Three Massive Coronation Street Theories: Shocking Twists Await Weatherfield Residents

1. Beloved Resident Turns Fugitive

The death of serial killer Stephen Reid has left Weatherfield residents in shock and the police are on the case. But what conclusion will they reach? Here's what we could expect to unravel on Coronation Street.

Todd Boyce, who played Stephen Reid, bowed out of the ITV soap on Friday, October 13, after his character met a horrific fate and was killed off. The police have their sights on multiple suspects for Stephen Reid's death, including Carla Connor, Sarah Platt, and Michael Bailey. However, this week, one long-standing resident manages to catch all of their attention.

In a dramatic turn of events, Audrey Roberts is in denial about the extent of Stephen's villainy and accuses Peter Barlow of killing her son. Peter admits that he was only protecting Jenny Connor after Stephen threatened her life. Peter maintains his innocence, but the police arrest him on suspicion of murder. Will he be able to prove his innocence or will he go on the run to escape justice?

2. Shock Affair Rocks the Cobbles

Sparks continue to fly between Daisy Midgeley and Ryan Connor, despite Daisy being engaged to Daniel Osbourne. After Ryan saved Daisy from an acid attack, the pair have been harboring complicated feelings for each other. This week, their attraction becomes impossible to hide, and another Weatherfield resident decides to take advantage of the situation.

Lauren Bolton, who is living with Ryan after leaving Carla Connor and Peter Barlow's home, realizes the truth about Daisy and Ryan's connection. Meanwhile, Ryan is struggling with his steroids abuse and confides in Daisy. As their relationship intensifies, viewers are left wondering if Daisy will embark on an affair with Ryan. But when Lauren blackmails Ryan for money, things take a complicated turn.

Newcomer Keeps Secrets

Ed Bailey's building project is put on hold when Leo Thompkins' remains are found on their site, leaving Ed and his daughter Dee-Dee struggling financially. Dee-Dee notices her father's lack of interest in her new boyfriend, Joel Deering. However, when Dee-Dee discovers a credit card addressed to Norris Cole, who passed away in 2021, she makes a shocking discovery about her father.

Dee-Dee later introduces Joel to her father over lunch, unaware that both men have had encounters with the same credit card company. As Ed's money woes continue, some fans believe that Joel may be hiding something and could get involved in Ed's troubles before turning his back on him.
