Coronation Street fans are convinced they've figured out a huge Lucy Parkinson twist.

Only recently, Tim Metcalfe was floored to pick up his cousin Richie, who he hasn't seen in years, as a fare in the precinct. Due to his wife Sally Metcalfe being away, Tim invited Richie over for some drinks with the lads.

During the drinks, Richie confided in Tim about his unhappy marriage to which Tim offered him a place to stay for the night. However, upon Sally returning, the latter wasn't happy about Richie being in their home and Tim encouraged him to return home to his wife.

However, upon discovering Richie's wallet at home, Tim drove back to his house where he found a disoriented and bloodied Richie. Upon entering the house, Tim was horrified and called the police.

On Tuesday's episode, DS Lisa Swain called round and confirmed that they had charged Richie with the murder of his wife. Lisa then informed Tim and Sally that Richie's daughter Lucy had been taken into care and Richie claims he acted in self defence.

In recent scenes, Lucy has moved in with Tim and Sally with even more drama ensuing for the family. On Friday's episode, which is available to watch now on ITVX, Lucy started screaming in the middle of the night and sleepwalking after a terrible nightmare.

After hearing Brody Michaelis gossiping about her family, talking about her mum's murder, Lucy instantly defended her father, claiming that her mother attacked him first and he was acting in self-defence after years of abuse.

Later in the episode, Lucy found herself in another argument on the cobbles when Lily Platt tried to make friends with her. When Lucy ignored her, Lily called her a freak and tried to leave, but Lucy instead grabbed Lily's arm forcing Jodie Ramsey to intervene.

This resulted in Lucy lashing out and Jodie getting injured. Jodie was quick to tell Sally and Tim about Lucy's attack but the new foster parents defended the newcomer, claiming she was the victim instead.

Taking to Twitter, now X, soap watchers think Lucy actually murdered her mum and that her father is taking the blame for her.

One person said: "Was obvious that Lucy would be the one who did it. Not her dad #Corrie that's my theory anyways" to which another viewer wrote: "Wondering if theyll go down that obvious route with it being Lucy that killed her mum and her dad is covering for her #Corrie."

Elsewhere, another account said: "Lucy definitely did it #corrie" to which a different viewer added: "Anyone else already thinking Lucy did it and Richie is just covering for her? That's quite a temper she has there...#corrie.'

Meanwhile, another soap fan commented: "Do you think Lucy killed her mum in a twist #Corrie", a different viewer put: "My guess is Lucy killed her mum and her Dad is taking the blame.... #Corrie" with another soap watcher adding: "#corrie Did Lucy kill her mum and the dad is covering by taking the blame."

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV and ITVX.
