Coronation Street ‘expose’ Joel Deering’s ‘fate’ as beloved resident sent to prison
Corrie enthusiasts are buzzing with theories about Joel Deering’s (played by Callum Lill) fate on the cobbles, with some eager for his comeuppance while others dread he’ll dodge justice.
During Monday night’s nail-biter, Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) and DS Swain (Vicky Myers) doubled down on their quest to bring Joel down, confronting another victim who eventually found the bravery to stand against him.
Dee-Dee also scouted out Joel’s former boss, wrangling an agreement to ditch a Non-Disclosure Agreement that could see Joel sent down.
By the episode’s climax, Dee-Dee was seen winding up Joel – but will her determination see his reign of terror come crashing down?
In a lighter exchange as Joel queried if she was bogged down by work, Dee-Dee cheekily quipped: “I am always busy, me. I am learning to play the banjo,” reports the Liverpool Echo.
A perplexed Joel responded, only for Dee-Dee to retort with a gleeful: “Actually, I am getting quite good.”
As Joel mused about a street performance in her future, Dee-Dee’s dark comeback hinted at his possible doom: “Maybe, that’s assuming you’ll be free to walk these streets,” leaving viewers eager to see what unfolds next.
Fans flocked to social media, previously known as Twitter, buzzing with speculation over Joel’s fate. One user posted: “I think Swain will shoot Joel dead. Cop mode on, she’ll do it to protect her women. (Carla, Dee Dee and Betsy).”
Another chimed in: “Yes, I definitely think Joel’s time is up and he will be killed off!”
A concerned viewer commented: “Oh dear, now she is stalking our dear Joel. He really needs an injunction. His life could be in danger here. #Corrie.”
Meanwhile someone else noted: “Ellie has done the right thing. Joel’s downfall is getting closer,” as another person echoed the sentiment: “Oh another Joel victim hopefully take him down #Corrie.”
And one more opined: “I really hope it is the beginning of the end for Joel! #Corrie.”
But fans should brace themselves for if their predictions come ‘true’ and Joel meets his demise, DS Swain might just find herself behind bars…
