Time’s up? Coronation Street drop biggest hint yet about identity of Theo’s killer as soap ends on cliffhanger
Coronation Street has dropped the biggest hint yet about the identity of Theo Silverton’s killer, as the soap ended on a cliffhanger.
Fans of the soap have been trying to work out who killed Theo, after the villainous character was killed off following the soap’s ‘Murder week.’
The six possible murderers were unveiled as Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce), George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley), Gary Windass (Mikey North), Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) and Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson).
And the finger seemed to be pointing at Gary Windass after Wednesday episode, as he was seen deleting footage from his laptop.
Viewers will know that on the night of Theo’s death, Gary sent him a menacing message after smashing up his van.
Fast-forward to the present day and Gary is sitting alone in the builder’s yard with his laptop in front of him, and he opens up a file which sees him about to smash the window of a van with a hammer – footage that could well incriminate him.

He swiftly deletes the footage, looking sheepish while doing so, and viewers watch as the footage gets completely wiped from his laptop before the episode draws to a close.
Coronation Street viewers have been tuning into the long-running soap to see the investigation unfold and will ultimately find out this summer just who killed the villain.
So far, George has been brought in for questioning with DS Lisa Connor-Swain, but he has insisted that he has no part in the murder.
Corrie viewers will have also seen Christina asked to go in to the station during the episode, to assist the police with their enquiries, putting a big question mark above her head.
It comes after disappointed soap fans took to Reddit recently, to discuss the whodunnit, and one wrote: “If Danielle did it, it’ll be the biggest cop out of an already drawn out murder mystery. Her episode count is 17 according to IMBD.
“I am getting who killed Frank Foster! This will shock you!! vibes from 2012.
“The suspects were Carla, Sally, Kevin, Michelle, Peter… and his Mum, who came in to it a week or so before. Guess who did it?”
Another fan wrote: “I was thinking the exact same thing when his ex-wife and son started appearing again.
“I wouldn’t have even thought her ep count was as high as 17.”
Another agreed writing: “Said the same.”
A fourth said: “I think Summer knows who did it, or she’s the one that thwacked him one before fleeing and then someone else turned up to finish him off“Given how quick she was to come lay flowers, I think it’ll end up being his ex wife (Danielle).”
A fifth wrote: “So going to be Danielle that did it, she randomly popped up to deliver flowers, I don’t think they’ll want to lose any of the other cast.”
While another said: “It won’t be any of them. It will be his son. Although, I think he told Danielle immediately and she is helping him cover it up.”
CORONATION STREET Street fans are convinced they’ve rumbled who the soap’s murderer is after a VERY telling sign – but did you spot it?
Fans have been on the edge of their seat ever since the ITV soap revealed that there is going to be a murder in Weatherfield.
This week viewers will finally find out who has been bumped off out of five potential victims who have been named as Theo Silverton, Carl Webster, Maggie Driscoll, Megan Walsh, and Jodie Ramsey.
The mysterious Coronation Street murder then sparks a whodunnit with the killer to be revealed later on in the year.
All this week, the potential victims are each getting an episode that focuses on them, and why they could be murdered, and who their killer might be.
Last night it was evil Theo’s turn, and fans think they have worked out who his potential murderer could be.

Fans have watched in horror as Theo has been domestically abusing Todd Grimshaw, who has been trying to escape his clutches.
Monday night’s episode saw Todd’s funeral home co-worker George Shuttleworth rescue him.
The pair managed to escape from Todd and Theo’s flat and called the police.
However, as George was sat in the Rovers Return he was then informed that the cops hadn’t managed to arrest Theo, and he was still at large.
George immediately got up, as he was scared for Todd’s safety.
Next, viewers saw George rushing up the road to Todd, who was getting into a taxi, as he was fleeing to Thailand to start a new life.
George was very out of breath and had a panicked look on his face, as though something really bad had just happened.
He also seemed visibly shaken as he approached his friend.
As he hugged Todd goodbye, fans noticed a HUGE clue that could mean that George had killed Theo – blood on his sleeve.
Sharing this moment on TikTok, an eagle-eyed viewer wrote: “Did anyone else notice blood on George’s sleeve in Coronation Street tonight… is this a clue?”
Fans then rushed to comment, with one saying: “I didn’t spot it, but now I think it’s a clue!”
Another added: “Yes, it might be a clue!”
