The residents of Coronation Street were in for a shocking revelation next week when the body of a major character, Joel Deering, was found dead and it was confirmed that he was murdered. Craig Tinker and Kit Green were determined to make progress in the case and decided to scour the CCTV footage of a train station car park. To their surprise, they spotted Joel and his father, Gus, near a locker. This led to Kit taking Gus in for questioning, where he was hit with a shocking truth.
Meanwhile, three lads discovered a body in the water from a riverbank and Craig wasted no time in informing Kit and DS Lisa Swain that they had found Joel's body. Lisa and Kit were shocked to hear this news as Joel had been missing since September 27 and it was believed that he had staged his own suicide. While Lisa was certain of Joel's death being a suicide, Dee-Dee Bailey was convinced that it was all a setup.
As Kit prepared himself to break the news to Dee-Dee and Lauren Bolton, Lisa announced Joel's death to the Rovers' punters. Later on, Kit visited the hospital to give Lauren some shocking news from the post-mortem - Joel was already dead before he entered the water. This revelation turned Joel's death into a murder investigation, but the question remained - who was responsible?
Kit questioned Lauren about her whereabouts on the night of Joel's death while Dee-Dee broke the news to Ed and Ronnie Bailey that Joel had been killed. Despite Lisa being taken off the case, Kit kept her updated by revealing that Joel had been struck twice in the head with a heavy weapon, possibly a crowbar. When Lisa discovered from Yasmeen Metcalfe that she had thrown out Mason Radcliffe for having a crowbar, she warned Betsy Swain to stay away from him.
Mason, who had been warned by Betsy about the police being onto him, tried to get rid of the crowbar behind the factory but ended up getting caught in the act by Kit. Elsewhere, Dee-Dee updated Ed and Ronnie with this new information about the crowbar. Ronnie's good mood turned sour when Kit arrived to question him and Ed about Joel's murder, especially after having his surprise 55th birthday party plans ruined by Debbie Webster. Ronnie claimed he was alone on the night of Joel's murder, while Ed said he was at No.3 with Dee-Dee and Michael Bailey. However, Ronnie's lie was exposed when Ryan revealed that they had actually used his car to help Joel move out of his flat. Debbie was left wondering what else Ronnie was hiding and what she should do about it.
