Joel was determined to silence Lauren, no matter what it took. It had been months since she was last seen in Coronation Street, and everyone believed she was dead. But now, she was back and in danger as predator Joel closed in on her.
In a previous encounter, Lauren had visited Roy Cropper in the hospital after he suffered a heart attack. This came just weeks after he was released from custody, where he was accused of killing Lauren. In a tense confrontation, Joel cornered Lauren and she revealed that she was pregnant before escaping from him. She made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him and was no longer afraid.
But the truth about Lauren's survival was revealed when Dee-Dee Bailey and Bethany Platt discovered her living in a squat, trying to hide from Joel. Dee-Dee was shocked to find out that Lauren was pregnant and took her to the hospital for safety. However, Lauren's safety was still in jeopardy as Dee-Dee unknowingly revealed her location to Joel. Not only that, but DS Swain was also questioning Lauren about the case, as she had been investigating what she thought was a murder.
With Joel looming over her in the hospital, Lauren was terrified and unsure of what to do. Could Joel convince her to keep quiet, even as DS Swain probed her for information about her attacker? Would he use her fears and vulnerability to manipulate her into trusting him again? Or would Lauren have the courage to speak out?
Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren, shared that her character has always been independent and had to survive on her own. But now, with the possibility of having a child and experiencing unconditional love, Lauren's life is about to change. It won't be easy being a single parent, but she has a strong support system and will do her best. As for Joel, actor Calum Lill believes that his character is far from being at his worst, and there's no telling where his selfish and manipulative actions will lead.
Channique Sterling-Brown, who plays Dee-Dee, is excited for her character's involvement in Joel's downfall. She believes that Dee-Dee will have mixed emotions when she finds out the truth about Lauren's survival, as she has caused a lot of trouble for the street. But she also believes that it will bring a sense of unity and female empowerment as the women come together to bring Joel to justice.
And of course, Vicky Myers' character, detective Lisa, will also play a crucial role in taking down Joel. Lisa, who is also in a position of trust and power like Joel, will be determined to bring him to justice for his abuse of vulnerable women, including her own daughter. Vicky Myers shared that Lisa's fierce and lioness-like nature will come out as she seeks justice for the women who have been groomed and abused by Joel.
The intense episode will air on Wednesday July 17 at 8pm on ITV, and viewers can expect to see the truth about Joel's actions finally coming to light. It will be a difficult and uncomfortable journey, but the female characters will unite and rise up against Joel, bringing him to his long overdue comeuppance.
