Coronation Street to air week of dramatic episodes with the factory roof collapse culprit to be revealed

It's been almost two months since the residents of Wetherfield were rocked by the Underworld factory roof collapse.

But now we could be set for a dramatic climax as the villainous culprit is revealed.

Coronation Street is set to run a week of special 9pm episodes from Monday, May 27, which coincide with the Britain's Got Talent live shows.

Viewers of the  ITV  soap were left in shock in March as Rana Habeeb was revealed as the victim of the roof collapse.

Actress Bhavna Limbachia bowed out of the soap in the heart-breaking scenes after three years.

And the aftermath has been every bit as dramatic as Underworld  boss Carla Connor hit rock bottom after being accused of causing Rana's death, including by her own half-sister and Rana's fiancée Kate Connor.

In the last view weeks, Corrie fans have seen a paranoid Carla on the run after suffering a mental breakdown, believing Rana is still alive and that Kate is out to get her, whilst her family and friends frantically trying to find her.

But as the truth is set to be revealed it is Carla, Nick Tilsey, Peter Barlow, Robert Preston, Gary Windass, and Seb Franklin who are all in the frame.

Last year, Corrie used the special week of episodes to expose serial killer Pat Phelan so bosses will be looking to make this year's run just as jaw dropping.

A spokesperson for the Manchester-based show told Inside Soap : "Following weeks of speculation, we are finally going to learn which local has blood on their hands.

"Viewers will learn the truth, although the rest of the Street still has a little way to go before they clock on. It's a story that is going to run and run, and the outcome is not going to be cut and dried.

So, who was it? At least we don't have to wait too much longer to find out.
