\t\t\"Coronation
\n\t\tCould Carl Webster be set to meet his maker? (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

There\u2019s set to be another murder on the cobbles of Coronation Street<\/a> next month, but this one comes with an added twist \u2013 we won\u2019t know which character is the victim.<\/p>\n

The show is set to air a special flash-forward episode<\/a> in the middle of February, which will see one local find a dead body. Initially, viewers won\u2019t know who the body is, but it will be revealed over the course of the storyline, producer Kate Brooks<\/a> explained.<\/p>\n

\u2018There are five potential victims and we\u2019ll take the audience on a journey for them to try and figure out who that body is and what happened, what\u2019s the backstory to it and how did it get to that place, why did that person die.\u2019<\/p>\n

After recent scenes, it looks likely that one of the five potential victims could be Carl Webster<\/a> (Jonathan Howard<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that Carl has done wrong by almost everyone on the cobbles \u2013 and certainly everyone in his immediate family.<\/p>\n

From the outset, he stole brother Kevin\u2019s (Michael Le Vell) wife, Abi Webster<\/a> (Sally Carman<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Abi
\n\t\tCarl had an affair with Abi Webster (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

Then, he cheated on her with James Bailey<\/a> (Jason Callender<\/a>).<\/p>\n

At the same time, he was using Debbie Webster<\/a>\u2019s (Sue Devaney) dementia to gain access to her business accounts and stealing money from her.<\/p>\n

And to top it off, he got behind the wheel of a car drunk, drove straight into a multi-vehicle pile-up, and is now letting Debbie take the blame.<\/p>\n

Oh, and did I mention that he almost paralysed Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) in a hit and run last year? <\/p>\n

That happened while he was orchestrating a criminal operation from Kevin\u2019s garage, while having teenagers Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) and Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) do his dirty work.<\/p>\n

So, in short, there are more than enough people on Coronation Street with a motive to want Carl dead.<\/p>\n

Kevin has made it his mission to bring Carl down in any way possible, but his efforts so far have proved fruitless.<\/p>\n

Abi already took her revenge<\/a> when she stole Carl\u2019s stolen money and stopped him being able to runaway to Germany, but will the memories of that be enough to satisfy her?<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Theo
\n\t\tCould Carl be Theo Silverton\u2019s next victim? (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

Or, could Carl\u2019s potential killer be someone else entirely?<\/p>\n

In recent scenes, Carl overheard Theo Silverton<\/a> (James Cartwright) confessing to Billy Mayhew\u2019s murder, which obviously did not go down well.<\/p>\n

During a confrontation, Theo threatened to put Carl in a coffin<\/a> if he breathed a word about what he knew to Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce).<\/p>\n

Could we be set to see Theo commit his second murder? And will Carl be the mystery body in the flash-forward?<\/p>\n
