Coronation Street fans were left gobsmacked as Stu Carpenter's secret was finally revealed. The character, played by Bill Fellows, made his first appearance in the ITV soap last year and quickly became a hero as the homeless man who found the evidence that brought Corey Brent to justice for Seb Franklin's horrific murder.
But in scenes aired on Friday night (August 5), Stu was revealed as a murderer. While he protests his innocence, viewers will be left wondering who to believe while a horrified Yasmeen Metcalfe tells her granddaughter Alya she never wants to see Stu again.
Despite now being in the soap for almost a year, with Stu settling into life in Weatherfield with a job at Speed Daal and a roof over his head with Yasmeen, not much was known about the character other than that he was estranged from his family and previously worked as a chef in the Navy.
