Coronation Street fans ‘reveal’ new theory behind Joel murder saying he’ll make shock return at Xmas – and ISN’T dead
CORONATION Street fans have ‘revealed’ a new theory about Joel Deering – and they’re convinced he’ll make a shock return.
Fans of the long-running ITV soap watched as the evil villain apparently met his fate September.
Joel’s lies and crimes had been exposed and was set to face justice before skipping court.
Scenes then showed the character – played by Calum Lill – say goodbye to Dee Dee Bailey as a nasty cut could be seen on his face.
It was later revealed Joel had been killed off screen as it was revealed the solicitor had been murdered.
But now eagle-eyed Coronation Street fans are convinced he’s not actually dead – and will return at Christmas.
As police officer Kit Taylor is put in charge of the case, viewers think he has secretly blackmailed Joel’s father into identifying a body that’s not is.
They’re also sure he’s blackmailed him for the bag of money that was sitting in the locker.
Meanwhile, fans have learnt that Kit is now in the frame for Joel’s murder and has joined the list of suspects.
In tonight’s Coronation Street, viewers will see the waters further muddied when a shock flashback takes them back to the night of September 27.
It will show a clearly agitated Kit deleting a phone call while snatching a bottle of whiskey from the Rovers bar.
Where was Kit those moments prior and what does he need to take the edge off?
A second flashback will reveal all as viewers see Kit on the wrong side of the law once more, leaving viewers wondering if the Weatherfield cop is actually the killer?
