Fans spot clue Coronation Street villain will DIE in grisly soap week amid two whodunnit plot lines
CORONATION Street fans have noticed a huge giveaway clue that one major villain will DIE during the show’s epic late night soap week.
The ITV soap has famously gone all out for a week of post-watershed episodes in May every year.
The scheduling change comes as a result of the Britain’s Got Talent semi-final week airing between 7;30pm and 10pm with a 30 minute slot at 9pm for an episode of Corrie.
In the past, the soap has pushed the boundaries and has often seen the closing of long-running stories take effect during the epic week.
Whilst in very recent years, focus has shifted toward ITV’s Super Soap Week in October, Coronation Street fans think they have rumbled bosses plans for the BGT week and it seems that they are planning to ramp things back up once again.
Their theories all centre on Sarah Platt and a cryptic quote she made during the show’s latest episode.
Viewers have taken her comments about the evil Nathan Curtis as a foreshadowing clue that he will be killed off.
In the episode, Sarah could be seen chatting to her ex Gary about Bethany’s fears that Nathan Curtis could be behind Lauren Bolton’s diappearance.
Nathan famously groomed Bethany as part of a harrowing storyline and he is now back in Weatherfield wreaking havoc once more following his release from prison.
Discussing her hatred for Nathan, Sarah made a very telling comment which appeared to seal the villain’s fate.
She said to Gary: “Honestly… I could kill him!”
Her words have been taken as a prediction for the big week of episodes with one fan declaring: “So Nathan is [100%] gonna die in Britain’s Got Talent final week.”
Someone added in response: “Good, maybe he can take a few more with him!”
Whilst it has not yet been ascertained how long Nathan will be sticking around on the cobbles, he has already been in grave danger once after being attacked by a hooded assailnt.
Someone clubbed Nathan over the head leaving him with injuries that required hospital attention.
A number of Corrie favourites have found themselves in the frame including David Platt, Daniel Osborne, Ryan Connor and Gary Windass.
The whodunnit plot is now running alongside a second longer-running story involving who took Lauren Bolton.
