Coronation Street fans are unconvinced that Sarah Platt killed Theo Silverton, despite the soap revealing her as his attacker in dramatic flashback scenes. Viewers have taken to social media to share their theories, suggesting that someone else may have delivered the final blow.
Flashback Reveals Sarah's Attack
During Monday's episode (June 22), viewers saw Sarah confront Theo on scaffolding outside his flat. After Theo taunted her about her late son with Todd, Sarah grabbed a metal pipe and struck him, causing him to fall to the ground. She then called Gary Windass for help, who cleaned up the scene and instructed her to establish an alibi. Sarah was later knocked unconscious by Jodie Ramsey, seemingly solidifying her involvement.
However, fans noticed a crucial detail: Theo's foot appeared to move after the fall, suggesting he might still have been alive. This has led to speculation that Gary or another character delivered the fatal injury.
Fan Theories Point to Other Killers
Many viewers believe that Theo's ex-wife Danielle or his son or daughter could be responsible. @swarlacn tweeted: "Call me mad but I don’t think Sarah actually killed Theo. What was the need for the camera to go down and show us Theo’s foot (which looks to me like it moves)? Gary’s message to Danielle, she shows and finished him off. Sarah not going down for this coz she didn't actually do it."
@Her_EvilQueen agreed: "I've just noticed and his foot definitely looks like it moves. Nah I'm back on my Miles train. Because if it's Sarah surely she would go down for it." @RajinderBa6149 added: "I don’t think Sarah killed Theo despite she thinks so, but something tells me somebody else bumped him off cause his foot moved after Gary told her to go."
Gary's Role Under Scrutiny
Some fans suspect Gary may have finished Theo off. @TheConnorSwains posted: "I agree, I posted a bit ago that I reckon Gary and Sarah think they’ve killed him but someone else gave the final fatal blow!" @nastassjadisney wrote: "I guessed Sarah but Theo's foot moved so I think his ex wife finished the job!" @emmamac111 speculated: "Perhaps Theo wasn’t initially dead from Sarah hitting him & then falling from the scaffold, so does he wake up & then Gary does kill him with the pole or does Danielle / Theo’s son / daughter turn up & kill him themselves?"
What's Next for Sarah and Gary?
With Kit Green unknowingly close to the truth, the storyline is set to intensify. If Sarah is not the killer, the real culprit may soon be revealed, potentially leading to a dramatic exit for a character. As fans continue to dissect every clue, the mystery deepens, keeping viewers hooked on the long-running ITV soap.
