Fans of Coronation Street think they know who the new Underworld factory owner will be.
Amid hints Carla Connor-Swain will sell up, Idris Nazir is doing his best to get his hands on the business. He’s been sabotaging Carla, trying to get her to sell up.
From damaging the factory to meddling, he’s up to his nasty tricks again and Carla has no idea. Some viewers are predicting Carla will end up selling, or maybe someone will give her money so she can remain in control.
Viewers are starting to suspect it could be a former character who heads back to the show and gives Carla the money. Some think Carla’s ex Peter Barlow is heading back to Weatherfield, while other predictions include Carla’s sister Kate Connor and close friend Michelle Connor.
One fan posted online: “I hope Peter comes back to save the factory.” Another said: “Peter? He’s meant to be coming back?” as a third added: “PETER 1000%”
A separate theory read: “Omg please bring Kate back to help her half sister if that doesn’t happen then I will cry.” Another fan agreed: “I think it’s Kate Connor but I do hope it would be Lisa but don’t think so.”
This was backed by a comment that said: “Kate is coming back,” while a fan added: “Probably Kate.” As for Michelle, a fan said: “Michelle Connor COMING BACK????”
Owen Armstrong’s confirmed return also left fans wondering if Owen might step in to help. A fan said: “Owen is meant to be coming back, it could be him.”
Another agreed: “Izzy’s dad,” as one said: “Or is it Izzy’s dad because he is coming back?” Other fans thought it might be someone currently on the show, including Roy Cropper, or Betsy or Lisa.
A fan said: “I think Roy could help Carla sort it out,” as another said: “Roy and Betsy.” A further post read: “I would love for it to be Betsy or Lisa that way the factory would legit be a family kind of company.”
Meanwhile one fan suggested Brody would feel guilty for helping Idris. They said: “I have a feeling Brody is gonna feel extremely guilty and help Sally with the money to open it up again.”
But other fans are hoping it will be no one who saves the day, and that Carla will be able to keep her business. A fan wrote: “Underworld is Carla, Carla is Underworld….. she can’t loose the factory in her 20th year. Someone/something will come up for her. There’s so many memories held there, especially a little blonde who was in the area.”
