Coronation Street has just released a fresh new promo for next week’s episode as it ‘whittles down’ the Theo murder suspects.

After Theo’s murder in April, six official Coronation Street suspects were named. But, now, only three of those appear at the big dinner party that’s set to expose the truth.

So, does this mean that three of the original suspects have been removed from the running? Or, is the dinner party promo one huge red herring?

Coronation Street set to air huge Theo murderer reveal

A Coronation Street dinner party is set to spiral into complete chaos next week, as what should be a simple evening on the cobbles quickly turns into a night packed with tension, accusations and long-held secrets finally spilling over.

As guests gather, the mood soon shifts from polite small talk to growing suspicion, with old grievances resurfacing and relationships pushed firmly to breaking point. Before long, the carefully arranged evening starts to collapse under the weight of what everyone is hiding.

The drama builds towards the biggest question of all – who killed Theo Silverton.

Flashbacks will take viewers back to the night in April when Theo’s body was discovered, slowly revealing the events that led up to his death and tightening the net around those involved.

The situation is set in motion when Kit learns Sarah has invited Todd and Summer for dinner. Not missing a chance to stir things, he expands the guest list. He brings Maria and Gary into the mix and ensuring trouble is inevitable.

Coronation Street fans ‘rule out’ three Theo murder suspects

Coronation Street spoilers have included an important detail about the episode, teasing that someone sitting at the dinner party table has ‘blood on their hands.’

This has led fans to use this as a huge ‘clue’ that ‘rules out’ three of the official suspects. The original police suspects were Christina, Summer, Gary, Todd, Danielle and George.

However, Christina, Danielle and George aren’t present at the dinner party as far as the promo suggests. So, now fans believe that either Summer, Todd or Gary bumped the abusive villain off

Taking to social media, one person wrote: “Does it [the new trailer] rule out George and Christina as the killer? It seems that way but we never know I suppose.”

Another fan also contributed: “Dani too maybe?”

A third shared: “Well Christina has a storyline coming up so I doubt she is going to jail if that’s the case lol, and having George as the killer when he has been one of the best additions in recent years would have been insane so I’m glad it’s looking like it’s not him!

“Also I really don’t buy into Danielle or her son being the killer as it would be such a flop after all this build up in my opinion!”

But, who really killed Theo? Is the promo an attempt to throw fans off the scent?
