After months of teasing, Coronation Street has revealed the dead body in the murder mystery story, as last night’s episode revealed that Theo Silverton met his maker and was dumped in the alleyway.

Now the question is: whodunnit? Fans think that a brief moment in last night’s episode might have revealed the killer before the victim’s identity was even revealed.

In the episode, Christina Boyd went to pick up Todd Grimshaw after he escaped from evil Theo once again, making her partner George Shuttleworth promise to stay at home and wait for them to return.

When the two got back, George was indeed there, but something was different.

“Did you change your jumper?” Christina asked him as they shared a hug, and he said he had, as “it’s been a long day, hasn’t it?”

Earlier in that same scene, George said that Theo “wouldn’t get anywhere near [Todd], I guarantee ya,” which elicited a quick, yet noticeable, look of shock and concern from Christina.

On social media, there are plenty of comments saying things like “George killed Theo. That’s why he changed his jumper” or “So that’s why you changed your jumper, George!! Good lad!!” Coronation Street kills off villain Theo Silverton in grisly scenes as murderer strikes

Other fans think that Summer Spellman could be involved and that perhaps George only broke his promise to stay home after she called him asking for help, or maybe he saw Theo intimidating Summer and attacked him to defend her,

Some even theorised that Summer could have been the one to kill Theo, and George either witnessed it or helped her after the fact, and changed his jumper due to getting blood on his previous one.

However, other people have pointed out that George being guilty is probably “too obvious”. Given how many red herrings Corrie has been playing lately, could these fans be right?

Coronation Street delivered a jaw-dropping twist tonight as abuser Theo Silverton finally met his end, plunging to his death in dramatic scenes that wrapped up murder week on Friday, May 1.

In a moment that had viewers talking, Todd Grimshaw’s violent husband was discovered lifeless at the foot of some scaffolding by a shocked Betsy Swain. And make no mistake, this was no simple fall. This was murder.

Monday night’s Coronation Street (April 27) saw Todd caught up in a terrifying showdown with Theo.

After telling George he would be late to the Rovers, Todd was left stunned when Theo appeared uninvited in the flat. What started as Theo insisting on cooking a ‘last meal’ quickly took a sinister turn, spiralling into violence. In a chilling moment, Theo even urged Todd to stab him as Todd fought back with a knife in self defence.

George arrived just in time, helping Todd trap Theo in the bedroom before the pair escaped and called the police. But by the time Kit and his team showed up, Theo had already made his move, climbing down scaffolding and slipping away to hide nearby.

George then bundled Todd into a taxi and sent him off to the airport for his own safety. However, things quickly went wrong when Todd realised he had left his phone behind and returned home before his planned trip to Thailand.

In a tense twist, Todd found himself face to face with Theo once more, who was now holding his phone.

Friday’s episode picked up the fallout from that confrontation, with tensions hitting boiling point as Theo chased Todd, desperately trying to get him to talk.

Elsewhere, the drama didn’t let up. Maggie had Megan hanging over the edge, intent on killing her before Will intervened. In a bombshell revelation, Maggie then exposed that Megan had aborted his baby, prompting Megan to walk away.

It was also revealed that it was Lily who had confronted Jodie, not someone from her past. Jodie later returned to the Platts’ house, smashing it up before striking Sarah over the head and leaving her unconscious before she could check her trinket box. Shona later found Sarah and rushed her to hospital.

Back on Theo’s trail, he returned to his flat where Summer unknowingly let herself in. He confronted her, leaving her visibly terrified.

Meanwhile, Ronnie was seen with an unconscious Carl in the back of his car, clearly panicking about what to do next as Debbie left him an emotional voicemail about her son. Later, Ronnie was shown cleaning out his car with disinfectant, with no sign of Carl, though he was eventually confirmed to be in hospital.

At the police station, Kit revealed to Leanne, Eva and Toyah that new information had come to light regarding Megan’s files.

Todd managed to escape and called Christina, who came to collect him. When they returned to George’s, he had changed his jumper, raising eyebrows about what he might be hiding.

Elsewhere, Maggie was seen lying unconscious on the ground.

Then came the moment that changed everything. A drunken Betsy stumbled down the ginnel and let out a scream after discovering Theo’s body lying dead beneath the scaffolding.

Fans divided as flashforward murder victim is finally revealed

As expected, viewers had plenty to say once the identity of the flashforward victim was confirmed, and opinions were split.

“THEO!! Well that’s a result, at least,” one fan wrote on social media. “Thank goodness that [bleep] Theo is gone,” said another.

But not everyone was impressed with how it played out.

“What a [bleep] cop out. Stop killing abusers,” one viewer complained.

Another posted: “So Theo is dead just like that? He deserved to live the hell he put Todd thru in prison. Where’s Todd’s justice?”

“I can’t believe they’ve killed Theo. So that’s no justice for Todd,” echoed a third.

A fourth added: “What an utter travesty to the storyline. Of all the potential victims he was the one who they should have shown being banged up.”
