‘It’s all my fault’ Screaming Lucy admits to violent murder in Coronation Street

| Soaps Reporter Published September 28, 2026 9:57am Updated September 28, 2026 9:57am Lucy’s crumbling under the pressure (Picture: ITV) The mystery surrounding the death of Lucy Parkinson’s (Anya Dewin) mum Rachel took another turn in Coronation Street today. Earlier this year, Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) visited his cousin Richie’s (Nathan Sussex) house and discovered something horrific. Richie was stood in front of Tim wearing a shirt that was covered in blood. Tim stepped inside, and then found Richie’s partner Rachel dead on the floor. Richie was thrown in a prison cell, while his daughter Lucy moved in with Tim and Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor). Lucy has struggled to settle in at Sally and Tim’s house. At first, she’d get angry whenever she felt the need to defend her dad, but these outbursts are now happening more frequently. A couple of days ago, Sally found a drawing that Lucy had done of a woman screaming. She asked if it was Rachel, and Lucy saw red afterwards.

They both made comments that fuelled the theory that Richie killing Rachel in self-defence wasn’t true, and the possibility of Lucy actually being the one who ended Rachel’s life increased again in today’s episode. In the garden, Tim got chatting to neighbour DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers), who was curious about how Lucy was getting on. Tim ended up admitting that he’s worried Richie is putting pressure on Lucy to back up his version of events over Rachel’s murder. Lisa said that she’d try and get more information for Tim, but neither of them realised Lucy was listening in on their chat.
