Joel's downfall is looming after he was charged for his crimes against Lauren Bolton but one scene during this Monday's trip to Corrie seemed to hint at an on-screen death.

Evil Joel Deering (Calum Lill) was finally charged in Coronation Street recently, when DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) gathered enough evidence to prove that he’d used her daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) to procure pills that induced Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton)’s early labour – and left her baby Frankie fighting for his life .

Dee Bailey’s next storyline has been ‘rumbled’ - and there’s more heartbreak in store. The character (Channique Sterling-Brown) made her debut back in 2022 - and has since become a firm favourite with viewers.

Joel Deering has finally been arrested in Coronation Street. The soap signaled Joel could be facing his downfall earlier this week when Dee-Dee Bailey and DS Lisa Swain figured out he'd bought a dodgy labour-inducing drug to spike Lauren.

Coronation Street has aired plenty of drama, twists and turns over the past year, and autumn could be just as explosive on the ITV soap if any theories are correct
