Coronation Street fans aren't convinced it's the end of the story after Stu Carpenter's daughter confessed to killing young waitress Charlie Walter, with whom he was having an affair. Yasmeen Metcalfe and her grandchildren Alya and Zeedan Nazir had been working to exonerate Stu after it emerged he was jailed for killing Charlie.
Chef Stu Carpenter, who arrived on screens in the ITV soap while homeless last year, served 27 years for murder after being wrongly imprisoned for the death of Charlie. Upon his release, he ended up jobless and homeless and it is only in the last year, with the help of the likes of Yasmeen and Kelly Neelan, he has been able to create a new life for himself on the cobbles.
But that was blown apart earlier this year when Stu's ex-wife, Lucy, arrived and told everyone about her estranged husband's past, leading to many of the street's residents boycotting Speed Daal and avoiding Stu in the street. In recent weeks, Alya enlisted the help of newcomer, and solicitor, Dee-Dee Bailey in a bid to clear his name for the murder.
