The beginning of the end has arrived for Joel Deering in Coronation Street, as his fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey and the beloved Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain have finally caught onto his deceitful ways. But the question remains: how long will it take for them to realize the extent of his wickedness?
In tonight's episode, Joel revealed to Dee-Dee that his divorce from his ex-wife Emily had been finalized, just in time for their upcoming wedding next month. Dee-Dee suggested that their daughter Maeve could be the flower girl at the ceremony, but Joel shut down the idea, claiming that contacting Emily had been complicated due to his solicitor's involvement.
Undeterred, Dee-Dee took matters into her own hands and arranged a meeting with Emily at the bistro, hoping to patch things up between them. She even brought a charm for Maeve's bracelet, a gift that Joel had supposedly bought for her. However, Dee-Dee was shocked to learn that no such gift existed, and Emily revealed that she wanted to speak out about Joel's lies and infidelity now that he no longer had control over her.
Meanwhile, Mason Radcliffe confronted Betsy Swain at the precinct, noting a strange bruise on her arm. After forcing her to confess that Joel had caused the injury, Mason urged her to tell her mother Lisa. Betsy eventually revealed that Joel had been sending her text messages for months. Lisa then called Joel in for questioning, but he managed to manipulate her into believing that Betsy had developed an unhealthy obsession with him after he approached her while she was upset, and he couldn't seem to shake her off.
Dee-Dee, on the other hand, decided to investigate Joel's flat after Emily tipped her off that he was still paying rent on it. She let herself in and was shocked by what she found. As we know, Lauren Bolton had been staying there before Joel arranged for her to move to Northern Ireland. Dee-Dee found evidence of Lauren's presence, such as her nail polish and hair clip, and assumed that Joel was having an affair.
Back at home, Dee-Dee watched from the window as Lisa drove Joel home, pretending to believe his story about his involvement with Betsy. But her suspicions only grew, and she confronted Joel with her findings. He tried to explain it away by saying he had subletted the flat and didn't want to involve her in the legal complications.
Dee-Dee struggled to believe his lies, but she put on a brave face and went along with it. However, at the police station, Lisa discovered that Joel had once represented Lauren, raising even more red flags. Is this the beginning of the end for Joel?
