Coronation Street’s Summer becomes prime Theo murder suspect after two huge ITVX episode twists

The evidence points to Summer

In today’s early ITVX episode of Coronation Street (Monday, May 18), evidence was found that suggested Summer could’ve killed Theo.

If a journal discovery wasn’t enough to put Summer in the frame, a photo from Lisa and Carla’s wedding solidified Summer as a new suspect.

Now, it’s only a matter of time before Lisa and Kit bring Summer in for questioning.

George discovers Summer’s journal entry in Coronation Street

Today on the cobbles, Christina was busy doing some tapestry work but George wasn’t ready to find a new hobby just yet. Instead, he took up to tidying and found Summer’s things on the floor.

Her journal dropped open to a page that George happened to glance at – and it was very telling. Summer wrote about wanting to pull a gun to Theo’s head and make him pay.

Worried, George then showed it to Christina just as Summer walked in and found the pair snooping at her things.

Confiding in Todd, Summer then rushed to burn her journal in a fire so that anything that looked like evidence would be destroyed.

But, George and Christina found Summer in action and wanted to know why she was burning the journal if she had nothing to hide.

Summer was horrified that they’d accuse her of wanting to flee to America because she might’ve killed Theo. She couldn’t believe that her friends would accuse her of murder.

Police find more evidence that makes Summer a prime suspect in Theo murder case

If this wasn’t looking bad enough for Summer, the next piece of evidence that the police found made things much worse.

At the station, Lisa printed off some wedding photos and wanted to show them to Kit. Kit reluctantly looked through them before stopping on one specific photo.

He then recognised the brooch that was found in Todd and Theo’s flat. Someone at the wedding was wearing it.

Lisa then grabbed the photo and popped it on the evidence board. And, the person wearing it was Summer.

But, does all this point to Summer being the one to kill Theo? Did she do it?
