Shock murder twist amid abuse reveal as Coronation Street spoilers reveal what happens next
Discoveries were made
Lucy Parkinson (Anya Dewin) finally found out the truth about Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) in Coronation Street this evening, as Christina made a shocking discovery of her own.
Christina has been hiding the fact that she is Lucy’s biological grandmother, but tonight, a major misstep saw Lucy uncover the truth.
Having had daughter Rachel adopted at just a few months old, Christina was stunned to learn of her murder and the fact that she’d had a daughter. Christina has been keeping a photo of her late daughter in a keyring, which she clumsily dropped for Lucy to find.
The mistake happened after Christina made a devastating discovery while watching a video on Lucy’s phone.
She later told George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) that she’d seen Rachel’s husband Richie whisper something in Rachel’s ear in the back of the clip and had watched Rachel’s face drop.
Heartbreakingly, she explained that it reminded her of Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) during his ordeal with Theo Silverton. She then confessed that there was no doubt in her mind that Richie was guilty of Rachel’s murder.

Come Monday, Christina continues to worry about what happened to Rachel, convinced that Richie is guilty of her murder, but George advises her to let the police investigate.

Also, Marco Rhodes (William Teasdale) plays down a gash on his arm, but Gary Windass (Mikey North) is suspicious.
Later, when Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) arrives for a visit, she is told that Marco is refusing to leave his cell. Gary begins to fear Marco is being bullied, but Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) begs him not to get involved.
Back on the cobbles, Summer finds Ross Wilkes (Ian Burfield) in the Rovers and is grateful when he says he will keep an eye on Marco. Ross tells Marco he’s put his name down for a cleaning job to keep him occupied. Later, Ross finds Marco alone in his cell. What does he want?
