Coronation Street fans think they have decided who killed Theo Silverton, especially if they are one of the guests at the upcoming dramatic dinner party that is set to reveal the truth.
Theo Silverton's Death
As those who follow the ITV soap know, the builder was found dead in April, bringing an end to his 13-month reign of both physical and mental abuse over his partner, Todd Grimshaw. Theo's lifeless body was discovered by a horrified Betsy Swain on the night of her mum, Lisa Swain's, wedding to Carla Connor. This came after forward scenes aired in February, transporting viewers to April, where Betsy was being interviewed by police after discovering the dead body of someone she knew.
Potential Victims and Suspects
At the time, it was revealed that Theo, Carl Webster, Jodie Ramsey, Megan Walsh, and Maggie Driscoll were the five potential victims of the upcoming murder. The weeks that followed showed how their behaviours could have left them in mortal peril. It wasn't until a week after the wedding actually took place on April 23, and aired on-screen, that Betsy was seen discovering Theo dead. Lisa, aka DS Connor-Swain, and DC Kit Green have since been leading the investigation into finding his killer.
Corrie previously confirmed Todd Grimshaw, George Shuttleworth, Summer Spellman, Christina Boyd, Gary Windass, and Danielle Silverton as the six potential suspects.
The Dinner Party
But now, viewers have been invited to a dinner party with a difference on the cobbles next week when home truths are served, and the tea is most definitely spilt. By the end of the evening, viewers will learn who killed Theo, as a series of flashbacks revisit the fateful April night when his body was found.
Sharing more details as to what fans can expect, earlier in the day, Kit Green discovers that Sarah Platt has invited Todd and Summer round for dinner, and decides to add Maria and Gary Windass to the guest list. As Corrie fans know, Sarah and Gary have been hiding something for weeks, with Maria suspecting the former couple are having an affair. But the dinner party descends into chaos, with a broken glass, an overturned chair, and angry accusations thrown. Maria Connor seizes an opportunity to turn up the heat on hubby, Gary, when she accuses Sarah and Gary of having an affair.
Fan Theories
With it confirmed that Corrie viewers will find out what happened to Theo on the night of his death during the episode set to air on Monday (June 22), they have been left to wonder if that means the killer is one of those at the dinner party and if so, they may have decided who was responsible.
@campbellali12 said: "#Corrie with that special episode coming up soon. I think it's Todd. He's been so in denial about what Theo put him through that he doesn't remember much about that night. It's the only explanation of Sarah's behaviour. She must have witnessed something and Gary was."
@TheConnorSwains commented: "Ok, if it's definitely one of them round this table then my money is on Todd! Gary and Sarah think it was Sarah and Gary is covering for her. But Todd found Theo alive at the bottom of the scaffolding and finished him off! #Corrie #CoronationStreet."
