The hunt for Theo Silverton’s killer continues… (Picture: ITV)
Police think they’re on the right track to finding Theo Silverton’s murderer in Coronation Street, but tonight’s episode proved how wrong they are.
Poor Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) was arrested this week after becoming the prime suspect in the investigation.
She was seen wearing a brooch that was later found in Theo’s flat, which resulted in her being brought in for questioning.
From there, things only got worse as George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) told DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) that Summer had lied about her whereabouts on the night of Theo’s death.
The final nail in the coffin was the fact that she was actively trying to leave the country when the police came to arrest her. The odds are certainly stacked against her.
However, throughout her interrogation, Summer maintained her innocence, insisting that Theo had been alive when she left the flat.

It was during her interview that she remembered that Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) had seen her leaving, and had looked up to the window where Theo had been stood.
She assured Lisa that Tyrone would confirm her story, and the detective wasted no time seeking out Tyrone for corroboration.
Alone in her cell, Summer had a flashback to the night of Theo’s murder, and it was revealed that he had threatened her in a terrifying confrontation.
He warned her that if she spoke out, she’d be seeing Billy Mayhew sooner than she’d like.
Viewers will know that Billy was killed earlier this year, after Theo trapped him in the burning minivan during the Corriedale pile-up, leaving him unable to escape before it exploded.

Shocked by Theo’s explicit threat, Summer left the flat, leaving Theo behind and very much alive – just like she’d told the police.

Unfortunately, this didn’t matter, as Lisa soon returned with the news that Tyrone hadn’t backed up her story.
Summer was horrified and when Lisa revealed that she was being charged with murder and would likely remain in prison until her trial.
Will the truth come out before it gets that far, or could Summer be set to spend the rest of her life in prison for a crime she didn’t commit?
