It's official - Lisa Swain is now a suspect in the shocking murder of Joel in tonight's episode of Coronation Street. But before we dive into the details, be warned: this article contains spoilers for those who haven't yet watched the episode, which is available to watch now on ITVX.
The latest instalment of the beloved soap has confirmed Lisa as the fifth official suspect in Joel's murder case through a dramatic flashback scene. Viewers finally got the answers they were waiting for about Lisa's whereabouts on the night of Joel's death, as well as the mysterious injuries she has been hiding.
In the previous episode, it was clear that Lisa was in a lot of physical pain, leaving fans to speculate that she may have been involved in some kind of altercation - possibly with Joel himself. However, in tonight's episode, we finally learn the truth about what really happened to her that night.
Lisa, who was taken off Joel's case after his threats towards Betsy Swain came to light, continued to carry on with her police work. Though she was less than thrilled to be dealing with a case involving a stolen catalytic converter and damaged vehicle, things took an unexpected turn when she discovered that the damaged car was on the same road as Joel's flat and the incident occurred on the same night as his murder.
Determined to find any lead that could help solve the case, Lisa promised to get forensics to examine the scratches on the car. As the owner of the vehicle revealed that he had heard two men fighting that night, Lisa became even more invested in the case. And when she found out that Ronnie Bailey's red car had recently been in for a repair, she couldn't resist confronting him about it at the Rovers - much to Dee-Dee Bailey's shock.
Later, while at the Bistro with Carla Connor, Lisa opened up about her encounter with Ronnie and how she may have come on too strong with him. But when Carla tried to give her a comforting hug, Lisa flinched away and quickly left, leaving Carla feeling hurt and confused. However, it soon becomes clear to viewers why Lisa reacted the way she did.
In a heart-wrenching scene, Lisa is seen examining some painful looking bruises in her bathroom mirror before a flashback reveals her chasing someone through the precinct with her police baton, screaming for them to stop. As a car engine revved in the background, Lisa lunged forward with her baton, but what happened next remains a mystery.
The question on everyone's mind now is: was Lisa chasing Joel that night? Did she attack him? Could she be Joel's killer? As the investigation continues, viewers will have to wait and see how the story unfolds.
