Yahoo News Coronation Street announces live ITVX special for Joel murder reveal
Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street will air a live ITVX special following the revelation of Joel Deering's murderer.
The soap has spent the last several weeks teasing how Joel died on September 27 – with Mason Radcliffe, Ed Bailey, Ronnie Bailey, DS Lisa Swain, Carla Connor, DS Kit Green and Dee-Dee Bailey emerging as official suspects.
ITV has now confirmed viewers will finally get their answers next Friday (November 15) from 8pm with an hour-long episode, followed by a special after-show, Coronation Street Live - Killer on the Cobbles, on ITVX at 9pm.
This Morning's soap expert Sharon Marshall will be joined from the cobbles by Coronation Street cast members to share their reactions to the killer twist.
The soap has also added two new suspects to the line-up, as it will be revealed that Max Turner and Lauren Bolton will have some questions to answer about the night Joel died.

A new flashback will shed more light on Carla's whereabouts at the time of Joel's death, as she was previously shown spotting someone mysterious outside of the factory.
An upcoming flashback scene, airing in Monday's (November 11) episode, will reveal that Carla had actually seen Max and Lauren. Viewers will have to tune in to find out why Max and Lauren were outside the factory in the dead of night.
Lauren would certainly have reason to want Joel dead since he had been threatening her over the custody of their newborn son Frankie before his demise.
It was revealed earlier in the year that Lauren temporarily fled the cobbles to escape Joel's horrific abuse, sparking an investigation into whether she'd been killed.
