Coronation Street’s Joel Deering appears to be finally rumbled next week as one character works out his shock lies
Joel Deering could finally be exposed next week on Coronation Street amid reports actor Calum Lill is set to be leaving the soap soon.
Fans will recall that Lauren Bolton made a shock comeback last month as Cait Fitton reprised her role. Weeks on from a brutal attack by Joel, which Weatherfield residents still don’t know about, Lauren, who was believed to be dead, was revealed to be alive.
And things only got more explosive when Joel confronted Lauren at the hospital, where Lauren protected her stomach revealing she was five months pregnant with his baby in a huge bombshell. Joel had been hiding Lauren in an empty flat as he attempted to get her move to Ireland sorted.
However, only recently, in evil and disgusting scenes, Joel drugged pregnant Lauren with pills that would bring on an early labour, resulting in her being rushed to hospital. In scenes last week, Lauren was terrified as her prematurely born son was rushed to an incubator as she feared whether he will survive.

In scenes this week, Joel’s wife-to-be Dee-Dee Bailey starts to get suspicious of Joel as she spots a notification on his laptop asking him to rate his experience at Belfast Airport to which he makes excuses. Later in the week, Dee-Dee hands Joel’s ex-wife Emily a fairy charm for their daughter Maeve’s bracelet, suggesting she might like to be a flower girl at their wedding.
When Emily reveals that Maeve doesn’t have a charm bracelet and warns her to be careful as Joel’s still paying rent on his old flat, Dee-Dee’s confused as she lets himself into his old flat to explore.
And now in spoilers next week things take an even more explosive turn as Dee-Dee investigates Joel’s real purchase from the jewellers after his lie about buying a bracelet for his baby daughter, and she’s stunned by what she finds.
Then, after she realised Joel had booked a trip to Belfast which left her confused, she realises Lauren is planning to move to this very location. Still not convinced about his claims about why he’d booked the trip, she points out the coincidence with Lauren – but as he claims ignorance, will she catch him out?
Determined to get to the truth, Dee-Dee follows Joel and soon enough she demands the truth. Later in the week the investigation into Nathan Curtis over Lauren’s recent disappearance is reopened it seems – so is this linked to Joel’s lies?
