Joel Deering’s killer confesses in Coronation Street – but all is not as it seems
CORONATION Street viewers will finally be told who killed Joel Deering, but it's left many questions unanswered.
ITV viewers have already watched on Coronation Street as clues have been hinting at who was behind Joel's grisly end.
Last night viewers watched as Daisy helps Kit pack, before she noticed an almost empty whisky bottle.
When Ryan then told her how Kit pumped him for information about her likes and dislikes, proving he’s manipulative and not to be trusted, Daisy confronted Kit.
Kit instinctively lied, making out that after Paul’s funeral, he felt the need to get drunk.
Panicking, Kit then revealed to Lisa that they found an unsent message on her phone suggesting she wanted Joel dead.

In the lead up to the killer being revealed, many Weatherfield residents have been hinted at being behind the death.
Fingers have firmly been pointed at Ronnie and Dee-Dee Bailey as well as Lisa Swain and Carla Connor, who could have been in it together.
Viewers have seen Betsey, Mason and Ryan all question if both Lisa and Carla are telling the truth and if they could have been involved.

History of the Coronation Street set
By Jake Penkethman, TV Reporter
1960-1968 - Whilst the Coronation Street set remained on Quay Street for 53 years, it actually had three separate studio sites. The first was an entirely indoor wooden set which was used for the first eight years of filming. This encompassed a replica of the Street built entirely indoors. The set was known to be awkward for actors to use and the houses brought to three quarter scale.
1968-1982 - In 1968, the addition of an outdoor set was created to adjoin the existing indoor set which was still used for filming right up until 1982. The set was used only when required with many of the show's cast reportedly hating it and describing it as 'the coldest place on Earth'.
1982-2013 - A brand new set was officially constructed in 1982 and was almost built fully to scale but still only permitted for one car to drive down the cobbled street. The house were purpose-built using reclaimed Salford brick in order to give it the most authentic feel possible. During these years, some of the show's buildings were adapted to allow for both interior and exterior filming at the same time. These locations included Elliott's Butchers, Barlow's Buys, Prima Doner and Webster's Autos. The final scenes to be recorded on this site occurred in December 2013. By early 2014, it began operating as a tourist attraction for around two years before ultimately being demolished and re-purposed in 2017.
2014-present - In early 2014, the show's set moved to the TV hub of the North - MediaCityUK in nearby Salford Quays. It is now located a stone's throw from major TV studio Dock 10 as well as the BBC's base in the North - home to Blue Peter, Newsround, BBC Breakfast and BBC Sport. The new set was even bigger and built to 9/10 the scale of a real street and allowed for two card to be travelling down the road at opposite sides for the very first time. The site has even undergone major expansions during its 10 years. Just four years after opening in 2018, a brand new set extension was unveiled which introduced viewers to Victoria Gardens for the first time in its history. The Weatherfield North tram stop also became visible as did a series of shops which became used as part of product placement advertising deals. Brands to have been seen on the Street so far include a Co-Op, a Costa Coffee and a branch of Hay's Travel. Four years later in 2022, another brand new set was unveiled, this time being the heavily mentioned Weatherfield Precinct. It became the first time in 62 years that the area had ever been seen on screens. It fearued a variety of shop fronts, a playground and a number of small flats which have begun to house more and more residents on the street in recent months.
