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 ITV soap 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 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 \t\t So, in short, there are more than enough people on Coronation Street with a motive to want Carl dead.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tDon’t miss a Soaps scoop!

And will Carl be the mystery body in the flash-forward?<\/p>\n Or, could it be someone else? Villains are always at risk when there\u2019s a whodunnit on the horizon, and Coronation Street certainly isn\u2019t short of baddies<\/a> at the moment.<\/p>\n As well as being a killer, Theo has also been abusing Todd. Could one of their neighbours find out the truth and end up killing Theo?<\/p>\n Down the street, predator Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) has been grooming Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) and threatening Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan), while Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown) has been acting shifty since moving onto the cobbles.<\/p>\n Will it be a villain that falls victim to the upcoming murder, or could it be someone else entirely? Is anyone truly safe?<\/p>\n This article was first published on January 28, 2026.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Abi](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/19_11_coro_abi_carl_02-84b6.jpg\")
