ITV Coronation Street Joel Deering’s plan for Lauren Bolton revealed — but someone’s on to him

Coronation Street is lining up dramatic scenes for Joel Deering next week as his downfall’s teased.

Viewers will recall that Lauren Bolton made a shock comeback last week as Cait Fitton reprised her role. Weeks on from a brutal attack by Joel, which Weatherfield residents still don’t know about, Lauren, who was believed to be dead, was revealed to be alive as she headed to the hospital to visit Roy Cropper after he suffered a heart attack weeks on from him being wrongly imprisoned for Lauren’s ‘murder’.

And things only got more explosive when Joel confronted Lauren at the hospital, forcing her into a family room and pleading with her not to reveal what happened. As violent and evil Joel went to lash out again, Lauren protected her stomach revealing she was five months pregnant with his baby in a huge bombshell.

And now spoilers for next week tease even more drama for the corrupt solicitor as he attempts to hide Lauren in his flat. In upcoming episodes, Joel’s fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey’s family, Michael and Ronnie, help Joel move furniture from his old flat to Dee-Dee’s place. In a bid to cover his tracks, Joel gets Lauren out of the flat by giving her money to go shopping.

Later, the group get on with shifting furniture when Ronnie decides to take a look in Joel’s fridge and is left confused to find it packed with ready meals for one. How will Joel respond to this and will Ronnie be left suspicious over the solicitor? Later in the week, Joel’s next plan for Lauren is revealed as he promises the bored youngster that she will be heading over to Ireland within a week. However, bored of being stuck in Joel’s flat, Lauren calls on best mate Max Turner, desperate for some normality, but will this ruin Joel’s plan for the youngster?

It comes as Coronation Street’s Joel star, Calum Lill, has warned that the ‘worst is yet to come’ with his villainous character. Appearing on Thursday’s This Morning, Joel star Calum revealed what is next for his character. During the interview, soap expert, Sharon Marshall, was on hand to point out that Lauren being pregnant is evidence against Joel.

To which the actor warned: “It is, it’s evidence the stakes have only got higher and I think one thing we’ve seen with Joel is he’s very selfish, driven and seems to lack empathy so I think the worst is yet to come from Joel, he’s only going to get worse.” Asked about more victims and whether Joel’s fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey is in trouble, actor Calum teased: “Who knows? I think it could even get worse than you think!”
