Corrie blimey Coronation Street reveals FIVE characters who are facing being killed off in just two months time
CORONATION Street has revealed the FIVE characters at risk of being killed off in just two months time.
It comes after ITV soap bosses let slip a huge array of spoilers ahead of tonight’s flash forward episode.
Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks previously told of the “special episode coming up mid-February” where a dead body is found, yet the identity is unclear.
Now it has been confirmed how characters Carl Webster, Megan Walsh, Theo Silverton, Maggie Driscoll and Jodie Ramsey are the ones in the firing line.
Tonight’s episode, dated April 23 2026, puts them all in potential risk of being harmed.
Character Betsy Swain’s scream fills the air as she finds the body.
She then tells detectives she has found the dead body of someone she knows following her mum Lisa’s marriage to Carla Connor.
Each of the five characters are then touted as the victims – with suggestions hinted at their death.
Previously, producer Kate said: “So there are five potential victims and the audience, we’ll take the audience on a journey for them to try and figure out who that body is and what happened, what’s the backstory to it, how did they get to that place, why did that person die when they died.”
Kate noted: “Obviously this will be quite an intriguing story, it’s our big thriller-esque story as we go into spring, early summer, it will involve an awful lot of the community.
“I don’t think I’ve ever told a story that involves quite as many character groups, it’s everyone, everyone’s impacted, everyone’s affected by the story and there are so many twists and so many turns.”
She then teased: “Don’t be fooled by what you think is happening because that might not be the case.”
“It’s a few months. It’s a scene of a character being interviewed by the police, so we understand what’s happened, we understand the context of what’s happened but we don’t actually know who it’s happened to,” she added.
PLOT SUGGESTION
Now a Corrie spokesperson has added more meat to the bones in terms of the potential victims.
They said: “Megan Walsh is caught up in a web of lies as she continues to groom impressionable teen Will Driscoll. Is the truth about to come out and does someone believe she deserves to die for what she has done?
“One person who will do anything to protect her family is Maggie Driscoll. Having given a fake alibi for Will to stop him being charged with the Christmas Day attack on Daniel Osbourne, if she were to discover the truth about Megan and Will could she end up in danger herself?
“Carl Webster has burnt all his bridges when he let Debbie take the blame for the Corriedale accident which killed Billy Mayhew.
“Since finding out Debbie is actually his mum and not his sister he has pressed the self-destruct button and as he continues to goad both family and neighbours there is more than one person who would be glad to see the back of Carl.
“Theo Silverton’s coercive control over Todd has reached new lows, with their wedding looming, will Todd finally confide in his friends about what has been going on before it is too late? Maybe Todd wants to put an end to the torture or could someone take the law into their own hands?
“Despite initial reservations, the Platts have welcomed Shona’s estranged sister Jodie Ramsey into their home. But Jodie has been keeping secrets from them, and it seems she has got mixed up with some pretty shady characters in her past. Will trouble follow Jodie to Weatherfield, or could she upset people closer to home with her behaviour?
“As the episode comes to a close we flash forward again to April 23rd and the five characters are on the cobbles as Lisa and Carla’s wedding fireworks light up the night sky.
“As the lights flicker a battered and bruised Carl, frantic Jodie, a menacing Maggie, a bloody-nosed Megan and a furtive Theo stare into the darkness. In the final moments the terrified scream of Betsy Swain fills the air – but which Weatherfield resident will breathe their last on April 23rd?”
