Coronation Street fans might have caught a significant clue regarding Joel Deering’s killer during Wednesday night’s episode. Although it could potentially be a misleading hint, viewers are left wondering if the show has inadvertently revealed the murderer in a surprising twist.
While the storyline has been presented as a whodunnit with various suspects, some of whom remain unidentified, it seems the show might have given away the answer ahead of time. During the episode, Mason Radcliffe was brought in for police questioning after he was seen disposing of a crowbar, believed to be the weapon used in Joel’s murder.
Joel’s body was discovered in a river, with reports indicating he had sustained two fatal blows to the head.
Detective Kit Green revealed Joe’s flat door had been busted too with a heavy weapon like a crowbar. The same tool was thought to be the murder weapon, with Mason seen holding one.
Although Mason had his own flashback revealing a potential motive for killing Joel, the storyline hinted that he might not be the actual murderer. In fact, another character was also shown to have secretly possessed a crowbar on the night of Joel’s death, raising questions about their involvement in the crime. This twist adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing investigation and keeps viewers guessing about the true identity of the killer.
Ronnie Bailey continued to raise eyebrows on Wednesday, just one episode after confirming that he and his brother Ed were hiding something. Given that he had a motive stemming from Joel’s betrayal of his niece Dee-Dee Bailey, viewers began to wonder if Ronnie had sought revenge.
His suspicious behavior was evident when he told Ed they needed to keep their secret hidden from everyone. Then, in a flashback on Wednesday night, it was revealed that he may have been at Joel’s flat on the night of the murder. The flashback showed Ronnie angrily searching through a toolbox in Ed’s builder’s yard, where he ultimately discovered a crowbar and raised it in the air, hinting at his potential involvement in Joel’s fate.
It’s revealed that Joel’s flat was broken into, and a spoiler for Friday’s episode hints that Ronnie’s car was parked outside the flat the night Joel disappeared. We also know that a crowbar was the murder weapon, and Ronnie had access to one on the night of the killing.
The episode concluded with Ronnie appearing quite guilty, leading viewers to wonder if this could be the clue that confirms his involvement in Joel’s death. Could he have delivered one of the fatal blows, or is it possible that he acted alongside another person who also harmed Joel? The plot thickens as the mystery unfolds!
