Theo has a lot of enemies

Theo Silverton is a possible flashforward murder victim in Coronation Street, but who could go ahead and kill him?

The villain has a lot of enemies on the cobbles right now, and they all want to make him pay in some way.

Here are eight most likely suspects should Theo be bumped off.

1. Gary

Gary Windass has killed before, and something tells us that he’d happily do it again in some sort of social justice quest. He’s now one of our most likely culprits.

Theo was once his ‘best mate’ but things have now changed. Gary’s uncovered the villain’s true colours and has sent him packing from his job at the builder’s yard.

But, Theo hasn’t really been affected by Gary’s warning.

Gary’s now gone as far as smashing up Theo’s van, desperate to make him pay for what he’s done. But, if the message isn’t received, will the killer have to step in and make things clear to him another way?

2. Danielle

Danielle Silverton returned to the cobbles recently as Sarah Platt summoned her to discuss Theo.

Theo’s seething ex-wife was soon quizzed on her relationship with Theo, with Sarah wanting to know whether he was ever abusive towards her.

Danielle’s not Theo’s biggest fan after being cheated on, and also blames Theo for the death of her new partner Noah. But, will she strike back and get her revenge in the most extreme of ways?

3. Summer

Summer’s got good reason to dislike Theo. Now realising that he’s been abusive towards dad Todd, she also found out that Theo was responsible for other dad Billy’s death in the Corriedale crash.

With Todd being the only family she has left, she’ll be wanting to do everything to protect him. And, let’s not forget that Theo even threatened to bump off Summer herself.

She was desperate to get revenge on Theo by planning on throwing a brick at his van tonight. But, could seemingly innocent and bubbly Summer turn so dark and twisted that she kills him?

4. George

George is the person who caught onto Todd’s ‘lack of sparkle’ the quickest and realised that something was wrong.

Todd hasn’t opened up to him and has even pushed him away, yet George won’t stop fighting until Todd is safe.

Being an undertaker, he knows a thing or two about death, but he doesn’t usually bump off his clients before burying them. Could things change?

5. Christina

Christina and George come as a team. Seeing how much George cares for Todd and is being affected by Theo’s treatment of him could possibly make her do the unthinkable and take drastic action to put that smile back on George’s face. Dark, but nothing can be ruled out in the world of soap.

6. Sarah

Sarah’s been friends with Todd for years and years and views him like family. She helped Kylie cover up Callum’s death in the past, so we reckon she could have a murder in her if it really came to it…

7. Carl

Carl Webster knows a huge secret of Theo’s – that he was responsible for Billy’s death. He also got on his bad side after ruining Theo’s chance at reconnecting with son Miles.

With their feud bubbling away, we know villain vs villain fights never end well for someone. Could Carl be the one who comes out on top?

8. Todd

Todd seems like one of the most obvious choices considering that he was the last person seen interacting with Theo tonight. So, should Theo die, Todd might go to extreme lengths to escape him for good.

With the amount of abuse Theo’s given him, what could be the final straw? Will Todd finally crack and stand up to Theo once and for all? Could he bump Theo off and escape him good and proper this time?
