SHOCKING NEWS!!! Detailed day-by-day spoilers for Coronation Street’s five murder episodes

Time is finally up for one of Coronation Street’s most heinous residents next week.

Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon), Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown), Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) and Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) are all in danger of losing their lives as their individual stories reach a climax, one from which not all will escape with their lives.

With an entire week of episodes set on the day of Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain’s (Vicky Myers) wedding, Monday to Thursday will focus on each baddie in turn as we hurtle toward a blood-soaked crescendo.

Theo has Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) exactly where he wants him on Monday, while Tuesday sees Carl take time to rile his enemies, Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) and Abi and Kevin Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine and Michael Le Vell). Wednesday sees Jodie’s final stab at vengeance explode in her face, and Megan and Maggie face off on Thursday.

Come Friday, after a week of violence, vengeance and horror, Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) will discover the lifeless body of one of the baddies – and nothing will be the same ever again.

Monday, April 27

Todd is struck with terror when Theo appears in the flat with his packed suitcase firmly in his grip. When George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) arrives, he jumps to Todd’s defence, and between the two of them, they manage to overpower Theo and escape.

They report Theo to Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), but when he heads to check things out, Theo has vanished, leaving Todd more terrified than ever and desperate to flee Weatherfield.

Heading off in a cab, Todd’s forced to get out when he realises he’s left his phone. As he heads back to find it, he comes face to face with a furious Theo, clutching the missing phone.

Tuesday, April 28

While Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) reveals to Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) and Kevin that she gave Carl cash to leave them alone once and for all, Carl sets about settling some scores before departing.

Throughout the day, he manages to clash with Abi, Tyrone, Theo and Kevin, leaviung them all seething.

After receiving a vicious text from his brother, Carl discretely and maliciously messes with the breaks in Kevin’s car.

Wednesday, April 29

Before she can make good on her escape from Weatherfield, Jodie is pulled outside when she hears Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) shrieking in terror and finds her in the grips of two henchmen. After Jodie’s forced to hand over the hard drive, she pleads with her desolate sister to stay, but when Jodie learns that Shona lied about receiving her letter years ago, she seethes.

Set on finally destroying Shona’s marriage, Jodie makes her move, but finds herself expelled and out on the street. Taking to the swings, Jodie’s left to stew in her own misery.

She’s not alone, though, as someone is watching her. When they finally decide to make their move and approach her, she’s horrified.

Thursday, April 30

Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley), flanked by Leanne and Toyah Battersby (Jane Danson and Georgia Taylor), force Megan into the salon flat, determined to force a confession from her, but her sardonic attitude and nasty jabs result in a violent fracas, leaving her with a bloodied nose.

Thrown out into the ginnel, Megan’s eyes light up when she realises she’s in earshot of Maggie and Melanie Driscoll (Cindy Humphrey) and she pulls out her phone, recording their incredibly private conversation.

When Maggie learns that Megan is possession of information surrounding her husbands death, she confronts her at the flats and when Megan reveals a huge secret, the tension between them looks set to turn physical.

Friday, May 1

The stories of the week reach their crescendo, as Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) is roped into the fatal game of cat and mouse being played out by Todd and Theo, Megan’s game looks set to end when another secret explodes, while Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) finds herself on the receiving end of a terrifying home invasion and Ronnie finally decides enough is enough.

As blood pools in the street, the wider Weatherfield community may never be the same again and with several lives dangling precariously in the balance, Betsy finally discovers a corpse.
