Coronation Street reveals the true culprit behind Joel's downfall, ruling out Swain and Dee Dee.

Betsy couldn't help but worry about what the future held for her. After all, she had made some questionable decisions in the past that were now coming back to haunt her. In tonight's episode of Coronation Street, she finally came clean about her involvement in Lauren Bolton's early labor. It was a difficult confession to make, but Betsy knew it was the right thing to do.

Ever since she first appeared on the show, Betsy had been causing trouble. She had blackmailed Joel into keeping his true identity a secret, all for the sake of some quick cash. But little did she know, Joel would use this to his advantage and convince her to buy labor-inducing drugs for him. It was a risky move, but it kept Betsy quiet and also decreased the chances of Joel getting caught.

However, as the situation escalated and Lauren's son Frankie fell ill, Betsy's guilt only grew stronger. She knew she couldn't keep this secret any longer. In a heart-to-heart with her mother DS Swain and Carla, Betsy finally confessed everything. Her determination to see Joel pay for his actions led Swain to take her daughter to the police station to give a statement.

Thanks to Swain's access to the phone call Betsy made to the medical company, they had enough evidence to confront Joel. And it worked. After Swain informed Joel that he would be charged and put on bail, he got the message loud and clear. He knew that if he broke any of the conditions, he would be thrown behind bars.

Meanwhile, back at his flat, Joel handed over his passport and almost made a run for it. He knew the consequences of getting caught would be severe, so he ultimately decided to stay in Weatherfield. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Dee-Dee updated Lauren on the case. Although these developments weren't enough to bring Joel down completely, it was certainly a step in the right direction. The question now remained: would he end up behind bars soon?
