Coronation Street businesswoman Carla Connor has emerged as the bookies' top suspect in the soap's upcoming murder case.

Weatherfield villain Frank Foster (Andrew Lancel) is about to get his comeuppance as he is found dead next week, but his long list of enemies means that police will be left baffled over who the culprit was.

Carla, played by Alison King, is now William Hill's 2/1 favourite to be revealed as the killer once the storyline reaches its dramatic conclusion. The no-nonsense factory boss has the biggest motive as Frank sexually assaulted her last year.

Kym Marsh's character Michelle, who also hates Frank, follows closely behind with odds of 4/1, while Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) is at 5/1.

Kevin and Sally Webster (Michael Le Vell and Sally Dynevor) are both at 8/1, while unlikely suspect Kirk Sutherland (Andrew Whyment) and dead character John Stape (Graeme Hawley) also feature on the bookmaker's list with respective odds of 10/1 and 20/1.

William Hill spokesperson Rupert Adams commented: "Carla has her reasons to off Frank, but the dark horse has to be Kirk. Often in the background during Corrie, maybe he has been plotting a murder in his downtime."

The odds in full are as follows:

2/1 - Carla Connor
3/1 - Anyone else
4/1 - Michelle Connor
5/1 - Peter Barlow
8/1 - Sally Webster
8/1 - Kevin Webster
10/1 - Kirk Sutherland
20/1 - John Stape

Coronation Street's Carla and Michelle Connor decide to destroy an important piece of evidence in the aftermath of Frank Foster's murder later this month.

Frank (Andrew Lancel) will soon be found dead at Underworld after upsetting a number of Weatherfield's residents, leaving police baffled as they try to discover who the culprit was.

The businessman's body remains at the factory while police investigate the scene, and when it is finally removed the next day, Carla (Alison King) and Michelle (Kym Marsh) watch on - seemingly horrified.

In the days that follow, Carla finds herself firmly in the frame for the crime - having the biggest motive after Frank sexually assaulted her and conned her out of Underworld.

When it emerges that the new factory contract is mysteriously missing from Frank's desk, the scrutiny surrounding Carla intensifies. As the police believe that Carla killed Frank and retrieved the contract to keep hold of Underworld, she quickly becomes their prime suspect.

However, Michelle soon has a shocking confession to make - telling Carla that she returned to the factory on the night of Frank's murder and stole the document.

As this puts Michelle at the scene of the crime when Frank died, the ladies decide to set fire to the paperwork. With the pair conspiring together, could either of them have been the killer?

Freaky Frank Foster gets killed on Monday night on Coronation Street and we know how he's going to get killed, even if we don't yet know whodunnit.

The Mirror's We Love Telly magazine yesterday revealed that the murder weapon used to kill rapist Frank will be a whisky bottle.

The magazine says that in tomorrow's killer episode of Corrie, Frank threatens to rape Carla again, Michelle is furious with him, Peter Barlow the boozer goes on a bender, Sally’s humiliated – and her ex-husband Kevin promises to avenge her good name.

And Peter and Carla provide false alibis for each other, when the police take Peter in for questioning after they discover the murder weapon is a whisky bottle.

The smart money's still on Anne Foster as Frank's killer.

‘Anne discovers that the contract Carla signed, giving ownership of the factory to Frank

1. Contract was with Jenny and that was to be signed before she sold to Frank -
2. Read that Sally and Michelle run to the factory to stop her signing the contract - I took it to be the Jenny contract - Jenny contract would not be a contract giving the factory to Frank. That would have been a different contract.

Carla not leaving that I know , his Mother is no1 for it , she will not be around long.

Coronation Street star Andrew Lancel has admitted that his character deserves to be murdered.

The actor plays evil Frank Foster in the ITV1 soap, who is found lying dead in a pool of his own blood at Underworld tomorrow (March 5), leading to five of his enemies becoming suspects in his murder.

Lancel revealed that he often struggled to forget about Frank's evil actions when he left work, meaning he was happy to bow out of the soap when he did.

"I would learn my lines at work or stay over at a friend's house. Frank is not a character you want to bring home. I did that right up until the end but there was one day when I didn't get time to shake him off," he told the Daily Star Sunday.

"After we finished I had to rush off as we had a problem with childcare for my son. I hadn't even had time to take my make-up off. I'd only been in the house a few minutes and my wife Lou was like, 'You need to go and have a glass of wine and just shut up'. She was right. I popped out to my local pub and it didn't take me long."

Speaking of his exit, he added: "I'll certainly miss everyone at Corrie, it really has been the best year of my life but I won't miss Frank. He had it coming and, as everyone will see, he gets what he deserves.

"I think the show is just so cool at the moment. It never really felt like I was leaving as I was always going. When you join a show and get into a relationship with Carla Connor (Alison King) you are going to die.

"She is the black widow of the Street. When they offered me the part it was pretty clear in my head that he was going to die. I wouldn't, shouldn't, couldn't have continued with him anyway just because of how much of a monster he was and it was never an option anyway."

Lancel, who is up for 'Best Villain' at this year's British Soap Awards, added that fans are in for a "real treat" when Frank's killer is revealed.

He has described Frank's departure as "classic Corrie", teasing that the killer could be any of the five suspects.
