Once DS Connor-Swain had taken Summer to the police station, Sarah soon got wind of the latest update and questioned why Summer had been arrested if there was no evidence against her. With Sarah also acting different to usual recently, a new fan theory has ‘worked out’ the reason why. Summer was arrested (Credit: ITV) Summer’s arrest in Coronation Street Tonight in Weatherfield, Summer got far more than a bacon butty when she wandered into Roy’s Rolls and accidentally overheard George and Christina gossiping about her latest drama. The pair admitted things were looking pretty grim for Summer, especially now the police knew she’d lied about where she was on the night Theo died. Still, despite all the suspicion swirling around, George and Christina insisted they believed she wasn’t actually capable of murder.

Within minutes, she’d decided the answer was a one-way ticket to America. Easy, right? Todd tried to calm her down, but emotions quickly boiled over. Summer confessed she’d seen Theo on the night he died. She feared that she might’ve been the last person to see him alive. Apart from the killer. She then unleashed her anger on Todd, blaming him for bringing Theo into their lives in the first place. After a tearful apology, Todd rushed to help her flee – only for DS Connor-Swain to swoop in and arrest Summer before they could even leave the Street. Awkward timing… especially as Todd had no clue George had already tipped off the police about where Summer was on the night of the murder.Don't miss a single story!

Sarah being acting different recently (Credit: ITV) Coronation Street fan theory predicts Sarah killed Theo Silverton Also tonight, Sarah was lashing out at everyone at work. Carla had to delegate some of her work over to Michael as it was clear that Sarah wasn’t coping. She hadn’t been her usual self ever since the attack (that happened on the night of Theo’s murder), and felt unsafe with Kit being away on a secondment. Since Jodie knocked her out, she’s been turning to drink and struggling to control her emotions. But, she’s also been really concerned whenever a new Theo murder suspect is gossiped about – whether that be Gary or Summer. But, how could Sarah be so sure that neither committed the crime? On the night of Theo’s murder, Sarah got knocked out. But, where was she between leaving the wedding and returning to the Platts? Did she kill Theo in between? We all know how close she is to Todd. Did she try to protect him and now she’s dealing with major guilt? A fan theory online suggested: “As it’s been announced that it will be a shock who the killer, is it possible that Sarah did it before Jodie knocked her out? She’s very protective of Todd and I’m not convinced that she’d be as jumpy as she is simply because of her being attacked.” Is this the true reason as to why Sarah’s been acting so differently ever since that night? What else happened in Coronation Street tonight? Susie found out the truth Will Driscoll wasn't in the mood for Ben's grand plan of a family holiday.
