Coronation Street’s Theo Silverton might have his murderous sights set on Carl Webster as the soap readies to reveal the victim of Murder Mystery Week<\/a>. Carl is one of five potential victims of Corrie’s new whodunit alongside Theo, Megan Walsh<\/a>, Jodie Ramsey and Maggie Driscoll<\/a>. <\/p>\n

After Carl triggered a dementia episode in Debbie<\/a> and tried to scam Summer Spellman out of her inheritance, there’s no shortage of people in Weatherfield who might want to get rid of him.<\/p>\n

In today’s episode, currently available to watch on ITVX, Carl is set to spoils Theo’s chances of a family reconciliation with his son Miles, but will this put a target on his back?<\/p>\n

The new scenes see Carl overhear Theo begging Miles to speak with his mum so they can give it another shot as a family. Corrie fans know that abusive Theo left his family for Todd Grimshaw, with the two getting married earlier this year. <\/p>\n

Theo has displayed increasingly coercive and violent behaviour towards Todd, who finally managed to escape his spouse’s clutches and is planning a trip to Thailand to visit his mum Eileen and brother James. But will Theo try and stop him?<\/p>\n

Now alone, Theo is desperately seeking someone to cling on to, trying to mend his broken relationship with Miles.<\/p>\n

However, his plan goes awry when Carl spots the father-son duo talking and pretends to be Theo’s new boyfriend. An upset Miles storms off as Theo runs after him, though not before he throws Carl a look of pure hatred. <\/p>\n

Later on, Theo catches up with Carl. As the two men square up to each other, Kit Green intervenes.<\/p>\n

In recent scenes, Corrie has confirmed that Carl holds incriminating information about Theo, having overheard him confess to the murder of Billy Mayhew. <\/p>\n

As Carl has now pulled a ruse that might further isolate Theo, will this be the last straw for Billy’s killer? And could he strike again?<\/p>\n

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