A NEW suspect emerged as a Weatherfield resident was found badly bruised in Coronation Street.

With the police still struggling to crack the case as to who murdered Joel Deering (Calum Lill), tonight another piece of evidence was revealed to viewers as a dramatic flashback put DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) in

the frame.

While DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) has been heading up the murder investigation, Lisa refused to step away from the investigation.

Corrie viewers saw Lisa in tears when she was alone in the bathroom examining some intense bruising on her ribs and back, before a flashback showed her chasing someone through the precinct on the night of Joel’s death.

Is Lisa trying to cover her own tracks? Or was someone else responsible for killing Joel?

Upcoming scenes will see Lisa’s teenage daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) question her mum over the bruises.

When Betsy walks into the bathroom and sees Lisa’s bruises, she is not convinced about her excuse of doing it at a body combat class.

Later, the teen will find a bottle of painkillers dated September 28th.

When she tells Mason (Luca Toolan) about the discovery, the pair are left stunned when he says Joel was killed on the 27th.

Then Daisy (Charlotte Jordan) mentions Joel was in a fight on the night he was killed.

Betsy is left shaken as she begins to put two and two together and fears the worst.

After being confronted, Lisa lies to Betsy, making out her bruises were the result of an office injury.

As truths begin to unravel, Carla admits to Bobby (Jack Carroll) that on the night of Joel’s murder, she nipped to the factory.

But, she told the police she was at home all evening with him and Ryan (Ryan Prescott).

Is there more than meets the eye regarding Carla and Lisa’s recent connection?

Could the secret they are hiding run much deeper and darker than love?
