Gary and Sarah’s big secret ‘confirmed’ in Coronation Street as a decision is reached | Soaps

Coronation Street fans have been suspicious of Gary Windass (Mikey North) and Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) for weeks now, and tonight’s (Sunday, June 7) episode confirmed that they’re hiding something big.

Things have been tense between Gary and DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) since the beginning of Theo Silverton’s murder investigation, with Kit having already pegged Gary as his number one suspect.

In tonight’s episode, Kit questioned Gary about Todd Grimshaw’s (Gareth Pierce) missing phone, which had been found in a pawn shop covered in Brody Michaelis’ (Ryan Mulvey) fingerprints.

With Brody having admitted that he found it in the skip outside the builder’s yard, Kit turned his attention back to Gary – though he was easily able to explain things away.

That wasn’t enough to put Kit off, though, and when Sarah overheard him sharing his suspicions with DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) over the phone, she wasted no time in arranging to meet Gary.

In their clandestine meeting, it became clear that Sarah and Gary know something, though whether or not it’s related to Theo’s murder is anyone’s guess.

Before they could get too deep into conversation, they were startled by Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) arriving home unexpectedly, forcing Sarah to hide and Gary to find a way to usher her out of the flat.

Having persuaded her to join him in the Rovers for dinner, Gary was in the pub when Todd arrived and revealed that Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), who is currently awaiting trial for Theo’s murder, had been hospitalised.

As Todd ranted to Kit that Summer had deliberately turned off her insulin pump to get out of prison, Gary rushed outside for air, where Sarah soon came to meet him.

It was clear that whatever the pair of them are hiding has taken its toll on Gary, who admitted to Sarah that he ‘doesn’t know how much more he can take’ and that he ‘can’t do this anymore’.

What can’t he do? He seemed to feel guilty about what Summer is going through, so could he have had something to do with the murder after all? Could he and Sarah be covering for each other?

Or is there something else going on? Could Gary be set to put an end to whatever they’re hiding?
