The local undertaker faces scrutiny following a damning discovery in the laundry basket at No.11, which hints that he has something to hide.

Trouble unfolds as George’s partner Christina Boyd finds the jumper that he changed out of on the night of the murder.

The item of clothing has visible blood stains, so Christina makes a risky plan to make sure that it’s not spotted by the police when they pay an unexpected visit.

Sadly, with DS Connor-Swain on the case, it’s not long before she’s caught red-handed…

As George is arrested and ordered to explain himself at the police station, he points out that Theo was injured during an earlier altercation in the flat.

George and Todd Grimshaw have both been open with the coppers about how they were forced to overpower Theo in self-defence, locking him in the bedroom.

Unfortunately for George, DS Connor-Swain can spot inconsistencies in his story and doesn’t seem fully convinced by what he’s saying.

Could George have been responsible for Theo’s death? Fans can see how the interrogation plays out in full when the episode airs tonight on ITV1, or it’s streaming early now on ITVX.

Earlier this week, Corrie bosses put George on an official list of six suspects for the murder alongside Todd, Christina, Gary Windass, Summer Spellman and Danielle Silverton.

Fans can expect George to fiercely protest his innocence, but this could be a cover for a deadly crime.

A Corrie statement recently teased: “Everyone on the street is struggling to comprehend that one of their own is a murderer, but for the suspects, the fight is to keep their secrets hidden. This month, the pressure mounts to a breaking point as the hunt for Theo’s killer commences.

“This week will see Todd, George and Gary face a grilling, and in the coming weeks, Summer, Christina and Danielle follow in their footsteps.”
