0

CORONATION Street began its most intense ‘whodunnit’ yet after a shocking murder, with at least three key suspects in the frame.

Monday’s episode of the ITV soap saw Joel Deering’s (Calum Lill) body surface from a river before a post mortem revealed that he was in fact dead before he entered the water and this was no suicide.

DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) announced Joel’s death was now being treated as a murder investigation, sending shockwaves through Weatherfield.

Over the coming weeks, a series of exhilarating flashbacks will help viewers piece the puzzle together.

And the police try to solve one of the street’s biggest ever Whodunnits.

Officially the detective now leading the case, Kit begins his investigation by informing both Lauren (Cait Fitton) and Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown), the two women whose lives Joel threatened to destroy with his abuse and lies, of his murder. 

But as the mystery deepens, these stylised flashbacks will reveal just how many people are in the frame, as viewers revisit the night of September 27th when Joel went missing.

He was not a well liked man!

As a number of Coronation Street favourites fall under suspicion, the suspects will be highlighted on a crime wall photo.

The first to be revealed this week are Ronnie (Vinta Morgan), uncle of Joel’s wronged fiance Dee-Dee.

And Mason (Luca Toolan), the bad boy bully from the wrong side of town who has seemingly been turning his life around in recent weeks.  

In Wednesday’s episode, viewers will watch the first climactic flashback as we return to that fateful night when Joel disappeared and watch events unfold. 

As the evidence mounts, we’ll see Kit pulled in all directions, while DS Swain (Vicky Myers), who was made to take a step back from the case, sets about her own inquiries.

As the plot thickens with many more twists and turns to come, who was really responsible for Joel’s death.

How long will it take Kit and Lisa to catch the killer?

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 or stream at 7am on ITVX.

Corrie's most famous villains

  • Richard Hillman (Brian Capron) – arguably the most famous villain in soap history. The character has multiple killings to his name. Richard left his former business partner Duggie Ferguson (John Bowe) to die before he murdered his ex-wife Patricia (Annabelle Apsion) who threatened to expose his dodgy dealings. He attempted to kill his mother-in-law Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) by setting her house on fire. He later killed her co-worker Maxine Peacock (Tracy Shaw) after she caught him in the act of attempting to strike Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire) with a crowbar. Eventually he confessed his crimes to Gail (Helen Worth) before driving the Platt family into the canal. They all survived, but Richard drowned.
  • Mad Maya (Sasha Behar) – She may not have the most kills to her name, but no true Corrie fan will be able to forget ‘Mad Maya’s’ stint. Maya Sharma first started out as an innocent lawyer. However her true nature was revealed when she kidnapped Tyronne’s () dog and threatened to kill Dev Alahan () unless he proposed. Things soon turn nasty when Sunita () received the news that she has a brain tumour. The pair rekindle their romance and they end up getting married. However, Maya ruined their big day by reporting Sunita to the police for bigamy. Not done there, she plans to kill them both as she sets fire to all of Dev’s shop empire and trapping them both upstairs after she set fire to the corner shop with the gas and stove on. When they are miraculously rescued, she attempts to run them over.
  • Pat Pheelan (Connor McIntyre) – Pat was introduced as an acquaintance of Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies), before embarking on a revenge plot. He creates a fraudulent property scheme which caused the death of Michael Rodwell (Les Dennis). He kidnapped Andy Carver (Oliver Farnworth) and Vinny Ashford (Ian Kelsey). This was before he framed his arch-nemesis Anna Windass for GBH after he pushed Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) off a ladder. He then murdered both Any as well as Luke Britton (Dean Fagan). He eventually met a gruesome end when he held most of the residents of the street hostage in the Bistro. He was stabbed by Anna Windass after he shot Michelle (Kym Marsh).
  • Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew) – Geoff started off as the innocent father to Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) and he was a local Weatherfield celebrity owing to his radio show and his ‘The Great Magnifico’ magic act. He later embarked on a romantic relationship and married with Yasmeen (Shelley King). However, he had a nasty streak as he controlled her in every way. He made sure she was reliant on him for everything including financially, he constantly bullied and belittled her, locked her in the magician’s box despite the fact she was claustrophobic, and he even forced her to eat her own pet chicken. Later she snapped and stabbed him in the neck. This was before she was arrested for attempted murder. However, his nearest and dearest soon discovered his true nature and they turned against him. He tried to sabotage the trial by threatening his ex-wife, but she stood up to him in an epic court showdown. After Yasmeen was released, Geoff died shortly after when he set fire to their home and fell off the roof.
  • Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede) – Kirsty was first seen on Corrie on a night out when Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain) paid her to flirt with Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall). Later she makes her interest very clear and they end up together. After she gets sacked from her job as a policewoman, Tyrone gets her a job at Underworld factory as a packer. She is utterly horrified and she lashed out at Tyrone with a ladle. Kirsty apologised and Tyrone pretended to all his friends the injuries were accidental. However, this pattern continued. Over several incidents she forced him up against a door, smashed household plates and pictures, bruised him after beating him with a vacuum cleaner, throws a candlestick at his head and she locks him inside the house. However, one time she tried to hit him but she lost her balance and fell down the stairs. She lies to the police and tells them that it was Tyrone who was beating her. Tyrone was put in prison after he broke bail conditions when he went on the run with his daughter. During the period of the trial, she struggles to look after baby Ruby. She throws a cup at Julie (Katy Cavanagh) before exposing her own behaviour by slapping her. Kirst then stormed into the courtroom and confessed that she was the monster, not Tyrone.
