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

@AmusedMaker
I agree with all your likes except Christina. I find her so hammy.

I like Carl, very good actor, interesting complex character, and in the old days he would have been rehabilitated after his crimes and stay on (like David). But they don't do that nowadays and he'll be in the bin shortly.

(Obviously I can't agree about Debbie! She is being quite over-used now though so I may not be that sorry by the time she goes.)

Yes he is good and multi faceted

I quite like Sarah. I used to really like her when she was younger, she had decent storylines and a lot of interaction with David and Gail. But lately they have ruined her with a string of hopeless relationships. She never had any chemistry with Adam or that awful gangster.

I agree with PP that Maria and Gary are an unlikely couple, no chemistry and no reason to be together.

Sarah and Candice were brilliant together, one of the best friendships ever on Corrie, it helped that they were good friends in real life. I would love to have her back.

Gingercar · 04/05/2026 20:08

I’d forgotten Candice! I don’t mind Maria or Sarah. No, they don’t do much, but they’re non offensive.

TheHillIsMine · 04/05/2026 20:41

Have I missed one? Last I saw Sarah was hit over the head. Was it on last night?

No. Friday night was: Theo dead with Carl, Ma Driscoll and SarahLou injured/in hospital. Jodie scarpered and Megan Trainer… well, we don’t know what happened to her (unless I missed it).

Please don’t let there be a long drawn out WhoDunnit.

TheHillIsMine · 04/05/2026 20:55

Thank you @JellyBeanSpring25

Triskellion75 · 04/05/2026 21:01

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was Miles, why else would he suddenly reappear the other week out of the blue?

JewelleryCat · 04/05/2026 21:03

Could be Danielle

So now we’ve you could be right with that.

The whodunnit is to last a month apparently.

Bollocks, it's one of these.

TipsyPeachSnake · 04/05/2026 21:16

Good episode. I think all the characters shown in the final sequence (during Kit and Lisa’s convo on Theo’s murder) are the suspects

They are

Danielle (ex wife)
George
Gary
Summer
Todd

Shellingbynight · 04/05/2026 21:44

Triskellion75 · 04/05/2026 21:14

Bollocks, it's one of these.

If they've got any sense (although I am well past thinking they have) it will be Christina or Danielle. Surely they do not want to lose decent characters to a Theo murder.

JewelleryCat · 04/05/2026 21:46

@dovesquare a month? I don’t think any of us can last another month with guessing g who might have done it

eggandonion · 04/05/2026 21:55

I hope Danielle. Im kind of interested in Christina's coat.

FrankieMcGrath · 04/05/2026 22:02

TipsyPeachSnake · 04/05/2026 12:42

Just me that loves Sarah and Maria then. They have been able to drive a lot of the love interest drama, characters like them are needed.

I think there are too many baddies on the street, although some recently culled. I prefer the exchanges between regular characters, dull conversations and the funny one liners, back to Corrie roots.

I do hope Carl character stays but glad Theo gone, he was a such a tense watch.

I agree, I like them too!

Who is Miles??

I wonder why Summer didn’t say she’d seen Theo?

Gingercar · 04/05/2026 22:15

Miles is Theo's son I think. (Miles his son and Millie his daughter.)..

Good episode tonight.

Is Christina really 6 feet tall?!

OP posts:
SabreIsMyFave · 04/05/2026 22:17

I ask because it looks like it on that line up. ^

zanahoria · 04/05/2026 22:38

Never mind the murderer, I am wondering who will be the first to be wrongly arrested

zanahoria · 04/05/2026 22:45

and has Ronnie messed up?

Carl was one on his way out until he intervened.

Now it looks like he is hanging around

Gingercar · 04/05/2026 22:49

Oh Ronnie had totally messed up.

I can understand his frustration though. Debbie is never seeing Carl again, then she loves him. Then she’s done with him. Then she loves him again…. It’s driving me mad too!

I’m saying Christina she was the last person to go out looking for Todd and she gave a funny look when Kit was talking to them

NCTDN · 05/05/2026 06:52

What happened to ma Driscoll? Was it shown her being found somewhere?

AmusedMaker · 05/05/2026 07:43

NCTDN · 05/05/2026 06:52

I think she just collapsed on the floor with a heart attack? she was seen lying in the street, then next episode she’s in hospital talking about the heart attack.
