Can't believe we're on a new thread already. Filling up so fast these days!

Brief summary:

Todd has finally left the dreadful Theo, (after he badly beat up Todd,) but Theo is not keen on leaving him alone (although he has been told to by the police.)

Carla and Lisa (Swain) are planning on getting married very shortly.

Carl has been trying to extort money out of Summer for information, as he knows Theo killed Billy. (Summer knows this now too as Theo cornered her in the shop and told her as much, threatening to 'bury her too.') Summer is - very sensibly - not giving Carl a penny until Theo is arrested!

The ghastly Megan (Trainer) seems to have vanished, so Sam is relatively safe for now, but Sam has been having hallucinations and keeps seeing Will there - coming at him - when Will is nowhere near. Toyah, Leanne, and Eva have tricked Megan into meeting her (by sending a text from the burner phone Megan gave Will, and pretending to be Will...) Not sure what they're going to do when they meet her!

Ben Driscoll has just found out the man he knew as dad is not his bio father, and Jim McDonald is actually his father (so he is.)

The effervescent Debbie is declining a little bit more by the week, but is still in fighting spirit, and is seeing Carl for the parasite he really is. The gorgeous Ronnie is always by her side. Carl has just decided to cause a flood in Debbie's hotel by leaving the taps running in one of the rooms, after she told him he was very difficult to love, and refused to let him have half the hotel after he threatened to report Ronnie to the police for hitting him.

Shona's annoying sister Jodie is causing trouble all over the place! She's stolen Lisa's police badge, and a girl she uses to be a nanny for has turned up. Jodie is not happy about this!

Probably a bit more is happening, but I'm sure it will come up soon. Smile

Found a drawing within 5 minutes of Shona slipping up yet a year ago Max set fire to the Platt house and they lost everything.

Haha very true! I think it will be Jodie that dies and Shona will blame David for kicking her out.

Yeah, that's a good point!

Andepeda · 30/04/2026 10:00

I'm still backing an outsider here, I think Debbie kills Carl.

Great point about the dog picture @dovesquare

Lorrymum · 30/04/2026 10:22

Did Jodie return Lisa's warrant card?

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 10:24

So, the box with Shona’s letters in wasn’t set alight then! It survived the big fire.

JewelleryCat · 30/04/2026 11:04

Lorrymum · 30/04/2026 10:22

I don’t think so. Mind you, I didn’t get why she stole it in the first place

ShyMaryEllen · 30/04/2026 12:24

I don't understand about the dog picture. I noticed the reference, but couldn't connect it to anything.

I'm a bit bored of the murder story now. I want Theo to leave, and don't want to lose Todd or Roy, but that's about how much I care just now, and I've watched Corrie for more years than I care to remember. I wouldn't mind if all the Driscolls left, and apart from Ronnie the Baileys are pointless too.

The oldies (Ken, Rita, Audrey) are mainly in cameo roles now, so aren't really adding anything, and none of the others stand out as main characters any more.

I felt sorry for poor Kirk the other night, when he said 'My person is out there somewhere'😢 I don't want him, but he's a decent bloke in his way.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 13:25

Has Kirk ever had a relationship with anyone?

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 30/04/2026 13:37

Isn't Kirk still married to Beth, he should go off to Norfolk and join her - Happy Ever After :)

eggandonion · 30/04/2026 13:43

And Julie came in as kirks partner...and Fizz. Beth could come back occasionally?
But a nice lady who likes dogs might be good....and Peanut would enjoy trips to Norfolk. To the mysterious factreh in East anglia.
So many possibilities.

TipsyPeachSnake · 30/04/2026 08:53

For the Theo & Todd’s episode they played Finally (it’s happened to me) by CeCe. It starts…Meeting Mr Right, the man of my dreams…!

Carls episode started with Cyndi Laupers Time after Time.

And last nights episode was Happy Together by the Turtles.

I think the lyrics appear to have some relevance to each storyline.

Yes and Carla and Lisa’s tune was Pink Pony Club !!

Empress13 · 30/04/2026 13:56

We should do a competition as to who we think murderer/murdered is see who gets it right

Good idea! Me first, Debbie murders Carl.

JewelleryCat · 30/04/2026 14:44

The “I hate Theo” gang all murder him, a bit like one of the Poirot plots

eggandonion · 30/04/2026 14:50

I think Carl kills Theo but the others are behind him so complicit.

Gingercar · 30/04/2026 14:51

I wouldn’t be suprised if they shock us and have someone else murdered. There have been loads of other characters wandering around the streets during that evening…

I think Theo will be the one murdered, just because they seemed to have set it up well for Gary to be blamed with the CCTV and the threatening text.

My guess for murderer is Summer, defending Todd.

dottyshihtzu · 30/04/2026 15:14

zanahoria · 29/04/2026 18:34

Does anyone know why she killed Imran ?

He set Abi up to make it look like she was buying drugs so she'd lose Alfie and he and Toyah would get full custody. Toyah found out and killed him.

dovesquare · 30/04/2026 15:19

I don’t think they will kill Theo. I honestly think this week has been utterly shit with the writing but they have a duty of care for him to be held accountable and go to prison so those going through the story in real life know their abuser can be punished.

HaddyAbrams · 30/04/2026 15:20

I think Theo will be the victim because Corrie never bother making sure anyone gets justice.

JewelleryCat · 30/04/2026 15:21

Soaps don’t bring anyone justice anymore, they just kill them off

zanahoria · 30/04/2026 15:28

Abi murders Carl

TipsyPeachSnake · 30/04/2026 15:39

There’s only one I think it’s definitely not & that’s Carl.

Lorrymum · 30/04/2026 17:55

Please don't let Freddie the dog be a murder victim!
