Coronation Street fans think they have worked out the true killer of Charlie Walter, whose murder Stu Carpenter went to prison for.
Those who watch the long-running ITV soap were shocked when it came to light Stu, played by Bill Fellows, had been in jail for the murder of the young waitress, who he had been having an affair with.
His ex-wife Lucy revealed the shocking details to Yasmeen after Stu had tried to make contact with his daughter Bridget Woodrow.

Stu has protested his innocence throughout, desperate for Yasmeen to hear his version of events. Her grandchildren Alya and Zeedan are now seeking out the truth.
With the help of lawyer Adam Barlow, Alya as since learned that the detective on the case, Detective Lennox, interviewed Stu under duress during the 1980s, grilling him for hours and even throwing Stu to the floor to force a confession.
The pair have since started investigating Detective Lennox, who Stu feels framed him for the crime and Yasmeen has even come around and had a change of heart. Wednesday's episode saw her welcome Stu back into her home and stand by him, amid protests from fellow Weatherfield residents, who have not been so forgiving.
As the hunt to find the truth of what happens continues, Coronation Street fans now think they know who could have killed the young waitress all those years ago - and while some previously thought the detective may have been to blame, many have changed their minds.
In a surprise twist, fans now believe the culprit is his ex Lucy, which is why she refuses to let Stu visit Bridget, the Mirror reports.
Taking to Twitter as the episode came to a close, one fan said: “How much you betting the ex wife was sleeping with the cop and she was the one that killed that girl.” Another said: "Hmmmm Stu's ex wife seems pretty guilty to me, is she the secret killer? Was she having an affair with PC Lennox?”
A third tweeted: "Wondering if Stu wife killed the girl in rage that is why she wants case to be dropped,” as another said: “Bookmark this. Stu's ex-wife is guilty. Stu took the fall and don't know it."
A fifth agreed: "I think Stu's wife killed his lover and that's why she wants him to drop the case".
