We all knew that Coronation Street’s this carpenter (Bill Fellows) wasn’t guilty of murder because he’s Stu Carpenter and he’s beautiful.

However, being nice doesn’t in itself prove innocence, so the Nazir family went to great lengths to prove that Stu was wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of a waitress named Charlie.

On tonight’s episode, there was a breakthrough when Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) discovered that there was no trace of Stu’s DNA on Charlie’s bag, found at the crime scene next to her body. What was needed after that was another DNA analysis of the bag, but Dee-Dee Alya (Sair Khan) advised that it would cost a lot of money.

Meanwhile, Stu was over the moon when his daughter Bridget (Beth Vyse) brought his granddaughter Eliza (Savannah Kunyo) to meet him at Speed ​​Daal. The meeting went well. Stu gave the little girl a necklace and was delighted when she replied, “Thanks, Grandpa.”

“This is the best day ever,” Stu told his daughter.

His happiness was short-lived, however, as it wasn’t long before Stu’s ex-wife Lucy (Lynda Rooke) showed up and insisted that her daughter and granddaughter leave immediately. “Did Grandpa tell you about the dinners at the prison?” she said cruelly to the little girl.

Alya was suspicious that Lucy might hide vital information about the case and told Dee-Dee of her concerns.

And it looks like she might be on the right track, because later we saw Lucy warn Bridget to “keep her trap shut in the future,” warning her that she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life behind bars.

“If you ever get emotional again and spit your guts out at Daddy…” she warned. “Point out – no more misstep.”

Did Lucy just reveal that she was Charlie’s killer?

And has Bridget been hiding the secret all these years and blaming Stu for something she knows he didn’t do?
