Coronation Street viewers are convinced that a second character has been killed off in the wake of Theo Silverton’s murder.

Over the past five days, the ITV soap has broadcast a special murder week — with episodes revisiting the same day, but each instalment viewed from the perspective of a different potential victim.

The victims include Theo (James Cartwright), Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown), Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) and Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn).

In Friday’s episode (May 1), it was confirmed that Theo was the body discovered by Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) in the flash-forward episode that aired back in February.

Elsewhere in the episode, Carl was shown flatlining in hospital after being left fighting for his life when someone sinisterly released a car jack while he was beneath a vehicle in the garage. Meanwhile, Maggie confronted predator Megan and came close to killing her before grandson Will (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) arrived on the scene, reports the Daily Star.

Despite Theo now being confirmed as the murder victim, fans are adamant that a second resident has also met their end. On a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, one viewer said: “I think Carl’s died as well and his death will be revealed next week.”

Someone else added: “Yeah two die I reckon.” A third chimed in: “I think that too and then at least Debbie can say goodbye to him in hospital.” Another penned: “I think they’ve pulled a plot twist and Theo’s unconscious but it’s Carl who actually dies?”

Meanwhile, earlier this year, Corrie producer Kate Brooks discussed the flash-forward twist and murder week. She said: “This is something that’s been in the making for a really long time.

“There are five potential victims, and we will take the audience on a journey to try and figure out who that body is and what happened. It is a who have they done it to, not a whodunit.”

She explained the special episode would provide closure to current storylines as they’re woven into this flash-forward sequence.

She added: “I don’t think I’ve ever told a story that involves quite as many character groups. Everyone’s impacted – everyone’s affected by this story. There’s so many twists and so many turns.”
