Coronation Street viewers believe they have uncovered a major plot twist following the revelation that Sarah Platt is Theo Silverton's killer. The ITV soap aired a flashback on Monday, June 22, showing Sarah (Tina O'Brien) striking Theo with a metal pole on scaffolding, then frantically calling her ex Gary Windass (Mikey North) to help cover up the crime. This came after a tense dinner party at Sarah's flat, where she hosts boyfriend DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce), Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), Gary, and his wife Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon). Maria accused Gary of having an affair with Sarah, leading to chaos with chairs scattered and blood on the table.
Fans Predict Further Twists
Eagle-eyed viewers spotted a moment before the drama that could hint at more revelations. Kit, who suspects Gary of Theo's murder, asked Gary to help with food preparation. When Gary requested a bottle opener, Kit replied: "It's a twist." Some fans believe this broke the fourth wall, hinting at further drama. A Reddit user posted: "It felt like [Kit] was breaking the fourth wall, talking to us, telling us to expect a twist in the reveal. So, I waited for the twist. Even when Sarah was on the roof with Theo, I was thinking... there's got to be a twist coming." Another added: "Maybe someone had already hit him over the head before Sarah? She did find him sitting slumped on the scaffolding." A third viewer suggested: "Maybe the twist will be that Sarah actually isn't the killer. Theo was actually alive and someone else came along later and finished him off."
Murder Inquiry Background
Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) was killed off in April, with his body discovered by Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin). Police launched a murder inquiry naming six suspects: Todd Grimshaw, George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley), Gary Windass, Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins), Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson), and Summer Spellman. However, none were responsible, as Sarah was revealed as the true killer. The flashback followed a tense dinner where Kit grilled Gary, but the twist may not be over. Coronation Street airs weekday nights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
