Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) is formally arrested and charged with the murder of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) in next week's Coronation Street episodes, airing July 20-24. Despite efforts from Gary Windass (Mikey North) and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), police have finally made an arrest, with life-changing consequences for everyone involved.
Monday July 20: Sarah Arrested
Kit desperately tries to glean information from DI McLaughlin (Michelle Tate), but she is cagey and suspicious of his motives. His determination that Gary is about to be arrested rattles Sarah, who worries about the wedding outfit she handed to forensics. When Fiz Dobbs (Jennie McAlpine) tells Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) that Kit is certain the police will arrest Gary imminently, she begins to panic. However, as the Platt family record a birthday video message for Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls), police arrive and arrest Sarah for Theo's murder. Kit takes a call from her and tries to comfort her.
Tuesday July 21: Brody and Dylan Clash
Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) and Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) come to blows, with Brody spitting that if he were Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin), he would press charges. Later, Ryan Connor's (Ryan Prescott) stern words force Dylan to face his part in what happened to Betsy. While Sarah swears her innocence to police, Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) makes it clear to Kit that he is under suspicion for trying to cover up her crime, confirming they will charge Sarah with murder and that he must stop protecting her or lose his career. Gary tries to calm Maria's anxieties that police will come for him next, while a parcel delivery reveals that Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) hasn't controlled her spending, forcing Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) to cover for her in front of George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley).
Wednesday July 22: Maria Confronts Gary
Dylan visits Betsy and accepts responsibility for what happened before making himself scarce when a police officer arrives to take a statement. Maria clocks Sally Metcalfe's (Sally Dynevor) screensaver in the salon, showing Gary on the street on the night of Theo's murder, despite his claims he was in the builder's yard all night. After Sally sends her the picture, Maria heads home and confronts Gary. Later, as they enjoy a family meal, Kit tears chunks from Gary over Sarah's predicament. Elsewhere, Todd confesses to Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) that he knows Sarah killed Theo but reaffirms he didn't when she was questioned, before confiding about Christina's continued spending. Kit tries to persuade Sarah to implicate Gary, and Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) masks her hurt when Ollie (Raphael Akuwudike) reveals he's been offered a job in Brighton.
Thursday July 23: Todd and Summer Plan Escape
Todd confirms to James Bailey (Jason Callender) that he plans to give away Theo's life insurance money, while Christina tells a skint George that she expects Todd to give him a portion. Later, Todd and Summer reveal they've booked flights to Thailand to visit Jason and Eileen Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas and Sue Cleaver). Maria warns Gary that following what's happened, she has retracted her statement providing him with a false alibi. Gary pleads for another chance, reaffirming he loves her and not Sarah. Also, Kit struggles to manage Harry Platt (Joshua Leavy) and is heartened when Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) steps in to help. Betsy is deeply embarrassed when Lauren has to help her use the toilet, and when Ollie misses the Brighton job, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) makes him the head chef of Speed Daal.
Friday July 24: Jodie Revealed as Attacker
After a roasting from Maria, Sarah determines to admit to Lisa what happened with Theo, but first reveals to Kit that Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown) was her attacker. Shona and David Platt (Julia Goulding and Jack P Shepherd) are rocked when they learn of Sarah's accusation against Jodie, and upon learning of her trinket box, they search the house. Lily (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner) waits until nightfall and heads downstairs to find her games console, but discovers the box instead. Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) returns home, and Leanne, Nick Tilsley (Ben Price), and Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) worry about the impact Sarah's arrest will have on him. When Leanne reveals she has a new boyfriend, Sam is initially shaken but agrees to meet Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) later. Despite Steve McDonald's (Simon Gregson) warnings, Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) continues to scheme to get rid of Ross Wilkes (Ian Burfield) with an app that allows people to write reviews about ex-boyfriends, hoping to show Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) his true colours. David and Maria butt heads when she skives work to spend the day with Gary, and Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) is narked to learn that Ollie is now working for the competition.
