‘It has to be him!’ Coronation Street fans ‘work out’ who buys the factory from Carla, and it’s not Idris
Fans are convinced it lines up with a returning characterCoronation Street fans have been really concerned about the factory after the last few episodes. But now, they are convinced Idris won’t be getting his hands on it.
Over the last few days, Idris has been ramping up his antics against the factory, trying to force Carla to sell up. And while we can’t imagine a Coronation Street where she doesn’t own the business, it is looking more and more likely.
Although she has no idea that he has been behind everything, Idris is determined to get his hands on the factory. But Coronation Street fans are convinced things won’t be that simple.

Idris sabotages the factory in Coronation Street
Last week, Idris told Leanne that he would love to own the factory, but she remained adamant that Carla would never sell it to him. However, he soon began plotting.
His first move was to turn a potential client against her. He told the man that Carla couldn’t be trusted and that he shouldn’t agree to do business with her. Carla was left confused when the man pulled out.
But then he ramped things up. Idris gave Brody a lighter and used him to sabotage the factory. Brody slipped in when nobody was watching, but before he left, he activated the sprinklers.
Faced with the devastating water damage, Carla realised the business was in serious trouble and that she had no way to save it.
This means Idris could get his wish, but some Coronation Street fans think the factory will actually go to someone else entirely.

Fans convinced someone else will buy it from Carla
Taking to social media, Coronation Street fans theorised that returning character Owen Armstrong could step in to save the factory.
One fan penned: “Owen is meant to be coming back so it could be him who buys it.”
Another agreed: “I think it will be Izzy’s dad. He’s coming back and could want to save his daughter from losing her job.”
“Owen must buy the factory then, since he’s coming back. He would be better at it than Idris, and it would keep Izzy in a job,” a third wrote.
However, others think someone like Roy could help keep the factory afloat for Carla. One viewer commented: “I think Roy could help Carla out with the factory.”
