Coronation Street's flashforward episode reveals its 5 possible murder victims

But who will get murdered on 23rd April?

Coronation Street has revealed the identities of five possible murder victims as viewers were taken back to the future in the soap’s much-anticipated flashforward episode, which is available now on ITVX and will screen tonight at 8.30pm on ITV1.

Those potentially with reasons to be brutally killed, were revealed to beMegan Walsh, Theo Silverton, Maggie Driscoll, Jodie Ramsey and Carl Webster.

As the drama unfolds, a shocked and anxious Betsy Swain is seen telling the detectives about finding the dead body of someone she knows.

Dressed in wedding clothes, she explains that she had been at the marriage of her mum, Lisa Swain, to Carla Connor, but was heading into town when she made the shocking discovery.

As the episode returns to the present day, we begin to see how the behaviour of the five characters could lead to their possible death two months later.

Megan Walsh is caught up in a web of lies as she continues to groom impressionable teen Will Driscoll. Is the truth about to come out, and does someone believe she deserves to die for what she has done?

One person who will do anything to protect her family is Maggie Driscoll. Having given a fake alibi for Will to stop him from being charged with the Christmas Day attack on Daniel Osbourne, if she were to discover the truth about Megan and Will, could she end up in danger herself?

Carl Webster has burnt all his bridges when he let Debbie take the blame for the Corriedale accident, which killed Billy Mayhew. Since finding out Debbie is actually his mum and not his sister, he has pressed the self-destruct button, and as he continues to goad both family and neighbours, there is more than one person who would be glad to see the back of Carl.

Theo Silverton’s coercive control over Todd has reached new lows, with their wedding looming. Will Todd finally confide in his friends about what has been going on before it is too late? Maybe Todd wants to put an end to the torture, or could someone take the law into their own hands?

Despite initial reservations, the Platts have welcomed Shona’s estranged sister Jodie Ramsey into their home. But Jodie has been keeping secrets from them, and it seems she has got mixed up with some pretty shady characters in her past. Will trouble follow Jodie to Weatherfield, or could she upset people closer to home with her behaviour?

As the episode comes to a close, we flash forward again to 23rd April, and the five characters are on the cobbles as Lisa and Carla’s wedding fireworks light up the night sky. As the lights flicker, a battered and bruised Carl, frantic Jodie, a menacing Maggie, a bloody-nosed Megan and a furtive Theo stare into the darkness. In the final moments, the terrified scream of Betsy Swain fills the air. But which Weatherfield resident will breathe their last on 23rd April?

Coronation Street continues Monday to Friday at 8.30pm on ITV1 with first look episodes available from 7am on ITVX
