A murder mystery is set to reach its dramatic conclusion, sending shockwaves through viewers and long-standing characters alike.
Coronation Street will finally reveal the identity of Theo Silverton’s killer next week in an explosive episode featuring a heated dinner party, violent confrontations, and game-changing flashbacks.
In tomorrow's hour-long episode, Sarah Platt invites Todd Grimshaw and Summer Spellman to dinner at her flat.
Kit Green, irritated that she forgot their date plans, insists Maria Connor and Gary Windass join the party too. Maria, still suspicious of an affair between Sarah and Gary, demands answers during the tense evening.

As emotions boil over, the dinner party descends into chaos, with harsh words exchanged, glasses are broken, and chairs overturned.
The conversation turns to Theo’s gruesome death, eventually leading to the long-awaited revelation.
Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Connor, said: "I feel like the viewers have been so patient with this whole whodunit storyline for months.
"I think they'll be incredibly excited to finally see who the murderer is.
"It will definitely have been worth the wait because I don't think many people suspect who actually did it."
Ms Longchambon said filming the "brilliant" episode felt like working on a separate play or spinoff drama due to the cast’s extended time together for a read-through and rehearsals.
Maria enters the dinner party looking for answers from her husband, but isn't satisfied with what she hears.
The storyline has raised questions about the future of Maria and Gary’s relationship.
Ms Longchambon said: "It's a lot to get through.
"If they can get through this, I feel like they can weather any storm.
"They've been through a lot of trials in their relationship already, but this is definitely the most challenging thing they've ever had to navigate."
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1.
