In recent episodes, Joel Deering has been seen going about his business on Coronation Street as if nothing has happened, despite DS Lisa Swain's efforts to put him behind bars. However, Dee-Dee Bailey recently uncovered the truth about Joel - he was the one responsible for Lauren Bolton's attack earlier this year. Lauren bravely opened up about Joel's abuse, with the support of Dee-Dee and Lisa. Together, they helped her make a statement and officially come forward with the details of Joel's grooming and assault.
Unfortunately, even with Lauren's statement, there wasn't enough evidence for the CPS to pursue the case. This left Lisa feeling deflated and disappointed as she had to inform Joel that he was a free man. But for the women involved, Joel's guilt is something that won't be forgotten. They are determined to find a way to get the case reopened and see Joel face the consequences of his actions.
Most recently, Dee-Dee managed to get hold of Joel's old work phone, which could hold valuable information. Lisa promised to get the phone looked at by IT forensics, hoping to find evidence that will help their case against Joel. Meanwhile, Joel has been continuing to operate as a solicitor, conducting business meetings at the Chariot Square Hotel. Carla Connor caught him in the middle of one of these meetings and took great pleasure in announcing to the room that he was the one responsible for Lauren's attack.
But the drama doesn't end there. In upcoming scenes, Joel will seek revenge on Carla by opening a case against her for slander. As he hands her the paperwork, Dee-Dee and Lisa watch on, appalled by his actions. However, Lisa is determined to get a lead from Joel's old work phone and use it to reopen the case and finally see Joel convicted for his crimes. The tension continues to rise as the women race against time to bring Joel down before Carla ends up paying the price for his actions.
