If it is a regular character then the storyline would have to last quite a while, out of the characters who are leaving only Peter looks likely, if not him then it would have to be a non-regular. If a regular does kill Tina then I'm sure we will have known by now that he/she is leaving Corrie also a date hasn't been set for when Chris Gasgoyne goes.

It could be Rob.

However Peter is convicted and the truth only comes out when Chris wants to come back.

Nah, Peter won't be the killer, it's far too obvious. I've said all along it will be Phelan mistaking her for Katy.

Its too obvious isn't it?
Peter isn't a murderer and even if he did it accidently, he would crumble under the pressure straight away
Maybe Tina has an accident or something

I am convinced Phelan will do it

Yeah, I think this makes sense if it goes like Lynchpin says and he mistakes her for Katie.

Agreed. I can't see anyone else being behind it although Dennis tanner has come back for a reason

I reckon Peter and Tina will have an argument, she'll suffer a tumble where she bangs her head. A few episodes later Tina's body will be found on the Red Rec and that is where the 'WhoDunnit' will begin....

Police investigations will find trauma to the head...

But will that be the cause of it?

Somebody pulling out her extensions?

I'd be well up for Dennis doing it as it would pile the misery onto Rita even more, and I love to see her unhappy.

I could see that. Perhaps she's fighting with Tracy and then Tracy pulls a bit too hard on her extensions leading to irreparable head trauma.

The Phelan theory actually sounds pretty plausible now, given that Georgia Foote is leaving. If it comes out somehow that Tina was mistaken for Katy, I can see this giving Katy some magically renewed motivation to go off and making something of the life Tina kind of unwillingly sacrificed herself for, and go travelling or something. Or maybe she'll have to go off somewhere to hide from Phelan if he's still after her. It sounds like something SB would do, in my head anyway.

That sounds like what happened to Lucy.

I agree with others posts, the Phelan theory is sounding very likely now with Katy leaving.

Phelan has left....

and the story lasts until the end of the year

"Everybody knows Tina's going; it's going to be an
incredible, spectacular exit and it's going to take us right
through autumn and December. It's going to be massive.''

We havent saw Phelan for a week or two but I think he,ll be back, they wont leave the storyline there.

The storyline can continue even if the killer has left by then. We've got the reproductions it'll have on everyone from Carla and Peter to Rita and Steph, no doubt months of the wrong people being arrested, we know Tina's mum is turning up etc. Supposedly we see the murder happen, so it won't need to be a long drawn out whodunnit.

I wish whoever it is would flipping hurry up! I think it could well be Dennis too though.

I agree it could be Dennis. Either him or Peter. I can't think who else it could be.

Death by hair extensions. Ooh please let this be the cause.

it sounds like something that would happen on Midsomer Murders.

Yes Trev. that would be a fitting end to her life on the cobbles.

He said last week in an interview he's finished in the show now, but apparently

I suppose he could've meant he's finished filming, rather than finished being on screen but it didn't sound like that.

I don't think it will be Peter.
My theory is that she will be murdered and then Peter will once again hit the booze and go into rehab and then away for a while for his "time away from Corrie" and then he will be back.
In all reasoning I don't have any thoughts as to who kills Tina........ jus think Phelan won't be the one (maybe one of his henchmen will).

Isn't that a bit too much like what happened to Gemma in Emmerdale?

Still got a feeling about Nick doing it in one of his outbursts, if not him then Owen maybe.
