ITV Coronation Street: SHOCKING Character Revealed to Expose Killer Joel | Coronation Street Spoilers
Coronation Street confirms who will expose killer Joel, and it’s not Dee Dee. Despite the chatter about secrets between newly engaged Dee Dee Bailey and Joel Dearing, it seems like another resident may have some suspicions.
As viewers of the ITV soap know, Lauren Bolton disappeared from her flat at the end of February. When blood was found in the flat, the police soon suspected that Roy Cropper was the one responsible. This was because he befriended Lauren, gave her a job, and then attempted to clean her blood-stained flat after she vanished. In doing so, he disposed of some vital evidence. The finger soon pointed to pedophile Nathan Curtis, who is currently locked up for the crime. But, as always, fans know the truth.
In a dramatic week on the street, it was revealed through flashback sequences that Joel and Lauren had previously had a sexual relationship and that he bludgeoned her over the head with a chair leg. Since then, he’s managed to evade justice, with Nathan about to spend the rest of his life behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.
In tonight’s installment, Joel told Dee Dee that he was sad to keep their engagement secret from his parents. We first met the couple a few weeks ago, and it didn’t exactly go to plan when they berated Dee Dee for her upbringing and choice of job. Heading out to work, Joel arrived at Weatherfield police station and bumped into Max Turner’s ex-girlfriend and Lauren’s neighbor, Sabrina Adba. Sabrina explained that her brother Gav had been wrongfully arrested, and she was waiting to see if he’d be released. Joel swiped in and offered her legal support, but when she explained they’d be unable to afford it, his interest was piqued. Handing her his business card, he noted that they might be able to come to an alternative arrangement and quickly suggested that Gav might qualify for legal aid.
A friend of Sabrina soon arrived, glanced at Joel in a menacing way, and headed inside. Does she know something about him, and could Sabrina be the one who exposes him? Or will the girls be his next victims? This scene is eerily similar to Joel’s very first ever scene, which saw him represent Lauren after she smashed up Audrey Roberts’ salon—quite the foreshadowing.
