There’s further upset for Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) in upcoming Coronation Street scenes as she comes face to face with boyfriend Joel Deering’s (Calum Lill) wife Emily (Ellena Vincent).
Things were going so well for the couple after first meeting at the police station (how romantic) in September last year, with Joel supporting Dee-Dee through her dad’s gambling addiction and even spending Christmas Day with her family.
However, in true Corrie fashion, viewers had long suspected that Joel was hiding a secret – and they were right.
Recent scenes showed him meeting up with a client in the bistro, only to be interrupted by a furious woman who was demanding to talk to him.
It was later revealed, after Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) played super-sleuth, that the woman was in fact his wife Emily, and that they had a daughter together named Maisie.
