Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn has teased the "exciting" whodunnit storyline involving Tina McIntyre.
On Tuesday, May 27, viewers will see one of Tina's enemies push her from the balcony on the top of Owen Armstrong's building yard.
Speaking about the conclusion of the murder plot, he said: "The best bit is the climax - it's almost like the whole affair has been the prologue for what happens next.
"We've got at least another three weeks of really powerful drama. I can't wait.
"The whole thing's been so exciting and following on after the Roy and Hayley story from last year, to come up with something that is so different but I think equally good, is just brilliant."
Comparing it to EastEnders' current 'Who killed Lucy?' storyline, in which the culprit won't be revealed until 2015, Blackburn said that he was unsure about the tactic to stretch out the plot.
"It's a risky thing - I hope it goes well, because it's so brave to do something like that," he said.
On the challenges of long-running storylines, he said: "With us, we're doing it in chapters - it was the affair, then it's Tina's death and the aftermath of that - and going into January next year, chapter three's going to be blistering - people are going to want revenge!
"It's the same for all the soaps - all of us at different times have these ongoing stories and getting that balance so you're not boring the audience and you're keeping them gripped without going over the top, it's hard work."
He added that the ITV soap's new look and set has proved to be "brilliant".
"Every week and month that goes by we're just doing little improvements and tweaking it - it's just so much easier to work on.
"We're shooting it really tight at the moment so people can't tell the difference but a year from now, I think the show will look very different."
Stuart Blackburn was speaking at the Arqiva BAFTA Television Awards 2014.
Bosses recently confirmed that there will be four suspects in the Tina murder storyline.

I wonder will we have a dead similar to Sunita, as in the killer finishes Tina off in hospital or another killer does her in
I was expecting her murder storyline to be much better than what has been released in pictures and spoilers so far
I had hoped she would fall from the balcony and that would be it ... but of course, the inevitable needs to be drawn out :rolleyes:
The killer doesn't have to be one of the four suspects.
It has been confirmed by ITV that the murderer is one of the 4 suspectsQuote:
