Spoilers for the ITV soap opera Coronation Street reveal that Dee-Dee Bailey will make a shocking discovery at her partner Joel Deering’s apartment next week after he drugged Lauren.
The antagonist Joel Deering on Corrie may soon meet his demise after his fiancée discovers a startling truth at his apartment.
In the upcoming episode of the hit soap opera, Channique Sterling-Brown’s character Dee-Dee Bailey is about to uncover a shocking discovery at her fiancé Joel Deering’s apartment. Joel and Dee-Dee are currently engaged, but neither of them knows who he really is.
The sinister solicitor has revealed his dark side in recent months, being exposed as the culprit behind Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) disappearance.
Since Lauren’s return to the cobbles, pregnant with Joel’s child, he has attempted to buy her silence by offering her accommodation in his old flat. He also proposed to fund her relocation to Ireland for a fresh start, revealing she was due to fly out on August 12 and he had three weeks to get everything in order.
In a disturbing turn of events, Joel gave Lauren drugs to induce early labour, resulting in the birth of their son. Meanwhile, Dee-Dee remains oblivious to her partner’s double life. However, this could all change in the coming week.
Spoilers indicate that Dee-Dee notices a notification on Joel’s laptop, requesting him to review his experience at Belfast Airport. When questioned about it, Joel claims it was a work trip that got cancelled.
Later, Dee-Dee gives Emily a fairy charm for Maeve’s bracelet, hinting that she might want her to be a flower girl at their wedding. Emily drops a bombshell when she reveals that Maeve doesn’t own a charm bracelet and cautions her about Joel, who is still paying rent for his old flat, leaving Dee-Dee puzzled.
Upon returning home and spotting Joel’s briefcase, Dee-Dee discovers a set of keys inside. She uses them to enter Joel’s flat and begins rummaging through the cupboards, convinced he’s cheating.
Back in July, actress Cait, who plays Lauren, hinted at Joel Deering’s impending downfall and the person responsible for it. Speaking to The Mirror, she said: “I think that will help with the story in [saying that] victims are not weak, victims of sexual exploitation and grooming are not weak, they are very strong people.”
“For it to be Lauren would be the closure she needs, the justice she needs and being heard. Lauren has never been heard in her life. She represents so many girls out there who are not heard, not justified, not validated so I would love it to be Lauren who brings Joel down.”
