Spoilers have revealed Dee-Dee Bailey confesses to killing her ex Joel Deering next week on the ITV soap, but a past scene could prove her innocence

A past scene on Coronation Street may have ruled out Dee-Dee Bailey as Joel Deering’s killer, despite her confessing to the murder in an upcoming episode.

Spoilers for the ITV soap show Dee-Dee is set to identify herself as Joel’s murderer as the guilt becomes too much. Devastated by the death, she will break down and admit the truth to her father Ed in scenes set to air next week.

Dee-Dee will admit she was the one who attacked and killed Joel with a crowbar, after a flashback recently showed her tracking him down. It also showed her screaming and crying, as she washed blood off of the weapon and from her hands.

Since then viewers have witnessed her ‘acting weirdly’, leading to Kit Green suspecting she is the killer. After confessing to her dad, Dee-Dee vows to hand herself into the police claiming to be Joel’s killer.

Ed tries to stop his daughter from revealing all, but will he manage to keep her quiet? But there is now a chance that Dee-Dee isn’t actually the killer, reports the Mirror.

Normally in the ITV soap, a killer reveal remains top secret until the episode airs when the truth comes to light. But what could rule Dee-Dee out is a past scene that aired weeks ago.

After Joel’s body was found in a river, something detective Kit said may have provided more information about how Joel died. Kit claimed that Joel was attacked with a heavy item like a crowbar, before he was pushed or had fallen into the water. It was confirmed he died prior to hitting the water, meaning he was definitely killed.

What is interesting is that Kit emphasised on the fact Joel sustained two fatal blows to the head, with it almost implied that he was attacked twice. Of course one person could have dealt both blows with the same weapon, resulting in Joel’s demise.

But something about the way Kit emphasised on these two hits to the head makes it seem that two people hit him. So does this mean Dee-Dee is innocent, as someone else would have hit Joel too? Unless of course Dee-Dee was this second person.

It comes amid speculation that DS Lisa Swain or her daughter Betsy will be confirmed as the killer. Both characters are tipped to be the person who killed Joel after hints in recent episodes.
