The pathologist report is in: Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwrightdeath wasn’t caused by a fall from the scaffolding in the Coronation Street murder week climax, he was intentionally struck in the head.

Weatherfield’s premiere police posse, Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) received the news tonight, with Kit indignant at the prospect of Lisa ever considering what happened to be an accident.

Over a glossy montage that saw Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson) drop flowers at the scene of Theo’s demise, George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) reading an online article about the death, Gary Windass (Mikey North) watching CCTV footage of himself taking a sledgehammer to Theo’s van and Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) reading a page of her journal emblazoned with the words ‘Theo is a monster’, Lisa and Kit pondered over whether Todd’s loved ones could’ve done the deed.

As the montage segued into Todd, sobbing in his former flat while reliving Theo’s most vicious and disgusting acts, Kit surmised that if he’d been as dehumanised as Todd by a sadist, he would’ve done the exact same thing, pondering if Todd had finally hit back.

…and now we’ve concluded the ‘whoisit?!’ portion of the mystery, we’re diving straight into the ‘whodunnit?!’ of it all; with the montage that closed out today’s episode and a brand new graphic, Corrie have given us an official suspect line up.

As Weatherfield shudders at the thought of having a murderer in their midst, even more so the members of Todd’s inner circle, each have secrets that they’re prepared to fight to keep hidden, while an incredibly complicated web of lies will be exposed.

But who did it? Who killed Theo?

Danielle went through hell at the hands of Theo, when he struck up an affair with Todd and later left her to set up home with him.

With whispers reverberating around the street that hell hath no fury like that of an ex-wife scorned, could she have finished Theo off? And for what reason?

George possesses a true fathers love for Todd, and it was evident in everything he did and said that he’d go to the ends of the Earth for him, and there was the curious case of the changed jumper…

Did George finally snap and kill Theo to keep Todd safe?

Gary’s protective streak and hatred of bullies previously worked in Theo’s favour, when he battered sick conversion therapist Noah Hedley (Richard Winsor) in his new friends defence.

When that protective streak turned against him, though, Theo was evidently intimidated by Gary’s fury. Could his former bestie have decided to even the score by taking out another bully?

Summer Spellman

Summer’s journal, filled with furious scrawlings about Theo, certainly painted her in a certain light. Are they the ramblings of a girl, heartbroken at having to live with the knowledge that Theo killed one of her adoptive dads and viciously tortured the other?

…or are they the signs of a guity consience?

Could Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) be involved? Perhaps she knew that George was about to take action, and the love of her boyfriend prompted her to help?

Or could she have been pushed her to step in and deal with the biggest problem in his life?

Todd Grimshaw

With Todd in fear for his life as Theo chased him like a cat playing with it’s food in the aftermath of his escape, could he have decided there was only one way to end the torture?

Could he have taken final, and fatal, action to free himself from his tormentor forever?
