While DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) has been heading up the murder investigation, Lisa refused to step away from the investigation.

Corrie viewers saw Lisa in tears when she was alone in the bathroom examining some intense bruising on her ribs and back, before a flashback showed her chasing someone through the precinct on the night of Joel’s death.

Is Lisa trying to cover her own tracks? Or was someone else responsible for killing Joel?

Upcoming scenes will see Lisa’s teenage daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) question her mum over the bruises.

When Betsy walks into the bathroom and sees Lisa’s bruises, she is not convinced about her excuse of doing it at a body combat class.

Later, the teen will find a bottle of painkillers dated September 28th.

When she tells Mason (Luca Toolan) about the discovery, the pair are left stunned when he says Joel was killed on the 27th.

Then Daisy (Charlotte Jordan) mentions Joel was in a fight on the night he was killed.

Betsy is left shaken as she begins to put two and two together and fears the worst.

After being confronted, Lisa lies to Betsy, making out her bruises were the result of an office injury.

As truths begin to unravel, Carla admits to Bobby (Jack Carroll) that on the night of Joel’s murder, she nipped to the factory.

But, she told the police she was at home all evening with him and Ryan (Ryan Prescott).

Is there more than meets the eye regarding Carla and Lisa’s recent connection?

Could the secret they are hiding run much deeper and darker than love?

Darkest soap storylines

Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…

EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.

Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.

Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.

Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
