Who are the girls in Jodie’s locket? 4 top Coronation Street theories
They clearly mean a lot to her
Jodie Ramsey was seen holding a gold locket necklace in Coronation Street tonight (Wednesday, February 11), home to two photos of some children.
She lied to Shona that she’d simply bought it at a charity shop and had no idea who the children were.
But, the item was actually part of a series of trinkets that she was rather secretive about. Jodie clearly knew who the children were. But, who are they? Here’s are four top theories hoping to solve this case.
Jodie locket theories
1. Secret children
When Jodie visited little baby niece Harper at the hospital, Shona asked her whether she would like to have children one day.
She then made a comment that she’d quite like to somewhere down the line but wanted to settle into life with the Platts first and get some practice bonding with Harper first.
But, being so keen to look after Harper and also form a bond with Lily too, could this be due to Jodie already having secret children of her own?
Has Jodie left these two smiling faces behind and jumped into a whole new life and a different family instead?
2. More Ramsey siblings
Jodie likes to remind the Platts and viewers quite often that Shona abandoned her as a child. Shona said that she’d come back for her but never did.
As soon as she got pregnant with Clayton, she wanted to give him a life away from the family she was brought up with. Shona assured Jodie that she often considered going back but she realised that it was too late and she was better off without her.
But, in the time that Shona had gone, could more Ramsey siblings had joined the scene? Shona would have no idea as she didn’t stay in contact with Jodie after she left. Are these two children more kids who Jodie believes Shona ‘failed to save?’
3. Something to do with the van
We still have no idea how Jodie ended up in that van in the Corriedale episode. And, just how she knows Graham Foster…
Did she commit a crime? Did she try to kidnap these girls? Or, was she the victim? Were these children linked to Graham in some way? Or, to her allegedly abusive partner? She’s got a fair few trinkets, but just who are these children?
4. Does the locket belong to the people she’s killed?
Another super creepy theory is that Jodie doesn’t actually know these children at all. But, she could’ve known the person the locket belonged to.
She’s clearly got some dark secrets, but could one involved killing somebody? Did she kill the owner of this locket? Are these their children? Did Jodie rob the youngsters of their parent and keep the locket as some sort of ‘trophy’ for her killing? Just how sinister is Jodie? And, should the Platts be worried?
The Guest on BBC One: Plot, episodes, location and start date of 'twisty edge of your seat thriller'
The always reliable Beeb has announced some very exciting news for fans of fast-paced nail-biters. It has commissioned "a brand-new propulsive thriller" written, created and executive produced by Matthew Barry. He's the man behind Men Up, and Industry.
And with Eve Myles at the front as leading lady, it's already looking like quite the hit. Here's an insider's guide to The Guest on BBC One, including plot, cast, start date, location, and episodes.
What's the plot of The Guest on BBC One?
The BBC One series was made in a co-commission with BBC Cymru Wales. They've described it as an "addictive, fast-paced story that centres on the toxic relationship between a successful business owner, Fran, and her employee, Ria".
Ria is a young woman who has never had the time or opportunity to think about what she might actually want from the world in the future. When she gets a job cleaning for Fran, she becomes drawn to her.
Fran comes across as a confident woman who has made a success of her life. She encourages Ria to take control of her life and the two start to form a friendship.
A synopsis adds: "However, when Fran's advice leads to a shocking event, the lives of these two very different women become intertwined by shared secrets and dangerous plots.
"What follows is a compelling and manipulative game of cat-and-mouse. But just who is playing who?"
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, said: "The Guest is a hugely entertaining, deftly-plotted thriller that will have viewers gripped."
How many episodes is it?
The Guest will consist of four episodes, which will air on BBC One and iPlayer.
Each episode will be one hour long. The channel has now confirmed that the series will land as a boxset on the day the first episode airs.
