Coronation Street airs a painful twist for Carl Webster tonight as he’s injured at the garage in suspicious circumstances. Could these be some of his final moments on the show?
Carl finally pushes his luck too far in Tuesday’s episode as disaster strikes while he’s plotting sinister revenge against his uncle Kevin.
The drama kicks off as Carl prepares to leave Weatherfield – feeling more smug than ever now that he’s received a bribe from his mum Debbie.
Although the love rat wants to spend his last day tying up loose ends, he can’t resist winding up the likes of Kevin, Abi Webster, Tyrone Dobbs, Fiz Dobbs and Theo Silverton. Any chance of leaving on a positive note is destroyed, as everyone ends up hating him more than they did already!
Tensions boil over when Kevin spots an opportunity to secretly swipe Carl’s envelope of cash from Debbie.
Once Carl discovers that he’s been duped, he goes nuclear as he heads to the garage and starts secretly tampering with the brakes of Kevin’s car, which is in for a service.
Suddenly, there are footsteps nearby and the trolley jack gives way in suspicious circumstances, leaving Carl crushed by the weight of the car.
It’s Carl’s father-in-law Ronnie Bailey who rescues him and drives him to the hospital. Was he responsible for the incident, only to have second thoughts? Or did he interrupt someone else trying to kill Carl?
And perhaps more crucially, will Carl die from complications at the hospital or will he live to fight another day? We won’t know for sure until Friday’s episode (1 May), when we find out who’s being killed off.
Corrie‘s murder mystery week is focusing on five different characters who are all in danger of losing their lives: Carl, Theo, Jodie Ramsey, Maggie Driscoll and Megan Walsh. There’ll be more twists and turns across the rest of this week ahead of the big reveal.
