Coronation Street fans are worried that a beloved character could be the next tragic victim on the cobbles — and their theories are already spreading fast online.

Viewers have recently seen Amy Robins reprise her role as Christina Boyd, the mother of Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan), and though her return started with tension and chaos, many fans have grown surprisingly fond of the character. However, a new fan theory predicts a horror future for Christina — one that could see her killed off in shocking circumstances.

Christina’s Rocky Return

When Christina last appeared in Coronation Street earlier this year, she was in cahoots with Daisy to con Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) out of money. Their scam involved Jenny’s supposed new love interest, Dom, who turned out to be a catfish looking to fleece her.

Daisy eventually discovered that Christina was working with Dom — but instead of confronting her mother, Daisy turned the tables, snatching the cash and jetting off to Bali, leaving Christina humiliated and broke.

Months later, Christina returned to Weatherfield with a surprising story — Dom had died, and she was in contact with local undertaker George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) to arrange the funeral. While Jenny initially accused her of scheming again, she was left red-faced when she discovered Dom’s lifeless body at George’s funeral home.

Since then, Christina has slowly been rebuilding her life — and even striking up a sweet connection with George. But with Coronation Street’s 65th anniversary fast approaching, fans are convinced her newfound peace is about to be shattered.

Fan Theory: Christina to Be Killed Off

In a thread on Reddit, viewers began speculating that Christina might meet a dark end during the soap’s Christmas episodes.

User VerbalAries predicted:

“Calling it now! Christmas predictions: Theo kills Billy, Christina, who is already weary of him, witnesses or somehow finds out and tries to blackmail. Theo kills her and dotes on the grieving Todd. Poor George.”

Other fans quickly responded in horror.
Own_Obligation4325 wrote: “I really hope nothing bad happens to Christina, she’s already becoming a favourite.”
Emily-67 added: “Completely agree! She’s been great recently.”
While Bramallblade1 summed up the general mood: “We need to protect Christina at all costs. I absolutely love her now.”

Producer Teases a Major Death

Adding fuel to the speculation, Corrie’s executive producer Iain MacLeod recently hinted that a major death is on the horizon as part of the show’s 65th anniversary celebrations.

Speaking to The Mirror, MacLeod revealed:

“The soap gods demand a sacrifice when you have an event of this kind. It’s going to be shocking. There will be lots of trauma, lots of drama, lots of twists.”

He also suggested that the victim could be a character fans care deeply about:

“Sometimes the biggest and best exits are for characters that you care the most about. There’s always that equation where you think, ‘If they were to go, the viewers will really care, but what damage will it do to the landscape of the show?’”

A Fan Favourite in the Firing Line

If the fan theories prove true, losing Christina would be a major blow to the show. After initially being introduced as a schemer, she’s undergone one of Coronation Street’s most impressive soft reboots — transforming into a flawed but likable figure with a big heart. Her relationship with George has also given the long-time undertaker some long-overdue happiness.

With producer hints and fan theories aligning, though, Coronation Street fans fear their new favourite may not survive the festive season.
