Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) is trapped behind bars in Coronation Street, and the only way she can free herself is by potentially putting someone else in prison. The character was arrested for murdering Theo Silverton (James Cartwright). Earlier this year, Sarah endured a showdown with Theo, which resulted in her hitting him with a metal pole. He then fell over scaffolding and onto the floor.
Gary's involvement in the cover-up
After the incident, Sarah called Gary Windass (Mikey North) for help. Gary has a history of covering up murders, so doing it again was not an issue. He was confident that if they stayed quiet, someone else would go to prison for Theo's murder. However, Sarah's guilt eventually made her crumble and reveal her secret to her boyfriend, copper Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).
Kit's dilemma and Sarah's cell conversation
In today's episode, Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) made it clear to Kit that Sarah is their prime suspect. She is suspicious that Kit helped his partner cover up the murder, as he attempted to retrieve Sarah's clothes from the evidence store. In her cell, Kit explained the situation to Sarah, and she was terrified. Kit advised Sarah to plead self-defence and tell everyone that Gary forced her to cover up Theo's death. This increases Sarah's chances of freedom or a smaller sentence, but Gary could go to prison.
What will Sarah do next?
If Sarah does nothing, she will go to prison for murder. The episode aired on ITVX and YouTube before its ITV1 broadcast. Fans are left wondering which path Sarah will take. The Soaps Newsletter offers exclusive spoilers and interviews for those wanting more insights.
