Tonight, DI Swan of CORONATION Street uncovered a disturbing revelation concerning Joel Deering that signals the end of his tenure on the cobbles.
The ITV soap opera’s investigator, portrayed by actress Vicky Myers, at last had the break she required—and it came from her own daughter Betsy.
Viewers know Lisa has become increasingly concerned that Nathan Curtis isn’t responsible for Lauren Bolton’s disappearance.
And while Lauren has insisted he is, hoping that real culprit Joel will come through and send her and son Frankie to live in Belfast and she can escape him fully.
However in tonight’s episode Lisa got a worrying piece of information from her daughter when Betsy was encouraged to tell her what Joel had done to her.
She wasted no time in hauling Joel in for a voluntary chat.
But it wasn’t that simple and later it was clear she still had suspicions.
Going back far enough she found Lauren’s arrest record – and the name of her duty solicitor – Joel Derring.
But what will she do with that information? And is Joel’s time on the cobbles at an end finally?
