Coronation Street fans think they have worked out Jodie Ramsey's true fate, as spoilers for the ITV soap tease she has been killed in an unexpected twist. Next week, the Platts are told that blood has been found in the boot of an abandoned car, and DNA testing has identified it as belonging to missing Jodie.
Jodie fled the street weeks ago after a deadly showdown with her sister Shona Platt. Jodie was shot, and she threatened to expose her shooter Shona before disappearing. Spoilers now tease that someone has killed Jodie, leaving Shona and her husband David Platt mortified. Jodie and Shona's father Doug returns next week, and he claims something bad has happened.
Fans doubt Jodie's death
But fans are mocking the plot, claiming they know Jodie's real fate. They believe her future on the show has already been let slip and that this rules out her shock death. Weeks ago, it was reported that actress Olivia Frances Brown, who plays Jodie, had signed another year-long contract with the show for the role. Fans now think Jodie has to be staying, which rules out a demise.
As some fans were confused about what it all meant, others joked that perhaps Jodie does die. They questioned, joking obviously, if Jodie may stay on the show as a ghost. Taking to social media, one fan said: "Is it her ghost we will be seeing as she's signed a contract for another year," followed by a laughing emoji. A second fan wrote: "She's not dead."
Social media reactions
A third agreed: "She's signed on for another year." A further post wondered if Jodie returns "as AI". A viewer then joked: "So will she play dead for the rest of her contract?" The comments kept on coming with one reading: "So she signed for another year as a ghost." It's safe to say no one is buying that Jodie will actually die.
Other storylines next week
Also next week on the soap, Bethany and Kit's fling is at risk of exposure. Bethany's mum Sarah, Kit's partner, presents her pregnant daughter with some designer baby clothes and she claims they're a gift from her and Kit. She's completely unaware that Kit and her daughter have slept together and now Bethany is pregnant. Sarah still thinks Ryan is the baby's father but an angry Ryan tries to get Bethany to confess the truth. Shona has figured out that Kit is the father though and warns Bethany to keep it a secret from Sarah.
When Bethany hears about Jodie, she tells Kit that she hopes they never see her again given she knows about their fling. David warns Shona they need to prepare for the worst as Jodie might be dead. Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
