CORONATION STREET THREAD. Things are heating up! We should be finding out who killed Theo soon! Now in mid June 2026. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

So the 'Who Killed Theo' saga carries on. I think we should find out who it is soon... Fit Kit and Swain are on the case still. (For what its worth!) 😆

Poor Sam has been sectioned, and is quite unwell, and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Gary and Sarah are in cahoots about something, (related to Theo's death, I think.) Oh, and Maria thinks they're having an affair.

Some random lads are chasing and threatening Brodeh. Who knows why!

Ma Driscoll has been quiet for a while.

Will is still sneakily staying in touch with Megan Trainer!

Alya's cousin Idris (who has never been mentioned before AFAIK) has appeared on the street, and has been seeing Leanne.

Carl, Kevin, and dishy Ronnie have buried the hatchet (for now! Hopefully it lasts!)

And what is Jodie going to do with Carl's gun?!

Sorry if I've missed anything!

So Cassie is Tyrone’s mum ?

80s, yes, unbelievably for so many reasons Cassie is his mother. Ex drug addict and general con artist. They rewrote history for this a couple of years ago, as he had already had a long lost mother, Jackie, played by Margi Clarke.

@SabreIsMyFave yes, Frankie was being held by Lauren while her, Frankie and Betsy were on the swings at the precinct and Lauren said something like “we’re going to miss Auntie Betsy aren’t we”

I think Ross was a punter when Cassie was a prostitute. That would explain why she didn’t remember him properly and why he said he’d tell everyone how they met if she didn’t help him to see Tyrone.

Maybe they sent Ruby's and identified her grandfather.

Yes he said he paid her when she was a prostitute.

I have absolutely no idea how things work between prostitutes and their clients, but would either of them have given their real names? Or if they did, would they give the full name, or just a first name?

I feel sad that Todd and Sarah are not talking.
The new woman with Lisa looks hard , I bet she gets wind of something. Not that anyone cares Theo is dead , but she looks the sort to want to find the one who did it.

Did Cassie sleep with this Ross the other night ?

No, he knocked her back.

Oh, so he didn’t sleep with Cassie.
This guy is a bit like Mal isn’t he!

why oh why do we keep having to have plots can’t it go back to the old days of having a few weeks of just chat and banter so much drama for a small street! I’d love to see Kit and Maria get together! Now that would be a good
plot line !

I wondered that too. Maybe he paid her by cheque. 😂

Perhaps we will get the whole story when nanna explains it to Hope and Ruby

It was Cassies’ older boyfriend at the time that got her into drugs and made her sleep with his friends for money so that’s likely how she recognised the name. She was clearly groomed as only 15 at the time and became a druggie. She should be calling the police on Ross. I‘m confused what Ross thinks he can threaten her with as Tyrone already knows her history?

If Tyrone knows her background, then she may as well come clean. She doesn’t want Steve finding out what’s gone on, but being blackmailed by Ross and Tracy lapping it up , she may as well tell the truth !

I think Cassie is most worried about Ross telling them about the previous night, when she was drunk as a skunk and tried to sleep with him.

Hope said "we took some of your DNA and sent it to this website". How did they get Ty's DNA without him knowing? (It is a very Hope thing to do admittedly.)

They plonk big stories down, like Christina’s spending, with no prior evidence. We had no hints of it, then suddenly there it is, fully developed with an ex husband agreeing not to press charges.

You can’t invest in storylines because they just fall out of the sky.

I did like the script though, some nice lines. I liked the jokes about how crap Weathy police are.

The prior evidence of Christina’s spending history is I guess her relationship with money. The fact she has always been obsessed with money, was a scammer, even tried to scam her own daughter of money! Addiction of any kind is a good way of excusing / explaining this behaviour by framing the perpetrator as a victim too.

Any news on Jodie’s gun? Has she just hidden it and that woman hasn’t been back to find it ?

I think I meant Glenda, didn’t she live in a house left by Archie Shuttleworth so why was she involved in the house discussion

plus if Christina had a shopping addiction where would she hide all the stuff without George noticing

You can’t invest in storylines because they just fall out of the sky.

This!

There is just no depth any more. They seem to think things dragging on = depth. It doesn't.

I was invested in how that little bag from the takeaway was going to feed them all 😆

I get Christina and Glenda mixed up.

Was Ross (new Mal) wearing a wig in that scene in the shop? You could see the edges.

Ross is definitely wearing a wig ! ( syrup of figs !!)
I thought this too.

Surely it's too bad to be a wig, it's a badly died mop of his own hair? It did look awful yesterday!

When he plays a cop in EastEnders his hair looks natural and there is plenty of it. I think it's just appallingly styled and dyed in Corrie.
