Coronation Street Murder Mystery Deepens After Jonathan Howard’s On-Air Bruising and Hints

The victim’s identity remains unconfirmed even as filming for the fatal episode takes place this week.

Overview

  • Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl Webster, appeared on ITV’s This Morning with visible make-up bruising and said things are “going to get pretty bad” for his character.
  • Soap reporter Sharon Marshall, broadcasting from the Rovers Return set, said scenes are being filmed this week in which “someone will go and meet their maker.”
  • Betting markets currently make Carl the favourite to be killed at 4/5, with Megan Walsh at 3/1, Theo Silverton at 5/1, Maggie Driscoll at 9/1 and Jodie Ramsey at 20/1.
  • Viewers noted Howard briefly spoke about his time on the show in the past tense, reading it as a possible slip-up, though others suggested it could be a deliberate tease.
  • A recent flashforward named five potential victims and pointed to a death around April, but the show has not confirmed who dies.
