Actor Calum Lill from Coronation Street faced confidence issues and was self-critical of his performance as Joel.

The shocking truth about Joel Deering's murder in Coronation Street has finally been revealed, sending shockwaves through the community and bringing closure to his reign of terror. For months, Joel had instilled fear in the hearts of Weatherfield residents, making enemies left and right. But it was Lauren Bolton who ultimately delivered the final blow that ended his sinister schemes.

Despite his reputation as a villain, Joel's true nature wasn't immediately apparent. It took some time before his dark side was exposed, as the writers cleverly crafted a deceitful backstory in order to throw viewers off the scent. Actor Calum Lill, who played Joel, shared that one of the original plans for his character was to give him a questionable past in hopes of misleading the audience.

Being a part of such a huge storyline was no easy task for Calum. He admitted to struggling with watching his own performances as the evil Joel, finding it difficult to fully embody the character. "I hadn't worked for two years before this and I really struggled to find my footing as I started," he revealed. "For about six months, I would watch the episodes back with my fiancée and then retreat to beat myself up over my acting. It took a lot of time and effort to fully get into the character."

Calum's hard work and dedication during his time on Coronation Street did not go unnoticed. He shared that he put in long days, often arriving on set at 5:30am and not returning home until 10:30pm, with two hours of line-learning squeezed in between. But despite the grueling schedule, Calum was proud of his work and felt that he had given it his all. "I know there are definitely better actors out there, but I truly believe that no one could have put in as much effort as I did," he said. "I wanted to give it my all, even if it meant not getting work for a while after. Looking back, it was a challenging but fulfilling experience."
