ITV Corrie fans play detective as they think they've worked out major twist in Stu murder storyline

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Mild-mannered Speed Daal chef Stu Carpenter was revealed as a murderer in shock scenes on Friday night. Viewers were left reeling from the news and his horrified love interest Yasmeen Metcalfe told her granddaughter Alya she never wants to see Stu again.

Soap watchers previously saw Stu come face-to-face with his daughter Bridget after Yasmeen tracked down her address. But he received a less than warm welcome with Bridget ordering her dad to leave in the ITV soap.

Later Stu mysteriously told Yasmeen that it was the wrong address, leaving fans wondering what Stu was hiding. And his secret was revealed when the Gazette wanted to do a story about the restaurant's leftover food plans.

After being splashed all over the Gazette Stu was horrified to see his ex-wife, Lucy, at Speed Daal. She ordered Stu to stay away from Bridget and dropped a bombshell secret from Stu’s past as she reminded her ex aboutCharlie Walter, a young girl he murdered.

As Lucy strode out of the restaurant, Stu protested his innocence, explaining to Yasmeen and Alya that he was wrongly imprisoned for the murder. Yasmeen orders him out of the restaurant and was soon seen catching up with Lucy in Victoria Garden where she revealed how Stu confessed to having an affair with a young waitress and killed her.

In Monday night's episode his friend Kelly Neelan vowed to get Stu’s side of the story and she and Aadi Alahan found Stu lying in the street, drunk and barely conscious. At the hospital, feeling worthless and insisting Kelly is best off without him, Stu barked that she’s a nuisance who’s not welcome anymore and
