Viewers of Coronation Street think they know which character is about to be killed off.
The ITV soap confirmed a murder whodunnit was on the way, with five potential victims. A new trailer has revisited this plot ahead of it airing later this month, once again confirming who is at risk.
All five possible victims slowly walk towards the street’s undertakers, where owner George Shuttleworth is waiting outside by a hearse. A coffin has been placed in the hearse, and George puts a floral arrangement, shaped like a question mark, on top of the casket.
Megan Walsh, Maggie Driscoll, Carl Webster, Theo Silverton and Jodie Ramsey all walk slowly, appearing nervous, towards their potential fate. George then stares at them sinisterly, with it known one of these five characters will meet a grim end.

Fans now think they know who it is that is killed, and who their killer might be. The key theory is that Carl is going to be killed off in the shocking twist later this month.
Fans think that another of the possible victims will actually be the killer. After Carl found out Theo had killed vicar Billy Mayhew, fans think Theo will strike again to silence Carl, killing him too.
Taking to social media a fan said: “Theo kills Carl,” as another agreed: “Think Theo kills Carl as knows about Billy.” A third said: “Yes think Theo kills Carl as someone has already said.”
A further post read: “It’s got a blue rose on it so maybe male over female. I think Carl confronts Theo and it’s Carl that dies. I think Theo will get sent down and not written out of the programme so he can come back in the future.”

The theory kept on being shared by fans with one saying: “I think Theo kills Carl,” and another posted: “Carl will die his exit is on the 23rd of this month via a body bag.” But not everyone thought Carl would die.
Some fans think it’s Megan Walsh after her recent baby twist, while fans also wondered if Maggie will be the victim. A fan said: “Megan as her storyline has run out, but I’d rather it was Theo!”
Another fan posted: “I think it will be Megan,” as a third said: “Maggie, that flower on the question mark looks like something she puts in her hair!” A final comment read: “Could Be Maggie one more final showdown between her and Megan and Maggie gets the fatal end.”
