Sean and Billy had just reported Todd missing to the police after he begged Eileen for cash and then never showed up to collect it.
Todd had gone on the run in 2017 after assaulting a police officer, and hasn’t been seen by anyone on the cobbles since.
But next week’s episodes of Corrie will see Billy confide in Sean that he fears it’s Kel that has been found in the river.
Billy worries about how the news will affect his boyfriend Paul.
Viewers will remember that Kel arrived on the cobbles last year and was at the centre of a historic sexual abuse storyline.
Kel groomed and abused his stepson Paul when he was a child while dating his mum, Bernie.
But the walls closed in around Kel after Bernie and Gemma stumbled across old pictures of Paul along with other children in Kel’s flat.
Paul then finally opened up to his family after years of being scared into silence about the abuse Kel had put him through.
How will Paul cope with the news that Kel is dead?
Viewers are convinced that Billy will dump Paul for Todd, who’s set to arrive on the cobbles this autumn, after missing his party during the search for Todd last week.
Could Paul be about to head back on a downward spiral?
