A new mystery storyline has started on Coronation Street, and viewers are already trying to figure out who ends up dead. The knife scene made things look simple at first. But fans now think the show is tricking the audience on purpose. Instead of the obvious target, many believe the victim will be someone no one is focusing on.
The Obvious Suspects Are Too Obvious
Right now, the story points straight at Theo. The camera clearly showed Todd holding the knife, almost telling viewers what to think. It felt like the show wanted everyone to assume Todd attacks him. But that’s exactly why fans doubt it.
Many think the writers want us to believe Todd kills Theo so the real twist hits harder later. Some viewers say it could be one of those plots where it looks obvious so we dismiss it or it looks obvious and still happens but they really hope it doesn’t.
Turning Todd into a killer would undo his growth and ignore everything he’s been through. Carl also seems like a possible victim, yet the timing feels off. The reveal that he is Debbie’s son just started opening a bigger storyline. Killing him now would end that drama before it properly begins, so fans don’t think the show would waste that.
Why Jodie Doesn’t Fit the Coronation Street Killer Plot Theory
Jodie’s name came up in theories too, but most viewers quickly ruled her out. She’s a new character and already manipulating people, which usually means long-term plans for her story.
Fans believe the show wouldn’t bring someone in from Corriedale with a full storyline just to kill her straight away. She’s clearly there to create problems and tension, not to be removed early.
Because of that, many viewers think she’s safe, at least for now. After removing the obvious names, attention turns to Megan and Maggie. They aren’t the centre of suspicion, which actually makes them more likely in soap logic. Some fans say they’ve thought about it far too much but keep coming back to those two. Megan still has consequences coming, so people feel her story shouldn’t end quickly.
Maggie, however, fits the shock factor; important enough to matter but unexpected enough to surprise everyone. The current theory is simple: the knife scene is a distraction. The real tragedy will hit somewhere quieter. If viewers are right, the victim won’t be the person everyone fears; it will be the person nobody was watching.
