Coronation Street's Calum Lill's new job spotted on ITV after soap exit as Joel Deering

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Coronation Street star Calum Lill has been seen taking on a very different role following his soap exit. The actor hasn't spoken out on leaving the ITV soap as Joel Deering just yet.

And while fans of the long-running show are still hopeful he may return, there is currently a 'whodunnit' underway in Weatherfield after the solicitor's body was found.

Joel's disappearance was first 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.

That theory quickly changed when the police investigation turned into solving Joel's murder after his body was found floating down a river before it was then confirmed he'd been killed with a heavy weapon before entering the water.
