The actress joined the ITV soap just a few months ago as the daughter of DS Lisa Swain and is already in the thick of the drama

Coronation Street star Sydney Martin has asked fans a eight-word question as fans think they have exposed Betsy Swain’s latest move. The actress joined the ITV soap just a few months ago as the daughter of DS Lisa Swain and is already in the thick of the drama.

Sydney had already popped up in the programme over the summer, simply referred to as Sabrina Adetiba’s mate. But it wasn’t until later that it was confirmed she was Betsy as she quickly became involved by serial groomer Joel Deering.

Now, a murder investigation is underway after Joel’s body was found – but Betsy’s mum is off the case after the solicitor’s messages in which he threatened to kill the teen were uncovered by Swain’s colleague Kit Green.

During Monday night’s episode (October 14) of Corrie, viewers saw three lads at a riverbank spotting a body floating in the water. PC Craig Tinker soon approached DS Lisa Swain and Kit Green and announced that they’d found Joel’s body.

As the news was broken to the likes of Lauren and Dee-Dee, it was Kit who later confirmed Joel was dead when he went in the water, turning the case into a murder investigation.

The in Wednesday’s (October 16) trip to the cobbles, Kit revealed to Lisa that Joel died from two blows to the head, inflicted by a heavy weapon, most likely a crowbar.

Following the piece of information, Lisa was shocked to discover from Yasmeen Metcalfe that she had thrown Mason Radcliffe out because he had a crowbar. Swain went back to the station to encourage Kit to look into the possible lead and later, as the teen disposed of the tool in a bin, he was caught in the act by Kit.

Hauled in for question, Kit asked Mason who admitted he threw out the crowbar after refusing to do a burglary for his brothers and was squatting in Speed Daal alone on the night Joel was killed, with them claiming he could have done it due to his relationship with Betsy.

Despite Mason’s denial about caring for Betsy, it was revealed that the Weatherfield High bully wasn’t telling the truth as a flashback clip showed him being visited by Betsy, with her in tears and scared that Joel was going to come after her before Mason vowed to protect her.

Following the scenes, Sydney shared a post from Corrie’s official Instagram page and asked: “Would Mason go that far to protect Betsy?” adding a broken heart emoji.

But some fans are convinced Betsy is responsible for Joel’s demise. @sam_farmer2 said:” Betsy killed him.” @lizhodgkinson commented: “I’ve got a feeling it could be Betsy or. Ronnie?” @gregayala0010 wrote: “I think Ronnie murdered Joel or it could be Betsy who murdered him.” @jonathondexter94 added: “People are overlooking how Swain felt sick and was in pain a couple weeks ago…maybe Betsy was being attacked and killed Joel in self defence and Swain dumped the body…”
