Coronation Street: Max confessed to killing Joel

This evening, after Lisa Swain was freed following her night stay in a cell, Carla told Dee-Dee and Lisa that she’d seen Lauren and Max with Joel’s suitcase on the night of his death.

She’d previously visited the pair at the hospital but they failed to explain themselves, prompting Carla to go to the police.

With the police desperate to speak to Lauren and Max, the pair started planning their escape plan. Max told Lauren to fetch supplies for Frankie and meet him in twenty minutes, ready to catch a ferry and start a new life together where nobody knew them.

However, Lauren then returned to the old flat to find a letter from Max… he’d handed himself into the police for Joel’s death.

He then told Kit in a police interview room that he had a fight with Joel but had hit him on the head with a rock in self-defence.

Max then pushed Joel’s body off the railway tracks and over a bridge after confirming that he was dead, with his dead body then landing in the river.

At the police station, a horrified David saw Max head down to his cell…
