Coronation Street<\/a> spoilers follow.
<\/p>\n

Coronation Street fans think they’ve uncovered a massive spoiler as part of the ITV soap’s upcoming murder-mystery storyline<\/a>. Five characters are in danger<\/a> as part of the brand-new arc, which will see one character depart Weatherfield.<\/p>\n

The potential victims<\/a> include Carl Webster, Theo Silverton, Jodie Ramsey, Megan Walsh and Maggie Driscoll, with a flash-forward sequence that aired earlier this year showing Betsy Swain being questioned by police after discovering a body. <\/p>\n

The rumour mill is in full swing as fans have scoured each episode for clues as to who will meet their untimely demise, and they’ve been picking apart a new post on Instagram<\/a> from actor Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl.<\/p>\n

In a photo, Howard posed alongside co-stars Alan Halsall, Vinta Morgan and Michael Le Vell, who portray Tyrone Dobbs, Ronnie Bailey and Kevin Webster respectively. In the caption, he wrote: “Sun finally came out to say hello on the cobbles today…”<\/p>\n

Fans in the comment section speculated that this means Carl isn’t the murder victim as the snap suggests he is still filming scenes for the soap, with one writing: “Well I\u2019m guessing Carl doesn\u2019t die!! Spoiler alert lol.”<\/p>\n

Another posted: “Ooo\u2026Carl ain\u2019t the one ending up \ud83d\udc80 on the 23rd then\u2026,” while a third commented: “Oh, so one less murder victim suspect. I\u2019m pleased \ud83d\udc4f.” However, seeing as nothing has yet been confirmed, one fan supposed that it could be a red herring. <\/p>\n

Recent scenes in the soap have seen Carl manipulate his mother, Debbie<\/a>, into giving him money in order to pay off a debt. He secured the funds, but was found chasing his tail as it was revealed that he had asked for more than he owed.<\/p>\n

Debbie said that she was done with Carl as a result of his latest deceit, but the schemer has taken things one step further as he prepares to blackmail his own flesh and blood<\/a>. Debbie’s husband Ronnie, however, isn’t in the mood to let Carl get away with it<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
