Theo can't cope with his guilt
Tamzin Meyer

In tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Tuesday, January 27), Carl Webster overheard Theo confess to leaving Billy Mayhew for dead.

As Theo quietly let his guilt spill out while alone with Billy’s coffin, he wasn’t aware that Carl had been standing just outside.

And, this moment is only just a taster of the tense atmosphere about to erupt at Billy’s funeral.

Carl Webster knows Theo Silverton’s deadly secret in Coronation Street

Tonight on the cobbles, Todd and Summer made final flower arrangements with Mary ahead of Billy’s funeral tomorrow. Theo also supported them having just arrived back from seeing him mum.

After this, Todd sat on the bench outside as was met by Debbie who wanted to give him £3000 for Billy’s funeral. Todd declined her kind gesture and told her that she wasn’t to blame for Billy’s death. He was. Theo’s manipulative words had finally gotten to him.

Theo then saw Debbie talking to Todd and demanded that she stayed away, with Carl Webster then rushing in to defend his sister (aka mum.) The pair then started a fight outside.

Later on, Theo headed to spend some time with Billy’s coffin at the undertaker’s as his guilt over leaving Billy for dead became too much for him.

He then apologised to Billy for not saving him, unaware that Carl Webster had been standing right outside the door and had overheard everything!

Coronation Street spoilers reveal Theo chaos at Billy’s funeral

This week, by the time the funeral begins, Theo is on edge, haunted by the fear his secret is no longer safe. He has no idea who was listening to his secret confession, but someone was.

When Todd struggles to deliver the eulogy, Theo steps forward, cloaking his own guilt by subtly redirecting blame.

Later, tensions erupt at the Rovers as Todd fumes over Theo’s behaviour.

Elsewhere, Bernie’s grief spills over into anger, wine, and self-destruction. Sorrow rarely stays silent for long.

Megan threatened Sam

With Leanne giving her freedom to decorate her room in the flat how she liked, Megan caught wind of where Sam would be after school.

At Speed Daal, Megan then told Sam that he needed to stop with his ridiculous ideas about her and Will. But, Sam wasn't afraid and instead told her that he always found what he was looking for in the end... and he wasn't just referring to his messy bedroom. Megan better watch out. Detective Sam is on the case.

Summer and Bernie had a plan for Paul's ashes

As Paul's ashes miraculously turned up right before Billy's funeral, Bernie told Summer that she reckoned that this was Paul's way of telling them he wanted to be with Billy for eternity. They then decided to reunite them together after Billy's funeral.
