Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow from Monday’s episode (18 May)<\/a>, which is available to watch now on ITVX<\/a> and YouTube<\/a> but hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street’s Kit Green names Summer Spellman as his new “prime suspect” in Theo Silverton’s murder<\/a> tonight – and it’s all down to a brooch that could help to crack the case.<\/p>\n

When Kit briefly takes some time out from work to look through photos from Lisa and Carla Connor-Swain’s wedding reception, he realises that there’s a crucial clue hiding in plain sight.<\/p>\n

Pointing out one of the pictures to Lisa, he says: “She’s wearing the brooch from Todd’s flat. Looks like we’ve got a new prime suspect.”<\/p>\n

As Lisa agrees and pops the photo on the evidence board, it’s revealed that Summer is the mystery brooch-wearer in question\u2026<\/p>\n

Summer wore the item of jewellery while attending Lisa and Carla’s wedding reception at Underworld.<\/p>\n

Just in case you’re struggling to remember the significance of all this, the brooch was previously mentioned on Wednesday 6 May, when George Shuttleworth was being interviewed by police.<\/p>\n

At the time, DS Connor-Swain said: “For the tape, I’m showing Mr Shuttleworth a photograph of a brooch that was found at the flat.<\/p>\n

“It’s covered in blood – and DNA results to follow. Have you seen this brooch before?”<\/p>\n

George replied: “I’ve never seen it before. Given that I’ve never clapped eyes on it in my life, not a clue [who it belongs to].”<\/p>\n

We know that Summer was filled with hatred for Theo before he died, but was she really capable of murder?<\/p>\n

Harriet Bibby, who plays Summer, recently explained: “I think we’ve seen a lot of level-headed Summer in the past, although she can be quite reactive as well.<\/p>\n

“Now that she doesn’t have Billy, and Todd’s been going through what he’s been going through, she’s really had to cement herself and make her own decisions.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “So I am really excited to see a different side to Summer and for people to question whether or not she could be capable of doing something like this.<\/p>\n

“I think there’s a scenario where she might have felt like it was either her that was going to be hurt, or maybe even killed, or it was him. I think when people are pushed to that point, it\u2019s interesting to see what they will do to survive.<\/p>\n

“It’s no secret that Theo was very threatening, he even said that he was going to bury Summer if she got in his way, so there could have been a moment where she felt like it was either her or him.”<\/p>\n

In another scene tonight, George accidentally knocks over Summer’s bag and is stunned to spot a page from her journal, where she describes how much she hated Theo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
