Coronation Street fans 'solve' what happened to Gary and who's to blame
Gary Windass' shocking Coronation Street storyline is finally explained next week according to new spoilers.
But some fans think they have already worked out what really happened to the character, and who attacked him. We found out last week that missing Gary has been in a coma in hospital.
Someone has been using his phone to pretend he's okay, when actually he's the person Nina Lucas and Summer Spellman saw and "left for dead" when they were high on LSD. Nina has been worried ever since about who she potentially hurt, not knowing it was Gary.
Nina said she'd shoved a man fearing she was in danger, when said man lunged at her. The camera then panned to Gary in a coma when Nina was heard saying she needed to know who he was.
Gary is in a bad way, and whoever attacked him is going to great lengths to cover up their crime. Spoilers revealed the mystery person, thought to be a woman, has given hospital staff a fake name for Gary, while claiming to be his next of kin so the police do not inform his real family.
But ahead of the truth coming out and Gary's fate being revealed, some fans think they have cracked the case. A few different names have been put forward as the potential culprit.
With Nina so worried about what's happened and clearly not knowing it's Gary, she can't be the one hiding the crime. But could Summer know more than she's letting on?
Other names fans are suspecting include Brody Michaelis and his mother Lou, after her run-in with him recently. Gary also had a run-in with Brody's father Mick who's in prison - but has Mick orchestrated the attack?
Taking to social media, one fan theorised: "A Kit/Brody cover up," as another said: "It's either Brody or a drugged-up Summer." A third posted: "Summer has his phone I will bet."
As for Lou or Brody, or even Mick, one fan said: "Lou is texting Maria. I'd say Lou and/or Brody brought Gary to the hospital themselves and told the nurses they were related." A further comment suggested: "I don't think it's Brody.
"I don't think he's clever enough for that. Maybe someone from the prison who is on Mick's side and is watching Lou and knows something. I dunno. I feel it's an adult though." One fan replied: "I hadn't thought about Mick - good point. He was annoyed she'd been hanging out with him."
A fan then said: "Though the only one that can get into Gary's phone is Lou, she remembers his code." While another fan commented: "Well... I'm wondering if the Summer/Nina thinking they battered someone is just a red herring and it was actually Debbie.
"When she was really upset and got behind the wheel." Nina and Summer could be to blame though according to some fans, with one comment reading: "I guess if she took him by surprise with a shove and he fell and hit his head in the wrong place it wouldn't really take much."

Kym Marsh to star in new play Single White Female
The play, written by author, journalist and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, is described as a 'bold and modern reimagining' of the 1992 psychological thriller. Former Coronation Street star Marsh said: 'I am so excited to be bringing this brilliant, brand new and thrilling play to theatres across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. 'I remember being totally gripped by the movie when I first saw it in the cinema and could never have imagined back then that I'd be starring in the world premiere of its life on stage. 'Get ready to be thrilled, shocked and entertained and watch out for those stiletto heels.' Marsh, who first shot to fame in the band Hear'Say, went on to play a major role in Coronation Street from 2006 to 2019, before starring in Waterloo Road. The new play updates the plot of the film, which was itself based on a novel called SWF Seeks Same by John Lutz. 'Full of dark humour and sharp and suspenseful storytelling, this new play updates the original story to the age of social media and all that it brings, in a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the desperate need for belonging in an isolated world,' producers said. The play will open at Brighton's Theatre Royal on January 9, and will then tour the UK and Ireland until June 13. Full casting is yet to be announced. Tickets are on sale now.

Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders pulled in major TV schedule shake up
Emmerdale and EastEnders will not air tonight and Coronation Street is off the schedule on Friday. Soap fans are in for a frustrating few days as a major schedule shake-up means Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale have all been pulled from screens tonight and tomorrow. Thursday evenings usually feature a full hour of Emmerdale and a visit to Albert Square via EastEnders, but neither will air tonight (Thursday, July 3). And Coronation Street viewers are in for disappointment too, as Friday's episode (July 4) has also been bumped from the schedule, Mirror reports. It's all down to the BBC and ITV's blanket sports coverage, with Wimbledon taking centre stage this week. The tennis tournament has dominated BBC programming, joined by live coverage of the Women's Euros, as football teams across Europe fight to make it through the group stages. ITV, too, has made space for the beautiful game. On Friday night, they'll be broadcasting the clash between Germany and Poland, following Portugal's meeting with Spain tomorrow, leaving Corrie fans with an extended wait for their next trip to Weatherfield. While EastEnders devotees had a double helping earlier this week, with hour-long specials on both Monday and Tuesday, those tuning in live had to head over to BBC Two, with others opting to stream the soap on iPlayer. There's some good news for fans of the Walford drama: when it returns next Wednesday, another double bill awaits. Emmerdale will be back a day earlier, returning to screens at 7.30pm on Tuesday, July 8. But Corrie fans will need to wait until Wednesday for the next dose of drama, with its usual Monday slot also falling victim to the Euros. Despite the disruption, ITV has softened the blow with a major digital update. From Monday, June 30, full episodes of both Coronation Street and Emmerdale have been available to stream on YouTube from 6am, hours before their TV debut on ITVX and traditional broadcast. Announcing the move on Instagram, the official Coronation Street account posted: 'Soap fans, rejoice! Starting tomorrow, full episodes will be available on YouTube from 7am, the same day they air on TV!' The update was paired with a graphic showing characters from both soaps beaming beneath their iconic show logos. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

From 2026, ITV will launch a new soap power hour, with half hour episodes of Emmerdale airing at 8pm followed by Coronation Street at 8.30pm. To mark the change, a one-off crossover special will air in January 2026, bringing characters from both shows together in a dramatic hour-long episode. Producers have promised 'everlasting consequences for everyone involved' and teased that the two fictional universes in Yorkshire and Manchester have been linked in an 'ingenious way'. So while the soaps may be missing from the evening line-up, fans still have a way to keep up, just not in the usual way.
