Coronation Street revisits Billy Mayhew’s tragic death<\/a> next week as accusations fly over who was really responsible.<\/p>\n

Next week’s episodes see Ronnie Bailey agree to finally cut Carl some slack for Debbie’s sake. Carl is visibly relieved, although it’s unclear whether Ronnie is being genuine.<\/p>\n

Either way, Carl isn’t out of the firing line for long, as someone else ends up gunning for him.<\/p>\n

Summer Spellman is shocked when Abi Webster hints that Debbie may not have been driving the car on the night of the crash that led to Billy’s death.<\/p>\n

Still grieving for her surrogate dad, Summer is soon on a mission to find out the truth\u2026<\/p>\n

Later, Debbie is left flustered when Summer confronts her at the hotel, but Carl soon takes the bull by the horns and sends Summer in a new direction. He tells her that she should be looking closer to home when it comes to Billy’s killer.<\/p>\n

Fans will remember that Theo Silverton left Billy to die in the dramatic Corriedale special in January. Although Theo had a clear chance to save Billy, he chose to trap him further in the mini-bus that had crashed. Moments later, the vehicle exploded.<\/p>\n

A few days later, a guilt-ridden Theo reflected on his horrifying actions as he paid a visit to Billy’s body in the funeral parlour. Carl overheard<\/a> his emotional monologue, but chose to keep quiet after Theo uncovered some of his own sordid secrets<\/a>. <\/p>\n

With Carl starting to break his silence, will Summer realise that Carl is talking about Theo? And has he just wriggled off the hook once more over the crash?<\/p>\n

Speaking in January about why Billy was killed off, ITV soap boss Iain MacLeod told us: “You want stuff that pays off in a really big, final way. So, Corriedale has a climactic element to it.<\/p>\n

“Hats off to Dan Brocklebank [who played Billy]. He was an amazing presence in the show, both on and off screen. So that was a big ending, but it’s also the beginning of us realising the true depths of depravity to which Theo might sink.”<\/p>\n

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