Coronation Street Theory Hints Theo Silverton Is Being Set Up as the Next Murderer

Theo shows signs of something more menacing

A new Coronation Street fan theory suggests that Theo Silverton might be the next killer to emerge on the ITV soap.

Viewers have already raised red flags about his potentially controlling behavior toward Todd Grimshaw.

Now, growing fears among fans suggest that Theo’s darker tendencies could ultimately lead him to commit murder.

Coronation Street: Theo Silverton’s Dark Side Emerges

Theo Silverton, currently in a relationship with Todd Grimshaw, has been grappling with his own identity — all while trying to maintain harmony between Todd and his daughter, Millie.

However, fans have started to pick up on some troubling signs. Theo’s mood swings, cutting remarks, and flashes of aggression have raised serious concerns about what he might be capable of.

Tension escalated recently when Todd switched Theo’s phone to airplane mode. Rather than brushing it off, Theo snapped back with harsh words, making it clear he didn’t take the action lightly.

More recently, things took another turn when Theo witnessed personal trainer — and ex-Weatherfield County footballer — James trying to kiss Todd. Though Todd rejected the advance, Theo quickly confronted James, delivering a stern warning to stay away from his boyfriend.

Now, viewers are asking: just how far is Theo willing to go to keep Todd all to himself?

Coronation Street Fans Predict Chilling Killer Twist for Theo

After noticing disturbing behavior from Theo Silverton, Coronation Street viewers are starting to worry that he might end up killing someone.

The most recent murderer on the cobbles was Mick Michaelis, who shockingly took the life of PC Craig Tinker not long ago. Now, speculation is building that Theo could be next in line for the killer role.

One fan on X posted: “Finally caught up on Corrie! Looks like they’re leaning into a narcissist/abuser storyline with Theo. I also saw someone suggest he could be the next killer on the Street!”

Another viewer chimed in: “I’ve got a feeling Theo’s going to be the next murderer on’t cobbles.”

A third added: “Theo seems like he’s being set up to become the next serial killer, if you ask me.”

But if the theory holds true—who’s in danger? Could it be James?
