Coronation Street's Max star admits 'relief' over 'terrifying' Joel Deering killer secret after five-word verdict from fans

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Coronation Street star Paddy Bever has admitted his 'relief' at his character's killer secret being revealed as he was charged with the murder of Joel Deering - but is it all as it seems?

Weatherfield's biggest whodunnit has been underway ever since the solicitor's body was found last month. As fans of the ITV soap know, Joel first went missing at the end of September.

The news was revealed when he failed to show up to court where it was thought that he'd face comeuppance for some of his twisted crimes.

But after transferring money to Lauren Bolton, his grooming victim and now the mother of his son Frankie, and his ex-wife Emily, as well leaving an emotional voicemail for his former fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey, it was believed Joel may have taken his own life after his car was found abandoned.
