Coronation Street tonight saw Dee-Dee placed as the prime suspect in the Joel murder investigation.
In Friday’s episode (October 18) we saw a series of flashbacks which showed Dee-Dee approaching Joel with a crowbar on the night of his murder.
The scenes came out after some proving that Ronnie and Ed did, in fact, not murder Joel.

Coronation Street: Dee-Dee flashbacks
In tonight’s episode, Debbie Webster set about arranging a surprise party for Ronnie’s 55th birthday. While the surprise didn’t go to plan, Ronnie received a shock in another form.
He started off his day being sharply questioned by Kit about his whereabouts on the night of Joel’s murder. Ronnie insisted he was home alone the night Joel went missing, while Ed claimed he was at No.3 with Dee-Dee and Michael.
Later, Ronnie explained he last used the satnav when he and Michael helped Joel move out of his flat ages ago, which explains why Joel’s address was there.
At the party Michael revealed they actually drove to Joel’s flat in his car that time, Debbie realises Ronnie lied to her.
Earlier this week, we saw strange flashbacks during which Ronnie realised a crowbar was involved. We saw an unidentifiable figure rummage through a tool shed for the weapon. At first, it appeared to be from Ronnie’s perspective.
However, tonight we learnt through more flashbacks that Ronnie and Ed broke into Joel’s house the night he was murdered. But Joel was not there, having already left in an attempt to flee.
