Fans of Coronation Street are certain that a “unlikely” character will put a stop to Joel Deering’s reign of terror.
The last few months have shown Joel’s true colors. The once-kind man attempted to kill Lauren Bolton and got her pregnant while grooming the teenage girl. Not only that, but he also attempted to abort the baby by forcing an early labor.
Lauren and the infant are lucky to be alive, but things can get worse.
Fans of the ITV soap opera, however, believe that bad boy Mason Radcliffe will be the one to kill sicko Joel.
Coronation Street bully Mason ‘to end’ Joel
Over in Coronation Street recently, Mason made his return after spending time in a young offenders’ institute.
Earlier this year, he made Liam Connor’s life hell and after his bullying was exposed and Mason attempted to threaten both Liam and Mason into silence, Mason was sentenced to a spell in a young offenders’ institute.
Since getting released last month, Mason has found himself sleeping rough. He has also struck up a friendship with troublemaker Betsy Swain. the daughter of DS Swain.
Betsy and Mason grow close in Coronation Street
Fans will know that Betsy is currently blackmailing Joel after she caught him trying to get her friend drunk a few weeks ago.
And in the soap this week, Joel was left shaken to find out that Betsy’s mum was DS Swain – the police officer determined to find out the truth about Lauren.
Cornering Joel, Betsy demanded cash from him – or else she would tell everyone about his picking up young girls. He then lost his temper and dragged Betsy into the ginnel before threatening her.
Coronation Street fans predict downfall of Joel
Now, amid his new friendship with Betsy, fans reckon it’ll be Mason that could put an end to Joel.
On social media, one person mused: “I wonder if Mason turns out to be the unlikely candidate to bring Joel to justice for his actions? He and Betsy have become very close.”
Someone else said: “Mason can sort Joel.” A third penned: “I wonder if Mason will get pulled into Joel’s story now that he’s getting close to Betsy?”
