fans believe they’ve figured out what’s troubling DS Lisa Swain.
In the most recent episode, DS Swain, portrayed by Vicky Myers, raised eyebrows among viewers as she appeared distracted and nearly threw up at one point.
The episode featured Dee-Dee Bailey, played by Channique Sterling-Brown, receiving a strange voice message from her wicked ex Joel Deering, played by Calum Lill, which DS Swain suggested might be a suicide note.
Long-time soap watchers will remember that Joel was finally exposed in recent episodes with evidence confirming his evil acts, resulting in him facing jail time and his ex Dee-Dee ending their relationship, cancelling their wedding.
Later in Monday’s episode, fellow officer Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) announced he had a lead on Joel and had managed to pinpoint his last known location, where they discovered his car parked next to a bridge with a folded note on the dashboard, leading DS Swain to fear he may have taken his own life.

However, Dee-Dee was sceptical and didn’t buy into the police’s theory, deciding to visit the crime scene herself. After questioning Joel’s previous victim, Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), about the location image she had tracked of Joel, Dee-Dee explored the area and found a small car concealed in the woods, reports .
Dee-Dee promptly informed DS Swain, who reassured her they would investigate further. Later, while searching Joel’s flat, DS Swain and Kit found the notebook the evil solicitor used for his note, realising it was all pre-planned.
