The mystery around upcoming murder of Coronation Street is only getting deeper, and fans are no longer convinced by the obvious answers. With the wedding getting closer and tensions rising across multiple storylines, viewers have started rethinking everything they thought they knew. The focus has now shifted, and one name is quietly moving to the top of the list.
Fans Move Away From Megan As Theories Shift
For a long time, Megan felt like the clear choice. Her storyline has been intense and controversial, making her an easy pick for a dramatic exit. But now, many viewers believe that makes her too obvious.
Some fans thought the show was building toward Maggie killing Megan, especially because Maggie has a past. However, others pointed out that the murder is set to happen around the wedding, which is still a month away. That timing suggests the story may have revealed too much too early for that theory to work.

At the same time, several viewers believe Megan and Theo are more likely heading toward trial storylines instead of death. The show has introduced people connected to their past actions, which suggests both characters could face legal consequences.
One fan said there is no point in building major awareness storylines if they end without justice. Another viewer also noted that Megan needs jail, not death, for the story to make sense.
Carl Emerges As The Strongest Contender
As attention moves away from Megan, Carl has started to stand out for all the wrong reasons. Many fans now believe he is the most likely victim because he has managed to upset almost everyone around him.
Viewers have pointed out that Carl has angered multiple people on the street, which makes him an easy target. There is also speculation about his future on the show, with some suggesting his contract may be ending soon, which could explain an exit.

Small details in the storyline have also caught attention. One fan recalled Carl saying something like live fast die young, which could hint at his own fate. Others have noticed that his storyline has gone quiet recently, which often signals that something big is about to happen. Some even think a major event like a fire or chaos at the wedding could bring everything to a head for him.
As the wedding gets closer, theories keep changing. The truth may end up surprising everyone. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
