Coronation Street viewers believe they have uncovered the real truth as Stu Carpenter's murderous past was exposed.
The character, played by Bill Fellows, has been a hit with fans ever since he played a key role in the downfall of the villainous Corey Brent. Stu was homeless when he was first introduced onto the show, but has since got back on his feet.
He has since gained a job at Speed Daal and started a relationship with Yasmeen Metcalfe. However, the co-owner of Speed Daal was rocked in tonight's show when Stu's ex, Lucy Woodrow, turned up at the Cobbles.
