Tonight’s Coronation Street (Tuesday, June 16) saw a major twist in the ongoing gun drama as Jodie Ramsey secretly took possession of Carl Webster’s missing weapon.
Carl had hidden the gun beneath a car tyre so one of Fiona’s associates could collect it. He believed it would finally bring an end to the dangerous situation. But when the collection went wrong and the gun had vanished, Carl quickly found himself facing even more trouble.
With tensions rising and Fiona refusing to back down, it now looks like Ronnie could be forced to step in and solve the growing crisis before things spiral even further out of control.
Jodie stole Carl’s gun in Coronation Street
The drama at the garage reached new heights this evening as Kevin wrestled with a huge decision over whether to shoot Carl or not.
In an attempt to prove that the gun wasn’t real, Kevin fired it close to Carl, stunned when it actually discharged.
Realising how badly things could have ended, Kevin apologised to Carl. The situation soon came to Debbie’s attention too, with her demanding answers about exactly what Carl had become involved in.
Wanting out of Fiona’s dodgy dealings once and for all, Carl later left the gun hidden beneath a car tyre ready for collection.
But one of Fiona’s men couldn’t find it.
Convinced Carl was deliberately holding onto it and ignoring her calls, Fiona wasted no time confronting him.
What nobody realised, however, was that Jodie Ramsey had already taken the gun. She quietly pocketed it and brought it home, adding it to her growing collection of trophies.
Now under pressure from Fiona to return the missing weapon, Debbie has urged both Carl and Ronnie to track it down before even more trouble lands on their doorstep.
