Joel Deering first walked onto the Coronation Street cobbles on 7th September 2023, a charming solicitor who Dee-Dee soon fell head over heels in love with. But under his smooth exterior Joel was hiding a dark secret, a penchant for younger, under privileged girls. And when Lauren went missing in February of this year, it was later revealed that Joel was responsible, having abused his position as her duty solicitor, to subject her to a torrent of both physical and verbal abuse which led to her fleeing the street fearing for her life. Joel had left Lauren for dead following a vicious attack and while Roy was accused of the crime, Joel did everything possible to cover his tracks.
It was Joel’s fiance Dee-Dee who finally uncovered the horrific truth, however without hard evidence the police were forced to let him walk free. Having drugged Lauren in an attempt to abort his own son, Joel became public enemy number one and as Dee-Dee, Lauren and DS Swain all rallied to bring him down it was no surprise when Joel disappeared. But when his body was found in an apparent suicide, the police soon discovered that someone had in fact murdered Joel. With a number of suspects with a motive, including Joel’s wronged ex Dee-Dee, her dad Ed and Uncle Ronnie, bad boy Mason, DS Lisa Swain who was removed from the case after Joel’s involvement with her daughter Betsy, Swain’s partner Carla, his victim Lauren, her close friend Max and the detective investigating the mystery himself DC Kit Green viewers have been watching a series of exhilarating flashbacks over the last few weeks.
It was an eventful night for Joel, after Ronnie and Ed went after him with a crowbar, he was attacked by Dee-Dee, threatened by Kit and pushed into the river by Max. But not before Lauren had delivered the killer blow!

For me it was when Max said “we have to stick together” to Lauren, I knew it had to be one of them!
