Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) has been confirmed as the murder victim in Coronation Street.

After a week of dramatic episodes, Friday’s instalment saw us learn that Theo, who abused Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) for months, has now lost his life.

As the aftermath kicks off next week, detectives Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) begin their rounds of questioning.

Of course, a number of people are in the frame for Theo’s death. There’s Todd himself, George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley), and also Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby).

Don’t forget about Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), who went up against Theo after telling Summer that he could prove he murdered Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank).

With gossip spreading in Weatherfield, you’re probably reading this wondering when exactly we will find out who killed Theo, and how long the investigation is going to go on for.

Fortunately, producer of the show Kate Brooks has the answer.

‘It’s later in the summer. We reveal to the audience who it is during late June, July. There’s lots of people you definitely think it could be. It’s a massive story, there’s so many different twists, and there’s so many different offshoots to the story as well’, she revealed.

‘You think you’re watching one thing, and then it diverts into a completely new kind of story territory. It’ll definitely keep people guessing.’

Detailing what lies ahead for Todd, who is now recovering from the abuse in the middle of this whodunnit story, Kate said: ‘It’s Todd rebuilding his life – this is a guy who’s been subjected to the most horrific abuse, who is traumatised, who was grieving.

‘And it’s how he kind of tried to rebuild his life while still kind of struggling to comprehend the fact that this man’s been murdered by potentially somebody he knows or maybe even him.

She added: ‘It’s an interesting mix of ‘whodunnit’ thriller story, but also about Todd’s family and friends, George, Christina, Summer, Sarah, all rallying around Todd to make sure that he’s okay, to try and build them and repeat them back together.

‘What he’s been through at the hands of Theo has been such an ordeal for him, and to get that love and to get that trust in people again, it was very important to show that with Todd.’
