Coronation Street fan theory: Corey murdered – and here are the 5 suspects!

Corey killed Seb

Coronation Street fans have a theory Corey is going to be murdered after being found not guilty for Seb’s murder.

Earlier this year, Seb Franklin and Nina Lucas were attacked by Corey Brent, Kelly Neelan and their friends.

Corey kicked Seb while Kelly begged him to stop. Later Seb died from his injuries and Corey pinned the blame on Kelly, claiming she kicked Seb to death.

When asked what Abi has planned, Sally said to Entertainment Daily and other media: “It’s lifechanging and all of those things. But it’s like she’s being driven by a force she can’t stop and it’s slightly out of her hands as well because she has to do what she’s going to do.”

Speaking about filming Abi’s return and the upcoming scenes, Sally said: “It’s ridiculous. It’s outrageous and it was such good fun. I don’t know how much I can say.”

She added: “Stunts galore. It’s been so much fun and it’s one of those storylines as an actor that you just go ‘oh come on, let’s have it.’ So it was brilliant.”

However fans are convinced Abi will kill Corey.
