It comes following his latest antics in the ITV soap as he evades justice
Coronation Street fans have said they’re ‘done’ as they called for the end of Joel Deering once and for all following his latest antics. Viewers of the ITV soap have never really trusted the solicitor ever since he arrived as Dee-Dee Bailey’s new love interest.
Then as his relationship with Dee-Dee progressed, Joel appeared as he seemed. That was until earlier this year when it was revealed that he was Lauren Bolton’s ‘secret boyfriend’ and was behind her disappearance and presumed murder after he was seen attacking her with a chair leg.
It was unclear if Lauren was still alive until July, when she returned to visit a poorly Roy Cropper, who had just ben released from prison suspected of killing her.
But as fans saw at the time, Joel accosted her in the hospital where an intense confrontation ensued and the truth about their relationship was exposed, showing Joel had been paying Lauren’s bills in return for sex, leading to her falling pregnant with his child.
Now, Joel is currently doing everything he can to evade being nailed by DS Swain for grooming Lauren and later giving her a drug that saw her go into early labour with their son.
During Wednesday night’s (September 18) Corrie, viewers saw Swain and Dee-Dee Bailey closing in on Joel as they discovered who had delivered the package of pills that spurred on Lauren’s early labour. But when Joel was taken in voluntarily for questioning, he confidently avoided claiming any responsibility.
It left Swain bagging her head against the wall as she’s keen to bring Joel down once and for all after discovering his involvement with her daughter, Betsy. But it could be her teenage daughter who holds the key to what happened as she made a worrying confession to her pal Sabrina.
While she didn’t reveal what she did, she hinted she was caught up in Joel’s crimes. Max Turner crashed her and Swain’s meal at the Bistro and demanded Swain do something to help Lauren after Joel’s latest unruly visit to the hospital, shouting that Lauren wanted to kill their baby and that she shouldn’t be trusted around their son.
Betsy rushed to see Sabrina who pondered whether it would be classed as murder if seriously ill Frankie were to die. And while Betsy is now being brought into the frame, Corrie fans are eager for Joel to get his comeuppance following his latest outburst.

Others, however, think they know how things will end. @che8877660 said: “Think Joel is going to die, will there be a whodunnit on #Corrie ??” @8twinge added: “Are they setting it up for Joel to be killed and then it’ll take weeks while we wait to see if it’s Deedee or Lauren or Max or Carla or Swain or Betsy… before it turns out to be some randomer? #corrie,” (sic).
