Coronation Street teen Brody Michaelis provides a potential new clue in Theo Silverton’s murder investigation tonight – could it link to Gary Windass?
The drama begins as Brody is arrested on suspicion of theft and taken to the police station to be questioned by DS Lisa Connor-Swain.
The reason? His fingerprints were found all over Todd Grimshaw’s phone, which has turned up at a pawn shop after going missing on the night of Theo’s demise.
This could connect Brody to the scene of the crime – or make one of the six official suspects look more guilty…
Acting cool and cocky under interrogation from Lisa, bad boy Brody explains that he found the phone in a skip near the builder’s yard that evening.
Brody confesses that he sold the device to the pawn shop to make some fast cash, totally unaware that his decision would come back to haunt him.
Kit Green – now back from his secondment – is livid over his son’s arrest and insists that he shouldn’t be implicated in the murder case.
It seems that Kit needn’t worry, though, as his police colleagues appear far more interested in someone else.
Lisa and her boss DI Thompson discuss how the location of the phone leaves them with a dilemma over Gary. On one hand, it looks damning for Gary that Brody found the phone so close to the builder’s yard, but there’s also a possibility that it’s just too obvious…
Is it a clue or a red herring? Could someone be setting Gary up? We’re unlikely to get firm answers for a while yet!
Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa, recently told us: “Lisa has felt quite disjointed where work is concerned. She’s felt under pressure, so she’s itching to get back out there.
“It’s extremely complicated because there are so many people in the frame. Where do you go from there? It’s going to be a long investigation, but that is exactly where she wants it to be. She doesn’t want a quick nick, even though she’s under pressure.
She added: “There’s a new DI [Thompson] who wants to do everything by the book and is putting pressure on – not just on Lisa but also Kit and everyone who’s in the station.
“It’s also important to her, because this is on her watch. So no matter how long it takes, she will get there in the end.”
