The drama has barely cooled down when ITV drops another bombshell: a big character on Coronation Street will be threatened with death next week!

The source revealed that this character used to be a mainstay, closely connected to Todd, Becky and Carla – leaving fans guessing all over the forum.

Some believe it is Carla Connor, who is being threatened by Carl Webster.

The teaser scene shows a dark figure holding a sharp object following her at night.

Theories are running wild: some think this is a “fake death” to fool the audience, others claim there will be a real attack that will send someone to the hospital. The Coronation Street writers are famous for “dropping bait” – creating a sense of unease that lasts all week.

What excites the audience is the way the show cleverly weaves personal tragedy and criminal plot. Who will fall? Who’s behind it all? And is Corrie gearing up for its darkest arc in years?
