In a gripping Coronation Street twist, fans are speculating that Joel Deering may resort to murder after his sinister secrets begin to unravel. Monday’s episode was filled with tension as Dee-Dee Bailey (played by Channique Sterling-Brown) grew suspicious of Joel’s motives and uncovered shocking truths about his relationship with Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton).
The drama escalated when it was revealed that Joel had left Lauren for dead—but she later returned to Weatherfield, pregnant. Determined to cover his tracks, Joel attempted to end her pregnancy by secretly drugging her. However, his plan backfired, causing Lauren to go into premature labor. Against the odds, both Lauren and her baby survived, further complicating Joel’s desperate efforts to hide the truth.
Dee-Dee became suspicious after discovering inconsistencies in Joel’s story, particularly about a necklace he claimed to have bought for Lauren. Her investigation led her to a jeweler, where she found crucial evidence exposing Joel’s lies. The tension reached a boiling point at the hospital when Dee-Dee learned Joel was the father of Lauren’s baby—and that he had been eavesdropping on her conversations.
In a tense confrontation, Dee-Dee directly asked Lauren if Joel had given her anything to induce labor. Visibly shaken, Lauren recalled Joel preparing a meal for her that day and insisting she eat it before he left. This revelation led to a chilling realization about his intentions.
As Dee-Dee and Lauren headed to the police station to report him, they were shocked to find Joel already there, confessing to a past relationship with Lauren. When questioned about why he kept silent, Joel admitted he feared his fiancée learning the truth.
The episode ended with DS Swain (Victoria Meyers) arresting Joel, but not before Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) intervened—claiming Joel had said Lauren took abortion pills. Joel defended himself, accusing Lauren of trying to ruin his life, while she tearfully denied his accusations, insisting she would never harm her child.
Fans quickly took to social media with their theories, with many convinced Joel might kill again to protect his secrets. One viewer warned, “Joel is going to kill Dee-Dee—don’t get yourself hurt!” while another predicted, “Someone will die before Joel leaves the show!”
As the storyline continues to unfold, viewers are left wondering—how far will Joel go to keep his dark past hidden?
