Coronation Street trailer released ahead of flash-forward murder reveal

Published by Daniella Wilson

A dramatic week on the cobbles is fast approaching in Coronation Street, with a stylistic new trailer showing the five potential murder victims walking towards George Shuttleworth’s (Tony Maudsley) funeral parlour. The countdown is on, and it won’t be long before we find out who meets their maker in the aftermath of Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain’s (Vicky Myers) wedding day. As viewers will recall, the latest non-linear storytelling device saw one episode in February flash-forward to April, and the point in which Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) discovered a body. She told Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) that she knew the victim – meaning that one of her neighbours had met with the Grim Reaper. Paedophile Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon), meddling grandmother Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn), abusive Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), enigma Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) and scheming Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) were revealed as those at risk, but who will die?
