I hope the Corrie team at least attempt to keep the investigation realistic. I don't mind some artistic licence as long as it doesn't devolve into complete fantasy.

Im not sure whether a positive identification has been officially made as yet

No, it hasn't been mentioned, but I thought it odd that the police and Callum's mum were talking as if they have no doubt the body is Callum if it hasn't been officially identified yet. Still, stranger things have happened in Corrie...

I presume that because Callum´s credit card was found on the body and he has been missing for a while the police are not in much doubt that they yhave the right body pending further forensic tests

True, I just don't think the police in real life would repeatedly refer to it as Callum Logan until a definitive ID was made. I think they'd more likely refer to it as "the body presumed to be Callum Logan" or similar. However, I don't actually know and am making an assumption that might well be incorrect.

The first time the police made contact with David Platt they said a body had been found, not yet identified but there was the credit card in his name and as it was well known to the police that Callum and the Platts had had issues, they came to ask questions

If it's not Callum's body, I'd still like to know how it got there. If it was already there I think David might have noticed it when he buried Callum! If it got there after Callum miraculously crawled out after appearing to be dead, how did it get there?

I think that was last week, the episode after the body was discovered. They said at the time it would take a while to definitively identify it because of decomposition. My point is that this week there's been no mention of any doubt over identification.

I also think any parent, no matter how sure they were intellectually that a body was their missing child, wouldn't be able to stop themselves hoping it wasn't. Callum's mum (I can never remember her name) didn't appear to doubt it was him or to be holding out any hope it isn't.

But as I say, I'm making assumptions and probably overthinking it. :o

I don't think there's any doubt it is Callum! :p

Tina Obrien said in an interview that Sarah will have frequent visions and flashbacks of Cllum, she is also watched by someone at his funeral and Bethany receives gifts from a "secret admirer". Gemma did tell David to watch his back, so maybe Callums mate are the ones behind it but I think it would be a good twist if it turned put to be Callum himself. I have a feeling that the police will eventually question Denton to then find out that he is also missing. So the police might assume that he has ran away because he was the one who done it. When really its his body that has been misidentified as Callum.

Yeah its a pretty rubbish theory but I would prefer this to happen than someone simply getting arrested for it and then thats that.
