A death has been teased

Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks has revealed that a death flashforward will soon air on our screens.

And, there will be five potential victims on the list…

Here are 11 huge fan theories on the characters who could be at risk.

1. Carl

Carl Webster isn’t a very popular guy on the cobbles right now. Tyrone didn’t even want to look at him after realising that he was the one behind his hit and run and injuries.

Kevin also can’t stand to be around his half-brother after realising that he’d planned to do a runner with Debbie’s money. And, to add to this, he even framed Debbie for the Corriedale crash so that he wouldn’t get the blame. And, poor Debbie’s now in prison for it.

A lot of people want Carl gone. But, could one of these people finish him off?

One fan suggested: “If it’s Carl who gets murdered.  The five suspects in question are Kevin, Abi, Ronnie, Tracy and Tyrone.”

Coronation Street flashforward 2. Theo

The same fan also said: “Or if it’s Theo, it’s gotta be Todd, Summer, Bernie, Gary and George.”

Billy Mayhew was the only person who knew the truth about Theo’s abuse of Todd. Now that Theo failed to save him in the crash and watched him die in the burning minibus, his secret is safe.

But, secrets always have a habit of coming out in Soapland. When it does, Theo will be the Street’s No.1 enemy. Will someone serve him his comeuppance though?

A Corrie fan on social media said: “I can see Theo getting the fatal push down the stairs by Todd when he reveals what he did to Billy.”

3. Megan

Megan Walsh is grooming teen Will Driscoll. But, she has no idea that Will has a killer in the family – Maggie. Will himself has also proven to have a violent streak — attacking Daniel on Christmas Day.

While nobody knows about Megan and Will’s relationship (bar suspicions from Sam), she’s playing a dangerous game. Will she soon pay the price?

A fan wondered: “If it’s Megan, it’s gotta be Ben, Eva, Will, Lauren and Maggie.”

Coronation Street flashfoward 4. Kevin

Poor Kevin’s had a hard time recently after his cheating wife Abi left him for his half-brother Carl. We know, right?!

And, then, Kevin found out all about Carl’s dodgy dealings, hit and run of Ty, and his attempt to frame Debbie. Yet, nobody believed him.

But, every hero has to face a villain to bring them down. What if the villain beats them to it though?

One person wrote: “Carl murders Kevin is my guess. So he makes his control over Debbie even stronger.”

Could Carl bump off Kev?

5. Summer

Summer’s lost three of her dads over the years, with the latest being Billy Mayhew.

She’s had a lot to deal with at such a young age, and misery seems to follow her. Could it strike once again but this time finish her off?

One fan morbidly joked: “Summer would be funny, full family knockout.”

Coronation Street flashforward 6. Lauren

Lauren’s already been part of two murder whodunnits (one her own although it turned out she never actually died). The second was that of Joel Deering’s. It’s a stretch, but could she be involved in a third? And, could she be the victim once more? For real, this time?

One fan on Reddit feared: “If Lauren does get murdered for real this time it will bring heartbreak but I hope she survives and takes care of Frankie forever.”

7. Cassie

With Claire Sweeney leaving the cobbles as Cassie Plummer soon, and being reported to have an ‘explosive exit,’ we’re throwing Cassie into the mix of possible victims.

At the moment it’s currently unclear how Cassie could end up dead as she doesn’t have many enemies at the moment (other than Tracy).

But, then again, it could all just be a matter of wrong place, wrong time. One things is for certain, Cassie is leaving. But, whether she’ll end up in a body bag is another matter.

8. Tracy

Tracy Barlow was a big candidate for dying in the Corriedale crossover. After several references to a future Tracy death were made by Cassie, many fans (and us too) were left fearing for Tracy’s future.

But, she survived. However, with a deadly flashforward on the way, were those death references a tad premature? Could they have foreshadowed Tracy’s death in April instead?

9. Daniel

Daniel’s already been attacked and left for dead by Will Driscoll once but, as long as he’s dating Megan, he remains a huge threat for the jealous teen.

Will can’t stand to see Megan cosying up to Daniel right in front of his nose, but how far will his vendetta against him go? Could he strike again and end up killing him this time?

Shona concerned in Coronation Street

10. Shona

Shona’s half-sister Jodie Ramsey recently arrived onto the Street and has wasted no time in making Shona’s family her own. She’s keeping a fair few dark secrets though, and has started to show a few of her true colours to viewers.

Wanting Shona’s life, Jodie’s about to attempt to get her claws into David. But, will she bump off Shona so that she’s free to take her man?

11. Sam

Young Sam Blakeman is playing a dangerous game when it comes to Megan Walsh. He’s made it clear that he’s onto her and Will but she’s tried to get him to back off with some serious threats.

Setting up a hidden camera to expose the couple once and for all, will Sam get the evidence he needs? Or, will Will and Megan silence him to keep their secret relationship in tact?
