It hadn't been suggested Tyrone was hiding something, until a flahsback scene exposed his guilt.‌Summer had been arrested over Theo's murder, but she said Tyrone could prove her innocence. We then saw flashbacks reveal Theo had let Summer leave the flat after their showdown, and as she fled, Tyrone was there.‌Tyrone saw Summer, and she saw him, while Tyrone then looked up and saw Theo in the flat window. But when Lisa put this to Tyrone, after Summer's statement, he completely denied it.Fiz Brown asked her husband about this, sensing something was up and that he wasn't being truthful. But Tyrone hit back at this, claiming he would not have lied given Summer's turmoil.‌But we saw the flashback, and so we know Tyrone is lying to Fiz and the police, and he's leaving Summer to suffer. Summer did see him that night, and Theo was still alive.Now, fans think they know why the character might have lied, given Summer's freedom was resting on his admittance that she saw him. Taking to social media, fans claimed that they believed Tyrone might be covering for Theo's real killer.They suggested either his daughter Hope Stape was to blame, or her pal Sam Blakeman was, and Hope was there when it happened. A fan said: "Hope pushed Theo and he’s covering for her."‌Another asked: "Was it Fiz's daughter?" as a third said: "Hope is the killer and Tyrone protecting her." A further post read: "It will be about protecting Hope, because maybe Sam was the one who killed Theo while having one of his psychotic episodes and Hope may have been with him."Some fans even wondered if Tyrone killed Theo.
