The abuser was bumped off after a week of dramatic episodes of the ITV soap
Coronation Street fans have made a major prediction about Theo Silverton’s killer – and they’re sure there isn’t just one person involved in bumping off the abuser.
There were jaw-dropping scenes in the ITV soap last week as Theo was among five Weatherfield villains in mortal peril, with one of them confirmed to be being killed off at the end of a dramatic week of episodes that left fans guessing as to who the victim would be.
Fans will recall that the ‘who is it’ storyline was initially confirmed back in February in a flashforward episode of Corrie, in which Betsy Swain was revealed as the one to discover the dead body of one of her neighbours.

At the time, the shocked teen was seen being interviewed by the police after discovering the dead body of someone she knew, before it was revealed that it could be Theo, Carl Webster, Jodie Ramsey, Maggie Driscoll or Megan Walsh.
The shocked teen was heard explaining that she had been at her mum, Lisa Swain, and Carla Connor’s wedding, and that it was when she decided to head into town that she made the discovery. While the wedding took place in April, it wasn’t until last week that Corrie was seen revisiting that day, with each episode seen from the perspective of a different potential victim.
It was right at the end of the fifth and final episode of the week that Corrie revealed abuser Theo’s time on the cobbles had come to a permanent end, which comes after Todd Grimshaw bravely reported him to the police over the abuse he had subjected him to for months.
In the nail-biting episode, Todd played a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse to outsmart a vengeful Theo. Todd managed to hide, and he called Christina Boyd to let her and George know what had happened. It wasn’t long before Christina set off to go and find him, warning George to stay at the house.
Meanwhile, Summer Spellman found herself caught in the crossfire when she came face-to-face with a sinister Theo, who forced her to hand over her phone, which he then chucked out of the window. Soon, outside, a jovial Betsy was given the shock of her life as she stumbled across the villain’s lifeless body.
A ‘whodunnit’ has since got underway, with the six possible killers being confirmed as Todd (Gareth Pierce), George (Tony Mauldsley) and Gary Winass, who are this week seen facing interrogation from DS Lisa Connor-Swain and DC Kit Green, while in the coming weeks, Summer, Christina Boyd and Theo’s ex-wife, Danielle Silverton will follow in their footsteps. But who was responsible for Theo’s demise?
Well, Corrie fans are now predicting it’s a joint effort. One asked: “What if Theo’s death was the result of a group effort? #Corrie.” Another replied: “I’m thinking the same, they all had a go at him.” A third admitted: “That would be an amazing twist!”
Another fan shared: “Melanie is annoying and needs to avoid staircases when Maggie is discharged from hospital. Swain will charge George because DNA will match Theo. Think Summer with Gary’s help murdered Theo. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a group killing. #Corrie.” A fifth viewer added: “Theo got hit by Carl, then George, then maybe a 3rd time by Summer (or Gary). My guess? A dazed Theo climbed onto the scaffolding to spot Todd from above the street, and a push from a mystery person (Miles) sent him over the edge. Unintentional group effort. #Corrie.”
