In earlier episodes, it was revealed that Joel was already dead when he hit the water.

Dee-Dee Bailey is set to confess she attacked Joel with a crowbar after finding out he was planning on leaving Weatherfield to escape justice for his crimes.

Overwhelmed by guilt, Dee-Dee goes to the police despite her father Ed pleading with her not to.

As the soap prepares to reveal what really happened to Joel in a special flashback episode airing on November 15, it seems there may be another culprit who finished off the job after Dee-Dee fled.

Several characters want to see Joel gone, after all.

The list of suspects includes Lisa and Dee-Dee's dad Ed, Ronnie Bailey, Carla and Mason Radcliffe.

Kit is also keeping a secret regarding the evening of Joel's death. Earlier this week, a Corrie scene from the night of Joel's murder saw the shady detective in an agitated state as he deleted a phone call and swiped a bottle of whiskey from the Rovers bar.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
