The twists have not finished yet. Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.

Gee thanks for that. Remind me not to watch it.

Tonight was pitiful.

dee dee gave it up and now is having another joel kid

max manipulated again now by lauren the apple don't fall far right 😁 honestly don't care if innocent max is banged up

Going by the flash-backs he is not totally innocent.... but I hope we do not need to wait until Christmas to find out who wrapped Joel up like a Christmas present...

I don't care if the whole cast is banged up along with the producer and the scriptwriters.

I need to know how Dead Joel managed to get inside that black plastic bag

Going by the flash-backs he is not totally innocent.... but I hope we do not need to wait until Christmas to find out who wrapped Joel up like a Christmas present...

Did I miss the bit about the plastic bag, when did we see this, or did someone just mention it?

was joel found in a body bag or suit bag in the river? honestly im not sure I remember this on screen or it talked about online but I do tend to switch off if uninterested

Personally I think the use of so many flashbacks are just the writers excuse for having so many holes in the storyline. DC Kit is as believable as a CID officer as Dopey David is as a hair Stylist. The whole storyline strikes me as scriptwriters who came up with a storyline and got bored with it halfway through. I hope they forget about Max and he rots in the cell and they only remember about him when Richard Hillman walks into Weatherfield Nick and confesses to the murder of his lovechild Joel and asks for 15 other murders to be taken into consideration. Joel is then discovered as having changed his sex and name to Jolene and living with Mavis Riley in Cartmel.

I thought his head was under the water and we just saw his coat/jacket on the surface, that might have looked like a bag of some sort.

I think that they forget they are telling a story, which should be told as simply as possible, so that we can all understand it without too much effort. Instead they get too hung up on trying to be arty, adding all those flashbacks and twists most which can see through, so fail to inject the suspense and drama they are seeking.

He was all wrapped up when he was floating down the river, that what it looked like to me...

I have looked at the scene a few times, hard to see, looks to me as if there is a body bag... do not think it is a puffer jacket as some suggest on social media.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN2Ah6O7WPE
