A murder will occur during the week of April 27 on Coronation Street, with five villains in danger, according to multiple reports. The death was teased in a flashforward episode earlier this year showing Betsy Swain discovering a dead body on Carla Connor and Lisa Swain's wedding day.
The five potential victims are Megan Walsh, Maggie Driscoll, Jodie Ramsey, Theo Silverton, and Carl Webster, major media outlets report. The death reveal is rumored to air on Friday, May 1, though this has not been confirmed.
This will be an intriguing story and it’s our big thriller-esque story as we head into spring and early summer. It’ll involve an awful lot of the community.
Jodie Ramsey has a dark secret involving an unwelcome face from her past returning to the Cobbles, according to multiple reports. She used to work as a nanny for a child named Olivia, who returns and is invited for tea by Shona Platt.
Coronation Street has released a teaser trailer hinting at a shock death, major media reports. The teaser shows Betsy Swain being interviewed by police after finding a dead body.
I don’t think I’ve ever told a story that involved quite as many characters. It’s everyone. Everyone’s impacted, everyone is affected by this story and there are so many twists and turns. It’s been a real challenge in some ways because it’s very complex and intricate, but it’s so exciting.
Producer Kate Brooks described the storyline as "intriguing" and "our big thriller-esque story as we head into spring and early summer." She said it will involve "an awful lot of the community." Brooks added, "I don't think I've ever told a story that involved quite as many characters. It's everyone. Everyone's impacted, everyone is affected by this story and there are so many twists and turns."
Brooks also noted that the plot will keep viewers guessing. "Just when we think the story is going in one direction it does a U-turn and goes in a completely different direction," she said. "It's something that keeps people on the edge of their seats, I think, and keeps people guessing until the very end." She warned, "Don't be fooled by what you think is happening because that might not be the case."
