It's been a question on the minds of Coronation Street fans for a while now - could solicitor Joel Deering have some involvement in the disappearance of Lauren Bolton? As the truth about what happened to Lauren is about to be revealed in a special week of episodes, it seems more and more likely that Joel could be the one behind it all.
We first got a hint that something was off about Joel when Dee-Dee Bailey discovered he had been keeping a major secret from her - he was married with a child that he never mentioned before. This showed that he was capable of lying convincingly, but it didn't necessarily mean he was capable of murder.
However, there were a few other clues that made some fans suspicious. Like the expensive cufflinks he bought - could they be connected to the posh necklace that Lauren's secret boyfriend gave her? And then there were the flowers that Lauren received from her supposed boyfriend - which looked very similar to the ones Joel gave Dee-Dee. Again, not solid evidence, but could it be part of a bigger, more sinister puzzle?
Some viewers have even noticed a resemblance between Joel and the evil Nathan Curtis, leading to speculation that they could be related. Nathan recently returned to Weatherfield after serving time in jail for grooming and raping Bethany Platt. Could Joel be his brother, and possibly involved in Lauren's disappearance as well?
The upcoming episodes will finally reveal the truth about what happened to Lauren. In a shocking twist, Nathan is arrested after the police find one of Lauren's hairs in his van. Sarah Platt then tries to plant evidence on Nathan to get him out of the picture, but she's caught by police officer Kit Green who warns her to let them handle the situation. Along with the hair, the police also find USB sticks in the van that could implicate Nathan for breaking his sexual harm prevention order.
But things take an unexpected turn when Nathan's solicitor arrives at the police station - and it's none other than Joel. Dee-Dee is understandably upset and angry when she finds out her boyfriend is representing someone as morally corrupt as Nathan. Not to mention, Nathan's arrest could be the key to proving Roy Cropper's innocence and getting him released from prison. This conflict between Joel and Dee-Dee is only heightened by the fact that Nathan has hurt their friend Bethany.
Actress Channique Sterling-Brown, who plays Dee-Dee, shared her character's thoughts on the situation. She revealed that Dee-Dee has a strong moral compass and is not happy about Joel representing someone like Nathan. The fact that Nathan has hurt her friend and could potentially clear Roy's name only adds to Dee-Dee's discomfort.
But the bigger question remains - could Joel have a more personal connection to Nathan and Lauren's disappearance? Is he the key to solving this mystery once and for all? With the truth about to be revealed, Coronation Street fans can't wait to find out.
