Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ll be fully aware that Coronation Street is gearing up to thin its incredibly bloated roster of baddies.

Paedophile Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) has finally been exposed for the predatory beast that she is, with her grooming and abuse of Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) now public knowledge.

Twisted sister-from-hell Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown) has been tormenting Shona (Julia Goulding) while eerily terrorising various street residents and keeping mementos in a creepy trinket box.

Supremely devious Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) has alienated everybody, with even his mum, Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney), waking up to how cruel and ruthless he truly is.

Monstrous Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwright) campaign of abuse against boyfriend Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) has been rumbled by his loved ones, with his final, most vicious beating yet exposing his hideous true nature.

Meanwhile, historic murderer, Maggie Driscoll’s (Pauline McLynn) secrets have been tumbling out recently, leaving her family, broken by Megan, even more bereft.

A flashforward scene aired in February saw Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) discover a dead body on the night so many have been waiting for: Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain’s (Vicky Myers) wedding day.

The episode also revealed all five potential victims, the cream of the creepy crop, as Corrie bosses confirmed that the ‘whoisit’ will transition into a ‘whodunnit’.

‘This will be an intriguing story and it’s our big thriller-esque story as we head into spring and early summer. It’ll involve an awful lot of the community,’ producer Kate Brooks previously teased.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever told a story that involved quite as many characters. It’s everyone. Everyone’s impacted, everyone is affected by this story and there are so many twists and turns. It’s been a real challenge in some ways because it’s very complex and intricate, but it’s so exciting.

‘Just when we think the story is going in one direction it does a U-turn and goes in a completely different direction. It’s something that keeps people on the edge of their seats, I think, and keeps people guessing until the very end.

‘Don’t be fooled by what you think is happening because that might not be the case…’

Members of the Corrie cast have been spotted filming at a court, perhaps attending a murder trial?

It’s who’s been filming that’s interesting though, and has potentially given away who’ll lose their life in the upcoming slaying.

What do Will, Ben and Ollie Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale, Aaron McCusker and Raphael Akuwudike), Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) and Leanne and Toyah Battersby (Jane Danson and Georgia Taylor) have in common?

Megan and Maggie.

While it seems unlikely that Will would turn murderous toward Megan, given his dedication the woman he considers to be his loving girlfriend, it can’t be ruled out as his abuse storyline has recently reached a crescendo.

Could the realisation that he’s been groomed be what pushes him over the edge?

Or could his grandma be his victim? She’s made no secret of the fact that she despises Megan, and there’s been vitriolic confrontations between the two.

Could Maggie’s murderous impulses re-emerge, forcing Will to defend the person he loves, with tragic results?

Does the presence of mum, Melanie (Cindy Humphrey) lend weight to this theory?

Ollie has had his family utterly torn apart by Megan’s abuse of Will, and has been heartbroken by the fact that his little brother has been abused right under the Driscoll’s noses.

He’s also suffered at the hands of his grandma’s manipulation and deceit, with her only exposing the truth about Ben’s true parentage after allowing him to grow close to his secret cousin, Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney). Enough motive to kill one of them? Maybe.

Leanne is also thirsty for vengeance over the abuse of her step-nephew, but she’s also painfully aware of the torture Megan inflicted on her step-son, Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan). Leanne is known to be fiery and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, could she be about to?

Or, if the victim is Maggie, could she be there to support her sister, Eva?

Eva’s feud with Maggie has been longstanding and, despite her attempts to reunite the fractured family, there’s never been any love lost between the two. If Maggie’s secret were to be exposed, could she be driven to murder to protect the love of her life?

Alternatively, could Eva’s target be Megan; could she kill her to stop someone else from doing so? Namely Will’s dad, Ben, who’s also featured in the pictures.

While it seems unlikely that Toyah would be moved to murder either of the women, as the third part of the sister triumvirate with Leanne and Eva, is she there to have their backs?

While arguments could be made for it to be either woman, the presence of Daniel certainly points toward the case revolving around Megan.

Afterall, Daniel was used by Megan as a cover for her predatory behaviour, and allowed him to believe her baby was his.

Despite initially believing her when she swore blind that she wasn’t guilty of the heinous crimes she’d been accused of, Daniel eventually saw the light.

Unknown to him though, he does have a link to Maggie, too, who framed a homeless man after Will beat Daniel half to death at Christmas.
