Wednesday's episode saw Max Turner (Paddy Bever) hand himself in, claiming he'd killed Joel.
But was he telling the truth or are there more twists on the way?
Meanwhile, some viewers admitted they felt "cheated" by the whodunnit storyline.
Taking to Reddit, one fumed: "Having Joel get killed was a big miss from Corrie imo, as has been pointed out it’s become a crutch for the writing team to kill the big villain off."
Another noted a pattern developing from other recent Corrie baddies.
They wrote: "Between Joel, Phelan, Geoff, and Stephen, I mostly expect abuse storylines to end in death now … it says to me they’re too lazy to write a decent ending or they’re all rating stunts."
Joel Deering murder suspects
Since the body of the twisted solicitor was found, Coronation Street bosses have release an official whodunit lineup
A third sniped: "I am not surprised with the way they’ve chosen to take Joel’s storyline, unfortunately, and despite Swain not being allowed to take the case, I’m sure she’s going to be ingratiated in it somehow again.
"I’m positive she saw Joel being killed."
