Todd and Gary hide a huge secret after Theo’s murder in Coronation Street – and Kit is on to them

Attention remained on Gary Windass (Mikey North) in tonight’s Coronation Street, as Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwright) murder investigation continued.

After DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) told Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) about Theo being killed, she decided to make George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) her first suspect.

Lisa was suspicious about George’s movements because she had found a shirt belonging to him with Theo’s blood on. George also failed to immediately tell Lisa about the walk he went on the night Theo died, fuelling her concern that he might be hiding something else.

George was let go due to lack of evidence to prove the theory that he’s the killer. Lisa and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) then decided to take Gary in for questioning.

The detectives asked Gary about where he was the night Theo died because they used to be friends, and that he also had to keep his temper in check after learning about him abusing Todd.

Gary revealed in his interview that the CCTV footage from the builder’s yard deletes itself after a week, which meant Kit and Lisa couldn’t access potentially very important evidence.

In reality, Gary deleted it himself because the CCTV camera caught him smashing up Theo’s van.

He was then released to Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) providing an alibi for him. While Gary thought he was in the clear, the soap confirmed that he may fall under the spotlight in the near future, due to a picture catching him walking the cobbles alone on the night in question.

In this evening’s episode, Todd struggled with his overwhelming emotions following Theo’s death. He explained in a chat with Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) and then later Theo’s ex Danielle (Natalie Anderson) that sometimes he feels genuine sadness at Theo’s demise, but then moments later he feels relief.

He doesn’t really know how to feel, and it’s made even worse by the fact Lisa and Kit are keeping a watchful eye over him.

Todd paid a visit to Gary and, in an attempt to find answers himself, asked outright if he killed Theo. Gary said no, but Todd had reason to feel suspicious due to them previously having an agreement to ‘scare Theo off’.

Gary confirmed that the only thing he did was smash up Theo’s van, but Todd wondered if he was lying. Secrets are kept so easily on this street, which prompted Gary to point out that Todd could be the one hiding a murderous secret.

As they clashed, neither spotted Kit in the background, clearly curious.

Will this push Kit closer to the truth?

Or is he looking in the wrong direction?
