Coronation Street will confirm the identity of Joel Deering’s killer next week.

The ongoing mystery will be resolved in a special episode due to air on Friday, November 15.

Fans have been busy speculating over who is responsible for Joel’s grisly fate after his body was found in a river last month.

A post-mortem revealed that Joel was already dead when he hit the water, having suffered blows to the head from an attacker with a crowbar.

In recent weeks, Corrie has aired brief flashback scenes showcasing the motives and whereabouts of several major suspects on the night that Joel was killed.

The show’s episode on November 15 will now fill in the blanks, with further flashbacks shown amid some intense police questioning from DC Kit Green.

The official synopsis for the episode reads: “In this exciting episode, a series of flashbacks from the night of Joel’s murder are interspersed with Kit’s police interviews as the viewers finally get the view from the bridge and discover who delivered the final blow that really killed Joel.”

In the meantime, this week’s episodes see Dee-Dee Bailey confess to her father Ed that she’s the one who killed Joel, although with more twists and turns ahead beyond that, it’s highly likely that there’s more to the story that she’s currently unaware of.

Other key suspects who have been named so far include Mason Radcliffe, Ed Bailey, Ronnie Bailey, DS Lisa Swain and Carla Connor.

Kit himself is also a suspect, as he’s keeping his own sly secrets over the evening of Joel’s death.

Coronation Street airs the big reveal episode on Friday, November 15 on ITV1 and ITVX.
