Coronation Street has revealed the next suspect in the Joel Deering murder case - and fans may not be surprised. It's been a couple of weeks now since the solicitor's body was found after he went missing.

Joel's disappearance was revealed after he failed to show his face in court. In the ITV soap scenes aired at the end of September, a warrant was issued for Joel's arrest as he was seemingly set to face his comeuppance for his twisted crimes, which included grooming Lauren Bolton.

But, after transferring money to Lauren, how the mother of his son Frankie and his ex-wife Emily, and leaving an emotional voicemail for his former fiancee Dee-Dee Bailey, Joel's car was found abandoned and it was believed Joel may have ended up taking his own life.

So far, Dee-Dee, her dad Ed and her uncle Ronnie have been put in the frame, as has Swain, Mason Radcliffe and more recently Carla Connor.
