Coronation Street has confirmed six official suspects for Theo Silverton’s murder<\/a> as the hunt for the killer gets under way. <\/p>\n

In Friday’s episode, the soap’s flashforward death mystery<\/a> was finally resolved after it was revealed that Theo was the dead body found by Betsy Swain on Carla and Lisa’s wedding day. <\/p>\n

With the victim revealed, the soap has now shifted the focus as the hunt for Theo’s killer begins, with Kit and Lisa set to launch a series of investigations as they attempt to piece together the events of that night. <\/p>\n

Per an official press release, upcoming scenes will see everyone on the street struggling to come to terms with the fact that one of their own is a murderer as the suspects attempt to keep their secrets hidden. <\/p>\n

According to the soap, this month’s scenes will see the pressure mount to a breaking point as the hunt for Theo\u2019s killer commences. <\/p>\n

This week, Todd Grimshaw, George Shuttleworth, and Gary Windass all face a grilling interrogation as the first of six suspects in the murder. <\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, Summer Spellman, Christina Boyd and Danielle Silverton follow in their footsteps, with the soap lining up each character’s motives, which read as follows: <\/p>\n

“Having survived Theo’s continuous abuse and weary of him escaping justice, did the desire for freedom from Theo finally push Todd to take the ultimate revenge?”<\/p>\n

“Despite fiercely maintaining his innocence, is George\u2019s desperation to protect someone else a cover for his own deadly crime? <\/p>\n

“Did Gary\u2019s protective intervention for Todd cross a line, turning into an act of deadly revenge against the man tormenting his friend?<\/p>\n

“After living with the knowledge that Theo killed Billy, did the weight of this trauma finally push Summer to commit murder?<\/p>\n

“Her loyalty to George is pushed to the limit, leaving us wondering what explosive secret she is desperately trying to conceal. Was Christina a part of Theo\u2019s demise? <\/p>\n

“Whispers begin circulating about Danielle\u2019s motives to kill her ex-husband. Did she have a score to settle or could there be a financial motive?”<\/p>\n

Teasing what’s to come, the soap promised that “a complex web of lies” is set to be exposed, asking whether any of the suspects will be charged with Theo’s murder. <\/p>\n

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