Coronation Street aired a flashback on Wednesday night revealing that Gary Windass was present on the night Theo Silverton was killed. The scene showed Gary on scaffolding, holding a metal object, while Theo lay bleeding and lifeless below. Despite this, the soap has not confirmed Gary as the murderer, leaving viewers speculating that he may be a red herring.
Gary appeared surprised to see Theo, suggesting he may have stumbled upon the scene rather than committing the crime. With the killer reportedly set to be revealed in late June or early July, some fans believe the timing is too soon for Gary to be the culprit. Theories circulating online include Gary covering for someone else, such as his ex Sarah Platt or Theo's partner Todd.
One fan theory proposes that no one killed Theo, and he may have staged the murder scene before taking his own life. Others suggest Gary saw someone else commit the murder and is now hiding evidence. The flashback also confirmed that the murder weapon was a piece of scaffolding, which Gary may know the location of.
Coronation Street continues weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
