As those who follow the ITV soap know, Theo was murdered following a long reign of terror in Weatherfield as he mentally and physically abused his husband, Todd Grimshaw, during their 13-month relationship.

But on Friday (May 1), the long-running storyline came to a shocking end as, after trying to target Todd one last time, which comes after he reported him to the police last month following his most violent attack to date, Theo was found dead by horrified neighbour, Betsy Swain.

The villain’s death occurred just weeks after Todd bravely left his partner and reported him to the police following a brutal attack, which left him in the hospital with multiple injuries.

It has left not only Todd, but his loved ones, George Shuttleworth, Christina Boyd, and Summer Spellman, among the possible murder suspects, alongside Gary Windass and Theo’s ex-wife, Danielle Silverton, who could also be guilty of Theo’s deadly demise.

While Todd has had to answer some questions from Lisa, it was George who was first to be taken in for questioning, where he let slip that although he was at home for most of the evening, when Christina headed out to rescue Todd, he did go on a walk alone, and didn’t see anyone.

It meant Lisa had enough to keep him in overnight, and during Wednesday’s (May 6) episode, he was seen being quizzed by DS Connor-Swain once again, this time becoming increasingly irate as he tried to refute her accusations.

During the interrogation, Lisa was seen presenting George with a picture of a brooch, which was found at Theo and Todd’s flat, covered in blood. While he denied ever seeing it, Lisa pushed, only making George more annoyed. Once finally released, he mentioned the brooch to Christina and Todd, saying it “seemed like a big deal”, and Todd appeared concerned.

Corrie fans have been quick to point out the brooch was being worn by Summer as she headed to the wedding reception of Lisa and her now-wife, Carla Connor. However, they don’t think that this means she’ll end up being responsible for Theo’s murder, and that it’s actually someone else in the frame.
