Joel and Lauren's storyline on Coronation Street has been quite intense lately. Lauren Bolton, who returned to the show, has been going through a lot as the true extent of her suffering has finally been revealed. And it seems like things are only going to get darker for her and Joel Deering, as actor Calum Lill recently shared.
For those who haven't been keeping up, Lauren had gone missing and her case turned into a murder investigation with Roy Cropper as the main suspect. But as we all know, things are never what they seem on soap operas. In a shocking twist, it was revealed that Joel, who is a solicitor, was actually responsible for Lauren's disappearance. And to add to the already dramatic plot, it was later revealed that Lauren was actually still alive.
Recently, viewers were given a glimpse into what had happened to Lauren through a series of flashbacks. It was revealed that Joel had been manipulating and coercing her into having a sexual relationship with him. And when Lauren mentioned his fiancé, Dee-Dee Bailey, things took a violent turn. Joel beat Lauren and left her for dead.
But Lauren has now returned to Weatherfield and has even apologized to Roy for the trouble she caused. However, she couldn't leave without being caught by Joel. As they talked about their past, Lauren dropped a bombshell - she was pregnant with Joel's baby.
Thankfully, Lauren managed to escape from Joel's grasp. But this could spell trouble for him when Dee-Dee and Bethany Platt find out about her reappearance and try to track her down. It seems like Joel's life is about to crumble as the truth about his actions may soon come to light.

Calum, who plays Joel, shared his thoughts on the upcoming scenes. "The state that Lauren's in now, if Dee-Dee finds her first and she reveals everything, Joel's life will crumble," he said. "Even if it's just the fact that the baby is his, everything will be ruined. The stakes have never been higher and I think desperate times call for desperate measures. Joel will do whatever it takes to get to Lauren first. And whatever he does next, it's going to be a tough watch."
