Coronation Street fans think they have sussed that a major twist is on the cards for Sarah Platt following her arrest for the murder of Theo Silverton.
It's what she has been trying to avoid for months, but during Monday's (July 20) edition of the ITV soap, Sarah found herself being placed into cuffs before being questioned at the police station by DS Lisa Connor-Swain over the abuser's demise.
As Corrie fans will recall, Theo's lifeless body was found by Lisa's horrified daughter, Betsy Swain, on the night of her mum's wedding to Carla Connor back in April.
The murder investigation
The builder was revealed as the murder victim months after viewers first learned that Theo was among the five villains at risk of being killed off during an episode of Corrie in February, which featured flashforward scenes showing Betsy being interviewed by the police about finding the dead body of someone she knew.
Eventually, a week after the wedding aired, it was revealed that Theo was the victim, which came after he tried to torment Todd one last time. His death has since triggered a murder investigation, with Corrie confirming Todd as a suspect, along with George Shuttleworth, Summer Spellman, Christina Boyd, Gary Windass and Danielle Silverton.
But as Corrie fans now know, it wasn't any of the six, as it was Sarah who appeared to deal the blow that sent a drunk Theo tumbling off the scaffolding outside his flat and plummeting to the ground - before she called on her former flame, Gary Windass, for help.
Sarah's arrest
Corrie fans later watched as Sarah confessed the truth to Todd, while Kit remained determined to pin Theo's murder on Gary, not realising that he had been covering for Sarah. That was until she confessed to her copper beau last week, just as he was trying to pop the question.
But Sarah's lies are catching up with her as she's now been arrested on suspicion of killing Theo. Down at Weatherfield police station, Lisa interrogated Sarah before providing evidence that they had found splatters of Theo's blood on her clothing from the night of the crime, after her clothes were taken in as evidence from her own attack by Jodie Ramsey, which came after Theo's murder took place.
Spoilers for upcoming Corrie episodes have already confirmed that Sarah will be seen in prison, making it so far unlikely that she'll get away with murder. However, some fans still don't think she was responsible for the crime in the first place.
Fan theories
@luciferseve said: "This Sarah arrest was too easy for me. I feel like a twist is still coming #Corrie." @Emmmmmer replied: "I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Gary that actually killed him and he's made Sarah think she did." @sam_Fletcher78 commented: "Wow, that was a lot of police for just Sarah Lou. Still wondering if someone else finished Theo off after he fell. Something doesn’t quite add up #corrie."
@gomezespresso posted: "I hope there's a twist to this and Sarah wasn't the last person to see Theo or they get her off on self defence #corrie." @Audz32129841 shared: "I get the feeling Sarah thinks she killed Theo but it turns out someone else finished him off #corrie." @skycandlestix suggested: "I think Gary's done it, he still loves Sarah." @sweetbecki1977 added: "We saw Theo's leg move when Gary bent down."
