Christina gets a killer shock on Coronation Street following gruesome murder | Soaps

We can forgive Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) for getting embroiled in one grisly  Coronation Street killing. But two? That’s just careless.

It stands to reason that someone who works at Shuttleworth’s funeral services will see their fair share of dead bodies. That comes with the territory when you’re dating Weatherfield’s friendliest undertaker George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley).

Don’t be food by her bubbly mumsy demeanour. Christina’s got enough skeletons in her closet to keep George in business for a year.

She was no angel to begin with, arriving in Weatherfield to attend the wedding of her daughter, Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan), to Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), with the intent to conn her daughter for every penny. However, like mother like daughter, Daisy turned the tables and ultimately departed alone with the swag.

Then of course, she was a suspect in the murder of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), and because the monster hadhorrifically abused her close friend Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce),she had a killer motive.

She’s not afraid to cover her tracks either, after being caught lying about her movements on the night of Theo’s death and pushing George to implicate Summer to cover up her own dirty secrets.

Namely, that she had a compulsive spending habit and was up to her eyballs in debt.

After catching Christina embracing her ex-husband Lenny down the precinct, George managed to get the truth out of her. Christine was addicted to shopping and had been fraudulently opening credit cards in other people’s names—including Lenny and her housemate, Mary Taylor (Patti Clare).

Despite promising to get help, Christina continued racking up debts behind George’s back until Todd exposed her. Heartbroken, George left to stay with his cousin in Somerset, leaving his relationship with Christina in serious doubt.

Now Christina is trying to rebuild George’s trust – as well as the community’s – the last thing she needs is another secret coming out of the woodwork. Especially related to a murder.

Brace yourselves.

In upcoming episodes of Coronation Street, Christina is aghast to realise that she’s got a connection to another killing on the Cobbles… one that happened quite recently.

Christina’s delighted when George promotes her to assistant funeral director and goes out for celebratory drinks.

But when Bernie misses her celebratory drinks, Christina’s left mulling over her friend’s family news. When George asserts that kids are nothing but a worry, Christina’s left thoughtful. What’s on her mind?

Next day, in the undertakers, Christina observes George as he talks Tim Metcalfe and Lucy Parkinson (Anya Lewis) through plaque options for her mum, determined to learn all she can about the job.

George shows Christina how to use the computer to view Rachel Parkinson’s file.

When George explains that the deceased is Lucy’s mother, Christina’s quietly horrified and hurries out.

Well, that ain’t good.

Lucy’s mother was killed during a heated argument with Tim’s cousin Richie (Nathan Sussex), who Tim had persuaded to return home to so they could settle their differences. This led to Rachel’s untimely death at Richie’s hands, seemingly in self defence.

Now the traumatised teenage girl has been taken in by Tim and Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) although all is far from rosy. Lucy is deeply damaged by the loss of her mother and lashes out at Tim and Sally.

What is Christina’s connection to Lucy, and why do I get the feeling that it can’t be good?
