Molly and Ashley are favourites to die in next week's tram crash, according to bookmaker Paddy Power, with those mostly likely to survive including Kevin Webster, Bill Webster, Hayley Cropper and Norris Cole. Odds on Molly Dobbs meeting her maker in the tram crash are just 1/40 while the bookies' are offering 1/16 on squeaky voiced butcher Ashley Peacock dying in the tragedy.
Hardly surprising given that Corrie producer Phil Collinson has announced that both characters will be axed from the soap. Janice Battersby (Vicki Entwistle) who is also leaving Coronation Street in its 50th anniversary year has odds of 6/4. Although it's supposedly a closely guarded secret which of the THREE major characters will die in the Coronation Street tram crash, pictures of Rita appearing to survive the incident with cuts and bruises have been widely circulated. Meanwhile the tabloids recently reported that Molly and Ashley were to die in the tram crash and that John Stape is to murder Charlotte Hoyle in a desperate attempt to stop her revealing that he buried Colin Fishwick's body in the Underworld knicker factory.
Here are the current odds on who is to die in the Coronation Street tram crash from Paddy Power:
Molly Dobbs 1/40
Peter Barlow 5/2
Dev Alahan 5/1
Ashley Peacock 1/16
Jim MacDonald 3/1
Chris Gray 5/1
Charlotte Hoyle 4/6
Nick Tilsley 3/1
Kevin Webster 6/1
Rita Sullivan evens
Becky MacDonald 3/1
Norris Cole 6/1
Sunita Alahan 5/4
Emily Bishop 4/1
Bill Webster 6/1
Janice Battersby 6/4
Ken Barlow 5/1
Hayley Cropper 6/1
Ciaran McCarthy 9/4
Lloyd Mullaney 5/1
It's understood we won't find out who dies until Friday, 24 hours after the live episode.

No mention of the odds on Clair biting the bullet... dagnabbit. I can't stand that character and would happily see both her and Ashley cashing in their chips, kicking the bucket or even taking the last tram to the terminus. It would be quite funny if mad Charlotte bought the farm too, though I like the madness of her storyline.
