Coronation Street fans rumble Tyrone Dobbs’ secret after Summer Spellman twist
It came as he failed to help Summer Spellman with her alibi from the night of Theo Silverton’s murder in the ITV soap
As viewers of the ITV soap know, the abuser was revealed as the victim of the murder, which was first revealed would rock the cobbles back in February.
At the time, an episode featuring a flashforward confirmed that a shocking crime would occur on the cobbles, with Betsy Swain making the deadly discovery, on the night of her mum Lisa Swain’s wedding to Carla Connor.

It was also confirmed in the episode aired earlier this year that it would either be Theo, Carl Webster, Jodie Ramsey, Megan Walsh or Maggie Driscoll, whose lifeless body she would stumble across, as viewers saw how their behaviours could lead to them being in mortal peril.
While Lisa and Carla’s wedding took place on April 23, it wasn’t until a week later, on May 1, after an episode of the soap was dedicated to each possible victim, that a horrified Betsy was seen discovering Theo dead, which came after he was seen giving chase to his partner, Todd, who was trying to escape him and leave for Thailand, as well as sinisterly confronting Summer Spellman.
After the reveal, Corrie unveiled who was in frame for Theo’s murder, with Todd, Summer, George Shuttleworth, and Christina Boyd being questioned, while Gary Windass and Theo’s ex-wife, Danielle Silverton, could also be guilty of Theo’s demise as DS Lisa Connor-Swain and DC Kit Green lead the investigation.
This week, all eyes have been on Summer. As George tidied up at No.11, he accidentally knocked over her bag. Picking up the contents, George found Summer’s journal, and while Christina told him not to pry, he was left horrified to see some of Summer’s notes, as she described putting a gun to Theo’s head.

Curiosity then got the cat, as George and Christina were soon seen settling down on the sofa to read Summer’s dark thoughts, all with a pick n mix in hand. But they were soon startled by Summer’s sudden return, who was furious to find them reading through her journal, before storming out.
She was later seen burning the book, fearful it would make her seem like she had murdered Theo, but she was later taken in for questioning by Lisa after her wedding photos revealed her as wearing the brooch, which was found in Theo and Todd’s flat, covered in blood.
After being questioned by Lisa, Summer lied about seeing Theo on the night of his death and was let go. But it was then revealed that George had spotted her rushing down the cobbles from the direction of the flat on the night of Theo’s murder, with Christina encouraging him to tell the police what he saw.
It then led to Summer being picked up by Lisa again during Thursday’s (May 21) episode, with George and Christina keeping quiet about their role to play as Todd despaired. It was then in Friday’s (May 22) Corrie that Summer was seen being questioned and shared the truth about seeing Theo’s before he was found dead.
Summer inisted she wasn’t the one who killed Theo, and remembered that when she left Todd and Theo’s flat, she saw Tyrone, who also saw Theo alive from the window. When Lisa went to verify Summer’s versions of events, Tyrone said she was wrong. When pushed, he claimed: “There’s nothing to tell and I wouldn’t lie about something like that.”

But a flashback sequence confirmed that Tyrone was lying, and that he did see Summer leaving the flat, and seeing Theo alive at the time. It has led Corrie fans to share their theory as to why the mechanic isn’t telling the truth, leaving Summer to face charged for Theo’s murder.
@EileenCumi28050 said: “Tyrone is lying. Collaborating Summer’s story would mean implicating himself in the attack on Carl. #corrie.” @thechanelbootss commented: “omds tyrone lying…. he’s definitely the one who squashed carl under that car.” @DrSwarla2025 wrote: “What is Tyrone hiding ? Think he is the one that dropped the car on Carl that night. #corrie.”
@LadyReignFC posted: “It’s not like Summer’s just being questioned like George. If Tyrone doesn’t come forward when he hears & let’s Summer go to prison, I’ll be very disappointed in him. He can always lie about dropping the car on Carl & Carl didn’t press charges. #corrie.” @swoosh286 added: “I think Tyrone was the one who dropped the car down on Carl that night!”
