OMG SHOCKING!!! Theo finds another murder victim in Coronation Street

Coronation Street spoilers follow for an episode is due to air tonight on ITV at 8:30pm, but is currently available to watch online on ITVX

First he left Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) to die. Now Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) plans to put another Coronation Street resident six feet under in his chilling quest to trap Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) forever…

Theo isn’t winning any popularity contests in Weatherfield. Now that a severely injured Todd has reported him to the police for assault, everybody knows that the sinister scaffolder has been abusing his partner for months. The raging narcissist might be the least well liked resident of Coronation Street right now – and that’s really saying something. He’s even banned from the Rovers, and let’s face it, they’ll let anyone in.

There’s never been a worse time to be persona non grata on Corrie. With Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) and Carla Connor’s (Alison King) wedding right around the corner, five of the biggest villains in Weatherfield could meet a grisly fate in a shocking Whodunnit… and one of the potential victims is Theo. But who has a reason to kill him? Form an orderly queue.

Suspect number one is Todd. After months of Theo’s emotional gaslighting, routine humiliations and terrifying bouts of violence, it’s perfectly understandable that he would finally snap.

George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) is the closest thing Todd has to a father. Watching his friend and protege reduced to a shaking terrified wreck was too much to bear.

George was the one who witnessed the sickening way Theo spoke to Todd first hand, and tried to rescue him from his toxic relationship. That’s a first class motive. As for opportunity, who know more about death than the local undertaker?

Then of course, there’s Gary Windass (Mikey North), Theo’s ex-best mate and boss. After learning the truth about the abuse from his partner Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) – whose close friendship with Todd also makes her a suspect – Gary drove Theo to the police station himself and threatened to ‘come after him’.

That’s no idle threat coming from Gary, who’s already responsible for two deaths on the Cobbles. Will Theo make three?

Let’s not forget one of the few people possibly more hated than Theo, Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard). On Sunday, the Worst Webster tried to provoke the angriest scaffolder in Manchester into assaulting him, in a sneaky plan to put the abuser behind bars. Theo saw right through it. He warned Carl ‘I’ll come for you when it’s dark. You might not even see me coming. And when I hit you, I’ll make it count. And you won’t get up again’.  \

Coronation Street fans think they have worked out who the victim will be of an upcoming murder on the cobbles – and it will end up being bad news for a much-loved character.

Those who follow the ITV soap have already been informed that a shock death will take place on the cobbles in April, with Betsy Swain the one to discover the dead body of one of her neighbours on the day of her mum, Lisa Swain’s, wedding to Carla Connor.

The news was confirmed in a flashforward episode which aired in February and showed the shocked and anxious teen telling detectives about finding the dead body of someone she knows. Dressed in wedding clothes, she explained she had been at the Connor-S wain wedding, but was heading into town to continue the celebrations when she made the shocking discovery.

As the episode returned to the present day, Corrie viewers started to see how the behaviour of the five characters could lead to their possible death – with Megan Walsh, Theo Silverton, Maggie Driscoll, Jodie Ramsey and Carl Webster seen as the potential victims, each showing behaviours that could lead to them being bumped off.

Later, as the same episode came to a close, it again flashes forward again to April 23rd and the five characters were seen on the cobbles as Lisa and Carla’s wedding fireworks light up the night sky. As the lights flickered, a battered and bruised Carl, frantic Jodie, a menacing Maggie, a bloody-nosed Megan and a furtive Theo were seen staring into the darkness.

While Corrie fans still have time to wait until the big reveal, with the episode set to air on April 23, they have been sharing their predictions over who the victim could be and following Monday’s (March 9) episode of the long-running show, some think Theo’s comeuppance could be on the cards.

As those who follow the ITV soap know, the relationship between the builder and his boyfriend, undertaker Todd Grimshaw, has been nothing short of volatile, with Todd suffering under Theo’s abuse, both physical and emotional, and control.

During the latest Corrie episode, it was Theo’s birthday, and after Todd’s clear worry about making his boyfriend’s day special, Theo ended up spoiling it for himself by provoking an argument with Todd. It started as Theo seemed disappointed by the presents he received from Todd, who hasn’t had any access to his own money for months, and Summer Spellman.

And Theo’s simmering anger only grew when Todd was late for his birthday meal at the Bistro, and so to make matters worse for his partner, the birthday boy started ordering the most expensive items on the menu as well as invited Gary Windass and Maria Connor to join them for dinner.

But when Todd was unable to foot the bill, Theo humiliated him by stepping in to cover it before they headed back to the flat where a confrontation ensued. When Todd suggested they should have coffee instead of more wine, Theo started throwing things in Todd’s direction.

Then, when Todd tried to get him to stop, Theo grabbed a knife looking set to attack his partner. Finally having enough, Todd responded: “You going stab me? Are you? Well go on, do it. You think I care anymore? You think I wanna carry on? Do it. Put me out of my misery, do it!”

While Theo put the knife away and walked out of the flat, some think an upcoming twist could see Todd responsible for Theo’s death. @sarahlawson84 said: “Yeah….another scrap like this and Todd kills Theo. Calling it now #Corrie.” @Jane69946890611 replied: “I agree, one day he’s gonna snap.” @Audz32129841 commented: “What if Todd kills Theo in self defence and Theo’s the body #Corrie.”

@DrSwarla2025 shared: “Todd is going to lose it with Theo sooner rather than later. #corrie.” @AlisonSelw60139 reponded: “I’ve watched it now. I’ll can see Todd flipping his lid on him. Pushing him off a very tall bridge will do the trick,” to which the first poster added: “Agree maybe the murder is Todd killing Theo that could be an interesting storyline going forward..”
