After months of speculation, Coronation Street has finally revealed the identity of Lauren Bolton's killer. And to everyone's surprise, it was none other than solicitor Joel Deering. We all remember how Lauren mysteriously disappeared back in February, leading to the wrongful imprisonment of Roy Cropper. But now, with the truth finally coming to light, we can't help but feel for poor Roy who has been facing danger in prison due to Lauren's father, Griff, targeting him.
It's truly a travesty that Roy had to suffer for a crime he didn't commit, and we won't even get into the shaky evidence used by DS Lisa Swain and her team to convict him. But when Nathan Curtis, a known groomer and sex abuser, returned to the street after his release from prison, it seemed like he could be the one responsible for Lauren's disappearance. Even Bethany Platt, who had been through a lot herself, was convinced of his involvement. And in a risky move, her mother Sarah planted Lauren's hair in Nathan's van, leading to his arrest.
But little did we know, there was someone else involved in Lauren's murder - Joel Deering. As Nathan's solicitor, Joel just happened to be in the right place at the right time, and he even seemed shocked when the hair found in Nathan's car turned out to be Lauren's. But his shock was probably because he didn't care about Nathan and was more concerned about his own involvement in the crime. And now, with the evidence pointing towards Joel as the killer, it seems like Roy could finally be released from prison and Dee-Dee's stress could be lifted.
So, what actually happened on that fateful night? Well, as Hope presented Joel with a necklace found at the crime scene, we were shown a flashback of Lauren trying to flee from him in his flat. It turns out that Joel and Lauren had been having a sexual relationship, something that could ruin his life even before his sinister actions. In a horrifying turn of events, Joel grabbed Lauren, threw her to the ground, and repeatedly beat her with a blunt instrument.
We still don't know what will happen next, but recent pictures have shown Calum filming scenes near an abandoned pub, hinting that this could be where Joel is keeping evidence or even Lauren's body. And with Bethany and Dee-Dee getting closer to the truth, Joel seems to be on edge and could make a mistake that could lead to his downfall. But for now, he seems to have moved on and is even planning to propose to Dee-Dee. Little does he know, his life is about to come crashing down.
But Calum Lill, who plays Joel, believes that the longer he hides the truth, the more chances he has of making a mistake. And with the guilt of sleeping with Lauren already weighing on him, a murder charge could ruin his career and relationship. The stakes couldn't be higher for Joel, and it's only a matter of time before his world comes crumbling down around him.
