Coronation Street was already tense, but in the latest episode, the drama really exploded when a surprise attack occurred, sending the whole street into panic.

The victim was confirmed as Theo Grimshaw, who was found unconscious near the alley behind the Rovers Return Inn – and more importantly, his phone was missing.

According to police, there were signs of a struggle at the scene.

A bracelet was found nearby – which viewers keenly recognised belonged to… Bethany Platt.

As the news spread, the whole street exploded with rumours. Some said Bethany lost control during the argument, others believed she was being set up.

Todd appeared at the hospital, his face filled with despair as he saw his son lying on the bed, hooked up to IV lines. The scene goes silent as he says quietly:

“If I hadn’t suspected you… this wouldn’t have happened.”

A crucial detail revealed in the police file: before the attack, Theo called an unknown number at 22:47 – but the call lasted less than 10 seconds.

What’s more frightening is that the last person to appear near the scene was Craig Tinker, a young police officer who had a grudge against Todd over an old case. Craig claimed he was just “passing by”, but his evasive statement made everyone question it.

In another scene, Bethany went to the police station, handed in a bracelet identical to the one at the scene and said:

“I know who did it. But if I tell, more people will die.”

The statement made not only the police but also the audience shudder. Was Theo’s attacker someone they knew? Or was this the first step in a long series of revenge that Todd didn’t expect?
