There\u2019s a big episode coming up for Coronation Street<\/a> as the ITV<\/a> soap delves into the world of flash-forwards<\/a>.<\/p>\n Next week, viewers will be given a glimpse into a fateful night in April, when it becomes clear that a brutal murder has been committed.<\/p>\n As if poor Betsy Swain<\/a> (Sydney Martin<\/a>) hasn\u2019t been through enough in recent months, things are set to get even worse when she finds a body.<\/p>\n At the police station, she is jittery as she faces questions from the officers \u2013 but who is the body?<\/p>\n By the end of the episode, the list of potential victims will be narrowed down to five, leaving a handful of Coronation Street residents at risk.<\/p>\n There are plenty of characters who could find themselves face-to-face with death for a whole host of reasons, but by the time April rolls around a lot could have changed.<\/p>\n \t\t As of right now, it all remains a mystery.<\/p>\n The current prime candidate<\/a> seems to be Carl Webster<\/a> (Jonathan Howard<\/a>), who has managed to get on the wrong side of almost all of his neighbours \u2013 the classic recipe for a whodunnit build up.<\/p>\n But there are plenty of other villains<\/a> who are due some comeuppance, like abuser Theo Silverton<\/a> (James Cartwright<\/a>) and predator Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon).<\/p>\n Unfortunately, it isn\u2019t always the bad guys who find themselves on the wrong side of a soap murder mystery \u2013 a lot of the time, they\u2019re the ones doing the killing.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve already seen Theo silence Billy Mayhew for good<\/a> after he uncovered his abuse, so could someone else be set to find out the truth about his relationship with Todd Grimshaw<\/a> (Gareth Pierce<\/a>) and end up losing their life?<\/p>\n \t\t Todd is close to Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), Sarah Platt (Tina O\u2019Brien) and George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley), so could one of them be in danger?<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tDon’t miss a Soaps scoop!

Could the murder victim be someone completely unrelated?<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018This will be an intriguing story and it\u2019s our big thriller-esque story as we head into spring and early summer. It\u2019ll involve an awful lot of the community,\u2019 producer Kate Brooks previously teased<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u2018I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever told a story that involved quite as many characters. It\u2019s everyone. Everyone\u2019s impacted, everyone is affected by this story and there are so many twists and turns. It\u2019s been a real challenge in some ways because it\u2019s very complex and intricate, but it\u2019s so exciting.<\/p>\n \u2018Just when we think the story is going in one direction it does a U-turn and goes in a completely different direction. It\u2019s something that keeps people on the edge of their seats, I think, and keeps people guessing until the very end.<\/p>\n \u2018Don\u2019t be fooled by what you think is happening because that might not be the case\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n It would appear that the only person who is definitely safe from the grim reaper is Betsy\u2026 Or is she?<\/p>\n Arrow![\"Betsy](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/16_02_coro_betsy_02-946c.jpg\")
