Dark L in healed and cancelled?
I have learned about dark L and then I was wondering it there is also dark L sound in -led like healed, cancelled, etc?
I know there is a dark L in heal and cancel because L sound is at the end but when -ed for the past is added to the words like healed and cancelled, there is also a dark L sound there?
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

The '-ed' ending is pronounced merely as /d/, and the 'l' is still dark. if the 'l' is followed by a vowel, as in 'healing', a clear /l/ is used.
