Coronation Street fans believe a behind-the-scenes photo shared by director Dom Stephenson on Instagram hints at an affair between Sarah Platt and Gary Windass. The image, blurred to avoid spoilers, shows a dinner setting with candles and food, and viewers speculate it could be the moment Gary's secret is exposed.
In recent episodes, Sarah has been struggling mentally after being attacked and left for dead, while Gary has been acting suspiciously around partner Maria Connor. Their secret chats and protective behaviour have led fans to suspect they slept together on the night Theo Silverton was killed.
One viewer noted that actress Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria, recently posted a photo in a pink dress, which appears to match an outfit in the blurred BTS shot. This has fuelled theories that Maria will discover the affair during a major episode.
Stephenson captioned the Instagram story: 'Edit locked on a very special block! Proud of what we've achieved and excited for everyone to see what we've cooked up. This is about the only spoiler free shot I could find,' adding a side-eye emoji. Coronation Street also shared the post, teasing the upcoming storyline.
Fans on social media have speculated that the scene will reveal Gary and Sarah's affair, with one commenting: 'Defo the affair reveal between Gary and Sarah. That’s Maria on the right as well.' Another replied: 'Good detective skills wonder who she is with?'
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
