UPCOMING Coronation Street scenes see Kit Green left unnerved after making a startling discovery.
The police detective – played by Jacob Roberts – arrived on the ITV soap earlier this year.
In scenes yet to air, Kit is investigating Joel’s (Calum Lill) laptop and downloads files.
Horrified by what he finds, he calls colleague DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).
At the station, he admits to struggling to make any headway with the Joel Deering investigation.
Last week, Corrie seemingly aired evil Joel’s final scenes as the villain skipped court.
Joel had been due to face justice, having been charged with his crimes.
Betsy (Sydney Martin) had secretly recorded the villain, incriminating him enough for her mother Lisa to arrest him.
Former fiancee Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) arrived in court to face Joel while he entered his plea.
However, the twisted solicitor was nowhere to be seen – leaving both viewers and Weatherfield residents on edge.
Joel turned up drunk at Roy’s Rolls where he threatened Roy (David Neilson) but fled when Carla (Alison King) intervened.
Earlier this year, Roy went to prison after being charged with Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) disappearance – which Joel was responsible for.
In his final scenes, Joel had a large cut on his cheek as he rang Dee-Dee from an unknown location.
He told her: “Hi Dee Dee, it’s me. I just want to say one thing.
“I still love you so much. We always hurt the one we love, right?
“I know there’s no way back after everything but, maybe there’s something that I can still do to make you and everyone else happy.”
Actor Callum Lill’s exit from the cobbles was previously confirmed in August.
A source said at the time: “Calum has made a huge impact as Joel over the last year but he always knew it would be for a fixed term.
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.
After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.
Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.
Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.
Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.
Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.
The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.
It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.
Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.
Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.
“He’s been great playing Joel but all good soap villains must get their comeuppance and Joel’s is coming very soon.
“He’s already landed his first job after the show and so he’ll be finished in time to start rehearsals for that.
“But on-screen Joel has no idea what’s coming for him as his dark secrets start to be exposed.”
Coronation Street airs on ITV and is available on ITVX.
