Coronation Street enthusiasts are buzzing with theories about Gary Windass and Sarah Platt, whose recent secretive behavior has sparked widespread speculation. Played by Mikey North and Tina O'Brien respectively, the characters have been seen engaging in private conversations over the past weeks, causing discomfort for Maria Connor, portrayed by Samia Longchambon. Given the romantic history between Gary and Sarah, Maria's concern is understandable. The pair were in a solid relationship from 2016 to 2019, which ended after Gary's entanglement with loan shark Rick Neelan.
Fan Theories Emerge
After a period of animosity, Gary and Sarah appear to have reconciled, leading viewers to develop a compelling theory. Their closeness has intensified since the night of Theo Silverton's murder, which also saw Sarah attacked by Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown). While some speculate their secrecy hints at involvement in the murder, many fans believe otherwise.
Social media has been abuzz with comments like: "Clear Sarah and Gary slept together not killed Theo #Corrie" and "Something happened on that night between Sarah and Gary. Either they slept together or have something to do with Theo’s death." Another viewer stated, "I’m convinced that Gary and Sarah are having some sort of an affair and that’s why they’re both being weird about this."
Clues Pointing to an Affair
The theory that Gary and Sarah spent the night together is not far-fetched. It would explain Gary's eagerness to prevent Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) from viewing the CCTV footage from that night. The footage might show more than Gary destroying Theo's van. Kit is currently dating Sarah, and despite her frequent calls expressing how much she misses him while he's away, her behavior could be driven by guilt over cheating rather than just the aftermath of her attack.
Another fan noted: "Gary and Sarah definitely slept together and that’s why the CCTV got deleted." Sarah's constant phone calls to Kit feel like she's hiding a big secret, possibly involving Gary. Additionally, Gary lied to Maria about his whereabouts on the night of Theo's murder and seemed on the verge of confessing something else before admitting to smashing Theo's van.
What Lies Ahead?
As Kit has made Gary his prime suspect in Theo's murder, the question remains: will Gary and Sarah have to come clean to keep him out of prison? The ongoing storyline continues to captivate audiences, with many eagerly awaiting the truth behind their mysterious behavior.
