Coronation Street enthusiasts are convinced they have uncovered who will meet their demise during the soap's highly anticipated murder week, dismissing earlier suspicions surrounding characters Carl Webster and Jodie Ramsey.
Fans dismiss red herrings
Viewers believe that the producers have planted misleading clues, as danger was teased for all five villains. As episodes featuring Theo Silverton and Carl Webster unfolded, potential scenarios for their deaths were shown. Similarly, minor scenes involving other antagonists, such as Jodie Ramsey and Megan Walsh, hinted at impending horror.
Now, fans think they have pinpointed the likely victim. The prevailing theory suggests Megan Walsh will be killed off this week, with many viewers asserting that all evidence points to her. A secondary theory posits Theo Silverton as the possible casualty.
Fan theories on social media
Taking to social media, one fan remarked: "If it is Theo who dies, it's definitely not Garry who kills him. He couldn't leave any more clues if he was trying to frame himself. Still presently on it being Megan."
Another fan queried: "Are Megan AND Theo brown bread?" while a third added: "I think it'll be Megan." A fourth fan posted: "I'm still saying it's Megan."
The theory continued to gain traction, with one fan stating: "I'm getting the feeling Megan is definitely the one who gets murdered." Another said: "I'm convinced Megan is the one who dies, I just can't work out who does it."
