Corrie fans reckon Joel Deering might just be on the edge of committing murder after Betsy Swain tried to blackmail him.
As avid viewers of the cobbles will know, Joel’s got a dark past as an abuser who once attempted to off Lauren Bolton. But plot twist – Lauren rocked up in Weatherfield again, this time with a bun in the oven. Lauren had been cooped up in Joel’s rented flat when she suddenly went into early labour after the villain drugged her.
She gave birth to their little fighter, Francis, who’s been battling it out in an incubator. On the flip side, DS Swain is on a mission to get to the bottom of Lauren’s ordeal and has gone ahead asking for a DNA test on the newborn.
But now it looks like Swain’s own daughter is playing a dangerous game after she decided to shake down bad boy Joel for a stack of cash. Betsy had a face-off with Joel, poking fun at his weakness for vulnerable gals and even threw the word “perv” his way.
Betsy’s not messing around she wants a grand to keep shtum about Joel trying to chat up young lasses outside the cop shop. She didn’t let him forget that time he chucked her out of his motor in some dodgy neighbourhood either.
Coronation Street viewers are predicting a dark turn of events for Betsy, fearing that Joel might resort to murder. One fan took to social media, warning: “Betsy! She’s got to be careful now he’s seen what Joel’s capable of hurting her like that.”
Another viewer speculated: “Is anyone else wanting Betsy to be killed off by Joel”, while another suggested: “I can see a future storyline of Joel Killing Betsy #Corrie.”
One viewer even encouraged the grim plot twist, stating: “Joel should become the new serial killer and get rid of both Mason and Betsy #Corrie”, while another agreed: “Can Joel off Betsy please she’s annoying.”
