CORONATION Street fans are convinced there is a dark twist coming for Emma Brooker after boyfriend Jon forgave her for killing his grandad.
The hairdresser – who is played by actress Alexandra Mardell in the ITV soap – will leave the cobbles this week.
Viewers know she and Faye Windass killed Ted’s grandfather by accident after mowing him down in a car.
In tonight’s episode Jon discovered the truth – but almost instantly forgave Emma and asked her again to move to Australia with him.
After being horrified at learning the truth, Jon took a few minutes and then returned with a shock.
“It’s weird to think you two are the last people to see my grandad alive,” he told Emma.

“When I first heard what had happened to him I couldn’t believe it, the thought of him dying alone scared, I should’ve been there. I’m not saying this to make you feel guilty.
“When you told me about you and Faye, I was relieved. I can picture you in his flat, drinking tea, chatting, having a laugh.
“I bet he passed away with a smile on his face. Just so you know I won’t be going to the police – you’ve been through enough.”
And because Emma said she loved Jon, he decided that his grandad’s death was a price worth paying for their happiness.
With the air cleared, Jon made Emma a shock offer – to move to Australia with him leaving Emma stunned.

And later when Faye and Craig returned from the hospital, still in shock from the news about their false pregnancy, Emma filled them in.
Explaining how Jon has let them all off the hook, Emma insisted that everything was going to be OK.
She told them: “Jon’s going to Australia, and I’m going too.”
But viewers think there will be a dark twist coming with Jon setting her up for revenge.
One wrote: “Well Emma had a lucky escape with Curtis and his fictitious disorder, she’s now going to be under the control of a guy that has something big on her! Stupid girl.”
A second said: “Emma he’s got a hold on you now!!”
Another added: “I feel like Jon is going to blackmail Emma.”
