Coronation Street’s Dee-Dee Bailey is set for heartbreak next week as Joel Deering’s secret is finally revealed.
Duty solicitor Joel, played by Calum Lill, joined the cobbles last year and soon became a love interest for fellow solicitor Dee-Dee, played by Channique Sterling-Brown. Since Joel’s arrival, soap watchers have been left suspicious, speculating he could be too good to be true.
On Friday’s episode, Joel’s secret was teased as he was confronted by a mystery woman called Emily on the ITV soap. In a panic, Joel, who was spooked, steered Emily out, demanding they talk somewhere in private and promising he would sort out a mystery problem she was angry about.
And now Joel’s secret has been revealed as he’s set to be rumbled next week on the cobbles. In upcoming scenes, Joel leaves a loved up Dee-Dee’s flat after declaring his love last week. However, as he leaves, an expensive receipt falls from his wallet and Dee-Dee is confused to see it’s from a jewellers, dated from December.

Later, Joel calls at the solicitors to find Dee-Dee, Adam Barlow and Alya Nazir discussing the receipt. Joel is quick to make out he bought himself some cufflinks to which Alya jokes about his expensive taste. However, Alya is soon left suspicious when she spots Joel in a car being driven by a sullen looking woman.
Things go from bad to worse later in the week when Alya prepares herself before showing Dee-Dee CCTV footage from the Bistro. A confused Dee-Dee is quick to confront Joel, where he is forced to come clean about his past.
Joel admits that he has a wife, Emily, a daughter, Maisie, and his wife threw him out when she was pregnant because he had an affair. The shock discovery leaves Dee-Dee reeling in shock, what will happen next and is Joel telling the full truth?
It comes as fans had predicted a wife twist on Friday. Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said at the time: “Is that woman Joel’s wife? Odds on she is #Corrie”, a different account put: “#Corrie who’s that woman who crashed his statement case, his secret wife?”, another soap watcher wrote: “OMG is that his Wife??#Corrie” while a different viewer added: “Dee Dee unfortunately going to get her heartbroken. My guess Joel is married. #Corrie.”
