ITV Coronation Street fans 'work out' who really stole Damon's money - and it's not David

Coronation Street fans are speculating that David Platt may not be the one who pilfered Damon Hay's cash, as they attempt to deduce the real culprit.

Recently in Weatherfield, imprisoned rogue Damon (Ciaran Griffiths) proposed using illicit funds to cover the medical expenses of Sarah Platt's (Tina O'Brien) daughter Bethany (Lucy Fallon), following her disastrous cosmetic surgery in Turkey.

The money was stashed away by Damon in a storage unit after his participation in an armed heist. Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) discovered Damon's monetary proposition but initially kept it from Sarah.

However, when he finally revealed the truth, the money had mysteriously disappeared. Several locals were under suspicion, including Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson) - Gail Platt's (Helen Worth) new partner. Sarah also interrogated Adam, but he maintained his innocence.

In Monday's episode (October 21), troublemaker Logan (Harry Lowbridge) broke into Sarah's house, believing she had hidden the money there. But as the episode concluded, viewers seemed to identify the thief, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Lily was caught by her father David rummaging through the cupboard under the stairs. A flustered David tried to shoo her away, and once she left, he was seen searching for something. David then uncovered a bag filled with money.

He concealed it beneath a duvet and other items. However, despite this potentially implicating David as the thief, viewers are convinced that he is not the actual perpetrator.

On a Coronation Street fan page on Facebook, viewers speculated about the real thief. One viewer commented: "I don't think it was David! " Another responded: "Don't think it was him, he looked shocked when he saw the money." A third concurred: "I don't believe David did steal the money and someone else has hidden it there."

Fans also shared their theories about who the culprit could be, with several pointing fingers at David's partner Shona (Julia Goulding) in what would be a surprising turn of events. One person questioned: "Does anyone think it could be Shona." Another agreed: "That's a good idea, as maybe he told her about the money?" A third wrote: "I'm thinking the same. Still don't think David did it there will be a twist."

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
