Joel Deering secret teased as he’s confronted by mystery woman

Coronation Street is lining up explosive scenes next week when Joel Deering finds himself in an awkward moment.

Duty solicitor Joel, played by Calum Lill, joined the cobbles last year and soon became a love interest for fellow solicitor Dee-Dee Bailey, played by Channique Sterling-Brown. Since Joel’s arrival, soap watchers have been left suspicious, speculating he could be too good to be true.

And in upcoming scenes next week, it appears Joel’s secret is teased as he is confronted by a mystery woman on the ITV soap. The week starts off with Adam Barlow asking Dee-Dee and Joel about a firearms case he’s taken on and wonders if they’ve dealt with anything similar.

Later, Adam, who has been left seething over his ex-wife Sarah Platt reuniting with lover Damon Hay, is left angry when at Sarah’s birthday celebration, Damon hands out shots to Audrey, Gail, Bethany, Nick and Sarah, toasting the latter’s birthday. Yet it’s not long until Dee-Dee and Joel arrive at the Bistro to tell him that they might have cracked his case, is Adam’s luck about to change?

However, while things look more positive for Adam, Joel appears to be spooked by a blast from the past later in the week. In the episodes, Dee-Dee complains that she’s snowed under with work to which Joel offers to meet a new client on her behalf and pass on notes.

Later, Joel meets up with Dee-Dee’s client in the Bistro but they are soon interrupted by the arrival of mystery woman, Emily, who is clearly very angry. In a panic, Joel, who is spooked, steers Emily out. However, the commotion doesn’t go unnoticed by Toyah Battersby, who watches on intrigued as she wonders who this mystery woman is. Who is Emily and will Toyah tell Dee-Dee what she witnessed?

Daniel Osbourne rumbles Bethany Platt’s secret in huge betrayal

Coronation Street’s Daniel Osbourne rumbles love interest Bethany Platt’s secret next week after it was revealed she was hiding something.

Bethany made an explosive return to the cobbles on New Year’s Eve having left in 2020 and it wasn’t long until she caught the eye of former flame Daniel, whose fiancée Daisy Midgeley recently cheated on him with Ryan Connor. This resulted in a new love triangle as Daisy struggled seeing Daniel pursue Bethany following her betrayal, especially after accidentally walking in on them getting cosy.

However, as Bethany and Daniel toasted in 2024, Bethany made a cryptic phone call while Daniel went out to get food. She said: “It’s me, I withheld my number. Look, I know that I messed up but you have to give me a second chance,” to which the call then abruptly came to an end as Bethany asked if anyone was still there.

Soap watchers have been left intrigued ever since and this week offers an insight into the secret as she hides the truth from her loved ones. In upcoming scenes, Daniel finds Bethany engrossed in writing an article in the café but when he enquires what it’s about, Bethany is evasive.

Later, Bethany calls her publisher but she’s disappointed when they make it clear they’re not interested in her article. Things go from bad to worse later in the week when Daniel reminds Bethany it’s her turn to treat him to tea. However, Bethany lies and makes out she can’t as she’s working to a deadline.

It’s not long before Bethany checks her bank balance and looks at her overdraft with concern, but she quickly covers in front of mum Sarah, who is none the wiser. Later in the week, Bethany meets with Suki from the Gazette in the hopes of some work and she advises her to try Chit-Chat Magazine as they may be looking for someone.

Next week, Daniel rumbles Bethany’s secret, leaving the character gobsmacked. In the upcoming scenes, as Daniel gets ready for work, Bethany casually asks him about the catfishing between Daisy and Ryan. However, Daniel refuses to discuss it, which in turn leaves Bethany further intrigued.

Later, Bethany decides to grill Daniel’s student, Lauren Bolton, for gossip about Daisy and Ryan. The troubled youngster, who previously blackmailed Daisy and Ryan over their affair, is only too happy to spill, unaware that Bethany is recording their conversation.

However, things take a dramatic turn later in the week when Daniel answers a call on Bethany’s phone from the editor of Chit-Chat Magazine, leaving Bethany forced to come clean. Bethany admits that she has submitted an article about him, Daisy and Ryan, leaving Daniel gobsmacked. Will he get over the betrayal and will Bethany go ahead with the article?

Steve McDonald gobsmacked as shock affair ‘exposed’ on cobbles

Coronation Street’s Tracy Barlow and Tommy Orpington could find their steamy affair exposed next week. It was revealed recently that Tracy and Tommy will embark in a secret romance after the two had a spark after meeting on Christmas Day at the flower shop.

Viewers will recall that fictional footballer Tommy has made several stints on the cobbles over the years and the local Weatherfield celebrity has returned for a longer storyline after a series of failed businesses and his wife leaving him. In upcoming scenes, Sally and Tim Metcalfe vie for Tommy’s attention yet it’s Tracy who grabs her moment with the local Weatherfield celebrity.

Tracy tells Tommy to call in the shop with his decorating invoice as husband Steve McDonald is due back from France the next day and it will be their last chance to spend time together. However, in true soap style, Steve arrives home early and in a bid to be romantic, he prepares a French buffet, telling father-in-law Ken Barlow and daughter Amy Barlow how he intends to impress Tracy. Meanwhile, over at the flower shop, Tracy turns the sign to “closed” as she kisses Tommy.

At the same time, Steve puts his romantic plan into action as he heads to the shop and upon finding it locked, shouts as he knows Tracy is in there. As Tracy gingerly opens the door, with Tommy behind her, Steve’s gobsmacked. Has their affair been exposed or will Steve not realise what’s going on?
