Suspicion has fallen on Gary Windass as Theo Silverton’s killer in Coronation Street, and more damning evidence has been revealed. Summer Spellman and George Shuttleworth are also in the frame for murder after Theo’s body was discovered in the wake of Carla Connor and Lisa Swain’s wedding.
Yesterday’s episode saw Gary delete some CCTV footage from the day of the murder that showed him vandalising Theo’s van ahead of his death.
In today’s episode, now streaming on ITVX and airing on ITV at 8.30pm, Gary’s wife Maria demands to know what is going on with him after he seemed “so wound up” after Theo died, urging him that if he has something to tell her, he needs to, and that she always has his back.
Maria outright asks Gary if he murdered Theo, to which he says he did something stupid and admits to damaging the van. He says that no one saw him, but does he know that for certain?
Later, Gary is interrogated by Lisa and Kit Green, who ask about his whereabouts on the day of the murder as well as demanding the CCTV footage from his yard.Gary says that the footage automatically wipes at the end of the day, but Lisa and Kit say that their tech guy should hopefully be able to retrieve it for them anyway.
Maria speaks to Sarah Platt about her worries when Lisa arrives and explains she has taken Gary in for questioning, and would like to speak to her too.
