Tonight’s Coronation Street (Wednesday, January 28) delivered some seriously dark moments as Carl Webster and Theo Silverton went head-to-head with chilling threats – all unfolding against the backdrop of Billy’s funeral.
The gloves were well and truly off as Carl hinted he could expose Theo for leaving Billy to die. But Theo wasn’t about to take that lying down and fired back with a threat of his own – one that could blow Carl’s life apart.

Carl and Theo at war in Coronation Street
Just moments before Billy was laid to rest, Theo was hit with a devastating revelation. Carl confirmed that the confession whispered in the undertakers hadn’t gone unheard after all. While forgiveness from Billy was suggested, it quickly became clear that Todd wouldn’t be so understanding. With his secret no longer safely buried, Theo’s guilt weighed heavier than ever.
During the service itself, Todd was asked to deliver the eulogy but found himself unable to continue through his grief. Theo stepped in, subtly steering the narrative in a very different direction. Responsibility was quietly nudged towards Todd, with the suggestion that Billy’s death might have been avoided. A carefully vague expression of regret followed from Theo, and, still unaware of the full truth, Todd offered his forgiveness.
Elsewhere, Ryan was left injured after being attacked in a hotel robbery, with the thieves making a quick escape. Carl appeared to play the hero, stepping in as a rescuer – but it later emerged the entire crime had been orchestrated by him. Crucially, Theo secretly obtained photographic proof.
That evidence shifted the balance of power. A deal was made. Carl was warned to stay silent. And Theo delivered a chilling promise – if the truth came out, Carl’s funeral would be next.
