Six official Coronation Street Theo murder suspects ranked from least to most likely to have killed

There are six official suspects in the line-up

Theo Silverton was killed off in Coronation Street last week, and now six official murder suspects have been revealed.

Christina, Todd, George, Gary, Danielle and Summer are all potential killers.

But, who could’ve killed Theo? We’ve ranked the six characters from least to most likely to have bumped the villain off.

1. Christina

Christina Boyd nipped out to collect Todd on the night of Theo’s death, leaving George in the house alone.

While she did return with Todd, it is possible that she bumbled Theo off first. Or, she and Todd did it together?

However, Christina really doesn’t strike us as the type to kill. And, she’s also not as close to Todd as George or Summer. The motive is there, but any concern in the murder investigation most likely comes out of worry for George than for herself being rumbled.

2. Todd

If anyone had motive to kill, it was Todd. While he was running away from Theo, it is possible he’d had enough of his abuse once and for all and decided to strike back. Perhaps he realised that he needed something else from his flat other than his phone and the acted in self defence.

When he went back to George’s place, Todd seemed rather secure enough to go upstairs to bed despite Theo still being on the run as far as he was aware. Suss? We’d been awake all night at the very thought.

However, even when Theo demanded that Todd finished him off with that knife just hours before, Todd couldn’t bring himself to kill him. If Todd was going to kill his husband, we think he would’ve done so there and then.

3. Danielle

Danielle’s a tricky one to place. While she disliked her husband for cheating on her and upping and leaving the family, she didn’t seem to bat an eyelid when Sarah brought up Theo’s abusive nature to her.

Theo’s ex-wife also didn’t appear in the murder week episodes, making her possibly go under the radar. But, there must be a reason she’s in this suspect line-up right? Perhaps she did have an encounter with Theo that night?!

How much do we really know about Danielle? Not too much. So, it’s possible she has a dark streak in her. But, then again, there are other characters who have shown more motive to kill.

4. Gary

Gary’s killed before so it is totally possible that he could do so again as part of some twisted social justice plot.

He already showed his huge anger towards Theo when he smashed up his van on the night of his death… talk about motive! And, that was caught on CCTV.

Whether he then caught up with Theo and had some sort of showdown though is another thing. He’s not at the very top of our list, but he’s close!

5. George

George is looking pretty dodgy right now. He was left alone while Christina went to fetch Todd, and admitted to going on a walk by himself. Where to? Hmmm…

He also had blood on his sweater which he insisted was from his earlier scuffle. Possibly so. But, we know George would do anything for Todd. They’re practically family.

The evidence so far is pointing to George, but there’s one other person who we should all be looking at.

6. Summer

Summer Spellman’s lost three of her dads. And one of those was Billy – who died thanks to Theo. With Theo also abusing her other dad Todd, Summer would rightly want her revenge.

She was also the last person viewers saw with Theo while in the flat before his dead. While someone else could’ve popped in and intervened, Summer seems the most likely person to have killed Theo.

Theo recently threatened to have her ‘buried’ just like Billy. So, did she set out to make sure Theo was ‘buried’ first?
