Joel Deering in Coronation Street is the latest whodunnit victim, with the ITV soap’s new murder storyline kicking off on Monday night.
The villain was finally about to face justice for his crimes, including him trying to kill Lauren Bolton’s unborn baby, when he vanished. The police believed he may have taken his own life after a suspicious note was found along with his abandoned car.
Monday night will see a horror update for those involved with Joel, as his body is found in a river. Soon news reaches the street about his demise, according to spoilers released last week.
But with his body comes another discovery, and soon officers are announcing he has been murdered. No killer is revealed, but a weapon and a likely cause of death are confirmed.
It’s revealed this week that Joel was already dead before he hit the water, and that he sustained two blows to the head. So someone, or maybe more than one person, killed him and then either pushed him into the water or he fell in.
But who really killed Joel and is he actually dead? The death is confirmed with actor Calum Lill leaving his role. His body is found this week and a cause of death is established.

As for who kills him, this remains to be unknown. A number of suspects including Lauren, DS Swain and Dee-Dee Bailey will no doubt be revealed, after they all act suspiciously.
Other suspects include Dee-Dee’s family Ed and Ronnie Bailey, Kit Green, Betsy Swain and anyone else that wanted to see the back of him. His own father Gus is called in for questioning too.
That said, viewers are still convinced he isn’t dead. Monday’s episode may change that opinion once they see the storyline kick off, but it is soap land after all.
With Joel now dead, we’re about to find out who in Weatherfield is and isn’t keeping secrets and what they might be. It’s thought several residents will face suspicion and questioning, with some likely trying to cover up something.
Just weeks ago fans were suspicious of Dee-Dee after she began acting out of character, amid her turmoil over Joel’s lies. Then there was DS Swain who appeared to be hiding an injury, with no clue as to how she got it, while there was also a text clue about Betsy which revealed Joel had threatened to kill her.
