Coronation Street's upcoming whodunnit is set to leave one character dead and another suffering "a complete breakdown".

Warning: spoiler alert!

Viewers are set to see the roof of the Underworld factory collapse. One character will die and others will be trapped in the rubble.

However, the collapse was not an accident as fans will see an unidentified figure sabotaging the roof.

Carla Connor is among the suspects, with actress Alison King saying her character reaches "the breaking point".  

"She certainly blames herself when it happens but is that just guilt or does she know more?"

"She has a complete breakdown, it is cumulative of all the life trauma that has happened to her," King explained.

"She is that strong person who has carried on for too long and not asked for help or dealt with anything properly; her upbringing, finding her father, the rape, losing the baby, the disastrous relationships, the death of Aidan. She is at snapping point."

"Closing the factory does look as though she is perhaps aware of how bad the roof was, but has she gone as far as getting someone to sabotage it?" teased the star.

"She certainly blames herself when it happens but is that just guilt or does she know more?"

The drama will play out in next week's episodes.

Coronation Street airs on Virgin Media One and ITV on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
