Coronation Street is set to explore Christina Boyd’s past as she raises Glenda Shuttleworth’s suspicions. The news comes as Christina is suspected of Theo Silverton’s murder alongside Todd Grimshaw, Gary Windass, and Christina’s boyfriend George Shuttleworth, following Summer Spellman’s exoneration.
In their summer soap preview, TV Times magazine revealed that Glenda (Jodie Prenger) will discover that Christina (Amy Robbins) is in contact with her ex-husband Lenny.
The revelation will cause Glenda to fear that her brother George (Tony Maudsley) is being played for a fool by Christina. But is Christina cheating on George or is she hiding a very different secret?
Christina initially appeared in Weatherfield to visit her daughter Daisy Midgeley, whom she had neglected for most of her life. Christina’s scheming then led her into a feud with Daisy’s stepmother Jenny Connor. However, since entering a relationship with George, Christina has become a much more trustworthy and stable character
Last month, as DS Lisa Connor-Swain and Kit Green continued their investigation into Theo’s murder, Christina was revealed to have been lying about her movements on the night of his death.
DS Connor-Swain’s colleague PC Brady discovered that Christina’s car was seen on Hyde street at the time when she had claimed to be picking up Todd from Inkerman Street.
Christina was then questioned by police off-camera before coming home and assuring a worried George that she had just gotten her timings mixed up. She told George that she forgotten she’d filled up with petrol before picking up Todd, calling it all just an “oversight.”
The coming weeks on the soap will see more flashback scenes before Theo’s murderer is finally revealed.
Corrie producer Kate Brooks recently shared: “We reveal to the audience who it is during late June/early July.
“There’s lots of people who you’ll definitely think it could be. It’s a massive story with so many different twists and different offshoots.
“You’ll think you’re watching one thing, and then it diverts into a completely new story territory. It’ll definitely keep people guessing!”
