Carl Webster

Carl Webster allowed Debbie Webster to take the blame for a fatal accident, and is struggling with the revelation that Debbie is his mother, not his sister. This situation has made him a potential target. He has also drawn the ire of Abi and Kevin Webster, who have formed a new friendship based on their dislike of him.

Fan Theories and Suspicions

Social media is abuzz with fan theories regarding the identity of both the victim and the killer. Many viewers believe Carl Webster’s time on the show is coming to an end, citing his problematic behavior and the animosity towards him from other characters. Others speculate that Theo Silverton could be the victim, potentially bringing the domestic abuse storyline to a close.
