe even suggests that he and Cleo should have an open relationship and sleeps with Theresa and pays a male escort to sleep with Cleo. 
But when Cleo tells Abe of her not wanting an open relationship, Abe begins to beat Cleo and the abuse gets so much for her throughout 2024 that Abe is unaware that she wants to leave him, despite Abe confronting Cleo over deleting the sex tape he had on his phone of Cleo sleeping with the male prostitute as he was blackmailing Cleo that he would post it online if she left him, Abe is furious when Cleo manages to escape the village on a bus. 
Abe manages to track down Cleo and he berates her forcing her to stay with him but the pair bump into Dave Williams who realises that Cleo is on her way to meeting Mercedes and Warren Fox, Abe is punched to the floor by Dave as Cleo gets on the back of his motorbike and a car chase ensues when Abe follows, Dave then leaves Cleo as he approaches the woods to confront Warren during which Abe catches up with Cleo who steals Dave's motorbike and another car chase ensues this time the chase ends up in the middle of the village crashing into The McQueen home. The resulting crash would go on to kill Suzanne Ashworth and badly injure Marie. Abe's abuse is then exposed to Joel and Leela by Cleo.

The villagers though often display a cold attitude with Abe as now it's become common knowledge that he abused Cleo. Abe also has Cleo write to The McQueen's stating she's in Bali so they don't get too suspicious on her whereabouts. 
Abe eventually proposes to Peri despite Leela being totally against the proposal. It's later revealed that Abe actually raped Leela during the lost year however with Leela totally unaware it was Abe who actually helped Leela deliver her baby who potentially could be Abe's.
