Dee Dee Bailey terrified as she’s bombarded with death threats in Coronation Street
THE lawyer has bitten off more than she can chew with Roy Cropper's case
DEE Dee Bailey is left terrified this week in Coronation Street when she received horrific death threats.
The solicitor – who is played by actress Channique Sterling-Brown in the ITV soap – has been working to try and free Roy Cropper after he was charged with murdering Lauren Bolton.
While viewers know Roy is innocent, bungling Weatherfield police have decided he is guilty.
Now with Roy in prison awaiting trial, Bobby is terrified that whoever has Lauren will get away with it while the police stop investigating.
As they take their seats in the police interview room, Roy asks Dee Dee for a piece of paper and an envelope and begins to write.
In the court, the CPS barrister paints Roy as a murderer with a violent past and lists his crimes including the assault on Gary and the abduction of Wayne.
As Nina, Evelyn and Carla await Roy’s bail hearing, Dee-Dee hurries over and hands Nina a letter from Roy.
Fighting back tears, they realise that Roy’s convinced he’s going to prison. Unable to face the hearing, Evelyn heads back to the cafe to check on Freddie.
Dee Dee puts forward her case and urges the Judge to grant Roy bail, but the judge refuses the application and orders that he be held in custody until his trial.
In the cafe, Bobby is given food for thought whilst mulling over Roy’s predicament with Bernie. What is Bobby planning?
Later Dee Dee admits to Michael how much she enjoys Joel’s company but Michael reminds her that Joel lied to her in the past.
In the solicitors, Dee Dee takes a call which shocks her, but she covers in front of Adam.
Dee Dee takes another unwanted call but when Joel arrives she paints on a smile.
As Joel helps Dee Dee with Roy’s bail application, he notices that she’s received some email death threats.
Is Dee Dee safe? Or has she bitten off more than she can chew with trying to help Roy?
