Coronation Street spoilers confirm new Joel twist as Lauren’s killer ‘exposed’

Coronation Street is lining up new scenes for Joel Deering next week, including a big twist on the ITV soap.

Amid fans speculating this week’s episodes will identity Joel as being the man who possibly killed Lauren Bolton, he’s set for new drama next week according to spoilers. If Joel is the guilty party he’s certainly not found out by the end of the week, given spoilers reveal his parents pay a visit in upcoming episodes.

There’s drama as his parents arrive, and Joel books a meal for them all so they can get to know his partner Dee-Dee Bailey. She’s left nervous about the meeting, and Joel warns her they can be a bit stand-offish.

He insists they will love her though, trying to reassure her. But things get awkward and Dee-Dee finds herself up against it, as Joel’s parents make their disapproval of her clear.

Things only get worse though when Dee-Dee’s father Ed pops by during the meal to introduce himself to Joel’s family. Joel’s mum leaves him and Dee-Dee upset though, as she shows her disdain for her son’s partner and her family.

She makes a patronising remark at Ed, leading to Dee-Dee having enough and storming out of the restaurant. Joel’s devastated, and furious with his parents for their treatment of the woman he loves.

Joel wastes no time in apologising for his mum’s behaviour, but he has a surprise up his sleeve too. With Dee-Dee upset over the meal, she is in disbelief when Joel suddenly drops to one knee and proposes.

But will she say yes, and what will his parents say? It comes as viewers finally find out this week what happened to missing teen Lauren on the night she vanished.

Police investigating the case say she is dead, and have charged Roy Cropper with her murder. But by the end of the week we will finally know the truth, and which character was behind her vanishing act.

Viewers are convinced Joel could be the culprit and he might have killed Lauren. The truth will be revealed on Thursday, as we are taken back to the night in February when Lauren went missing.
