Shaken, Todd made his way to a nearby phone box and rang for help. With George having had a drink, it was Christina who went to pick him up. Later, at the undertaker’s, George was caught off guard when he discovered Christina holding his bloodstained sweater from that night. She pointed out that things didn’t look good, especially with a murder investigation now underway.

At the station, George faced questioning with Adam Barlow by his side. He insisted the blood on his jumper came from his earlier altercation with Theo – an incident he and Todd had already reported to Kit. George went on to explain that he’d spent part of the evening at the Rovers with Christina and Summer, even seeing Todd off in a taxi. When Todd later called for help, George claimed he stayed home while Christina went out. However, he admitted he’d taken a walk later to clear his head after everything that had happened that day. With gaps in his story and the evidence stacking up against him, George has now become the police’s main suspect. But is he really responsible for Theo’s death, or is there more to the story? Gary’s a new focus for the police (Credit: ITV) Police name more suspects in Coronation Street spoilers In Coronation Street spoilers for next week, the police turn their attention towards other suspects. Gary isn’t exactly helping his own case at the moment. Back at the station, Kit and Lisa soon realise that his alibi doesn’t quite stack up – pushing him straight to the top of their suspect list. The pressure builds further when officers head over to the builder’s yard, taking a closer look at anything that could be linked to the case… including those key scaffolding poles. And just when Gary might’ve hoped the heat was easing, it’s quite the opposite. With deleted CCTV footage unable to be recovered, Lisa admits the investigation has hit a setback. But Kit makes it clear he’s not backing down, openly signalling on the Street that Gary is still very much his number one suspect. Over at the Rovers, Todd struggles to keep his emotions in check, glaring across the room at Kit and Lisa. It doesn’t go unnoticed either – Lisa picks up on the atmosphere straight away, but takes it as a sign that Todd’s feeling the pressure of guilt rather than pure frustration. Does this mean that George is off the hook? Who killed Theo? What else happened in Coronation Street tonight? Jodie's blood caused a stir David opened up to Shona and told her that he'd kissed Jodie thinking that she was Shona. Kit then turned up and informed the couple that Jodie's blood was found in the house when they were looking into Sarah's case. Shona reckoned that whoever hurt Sarah must've taken Jodie too. Melanie found out about the baby Maggie told Melanie that they all needed to be there for Will right now. She then revealed that Megan had aborted Will's baby. This just gave Melanie for reason for why Will should move away from Weatherfield with her. Ronnie's secret Ronnie continued to keep the truth about what happened to Carl a secret from Debbie. But, she could sense that something wasn't right.
