Some viewers believe they’ve already pieced together what happened to Joel, suggesting a killer may have been inadvertently revealed. When we last saw Joel over a week ago, one character was behaving rather oddly, reports the Mirror. Not only were they concealing a mysterious injury, but they also seemed eager to close the case as quickly as possible, pushing for a suicide verdict. DS Swain has caught the attention of fans, particularly since her daughter Betsy Swain was duped into assisting Joel, who then attacked her. Before he disappeared, he even threatened to kill the teenager – so could Swain have murdered Joel out of revenge? Some fans certainly think so, convinced they’ve already identified Joel’s killer. One took to social media, saying: “Knew it! It was Swain! ” Another wrote: “Swain had sore ribs the other day”. A third penned: “A lot of people thinking that Swain could be Joel’s murderer. I have a horrible feeling that she is too following her signs of pain a few weeks ago. I think she had an altercation with him before he died.”

Other potential culprits include Dee-Dee’s family Ed and Ronnie Bailey, Kit Green, Betsy Swain and anyone else who wanted Joel out of the picture. Even his own father Gus finds himself under the spotlight. However, some viewers are still holding onto the belief that he isn’t really dead. Monday’s episode might just change their minds once they see the plot unfold. Now that Joel’s death has been confirmed, we’re about to discover who in Weatherfield has been hiding secrets and what those secrets might be. It’s believed several residents will come under scrutiny, with some likely trying to hide something. But the question remains – who really killed Joel and is he truly dead?Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
