Next week's episode of Coronation Street will feature a flashback revealing a character's 'dark secret' about their whereabouts on the night Theo Silverton was murdered, ITV has confirmed.
The flashback will expose the lie a witness told police about their movements that night. While the killer's identity is not expected to be revealed until late June or early July, the episode will uncover the truth behind one character's false alibi.
Viewers will see the real events unfold, exposing a 'complex web' of guilt and fear as the character covers their tracks. The lie stems from fear of being implicated, though it remains unclear if they are directly involved in the murder.
Fans have speculated that Gary Windass and Sarah Platt are behaving suspiciously. Theories range from a secret affair to one of them killing Theo and the other covering it up. Social media posts suggest Gary may have witnessed the murder or that Sarah might be involved.
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
