In scenes yet to air, Joel approaches Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) with their wedding rings, declaring he still loves her.

The solicitor states the rings are a reminder of everything he’s lost.

Aware of her ex-fiancé’s depraved actions, Dee-Dee recoils.

Ed (Trevor Michael Georges) and Ronnie (Vinta Morgan) step in, will they take the law into their own hands? 

Dee-Dee tells the pair that it should have been her wedding day.

As for Joel, he is alone in his flat when he opens his notebook and writes a letter.

He later stumbles into the café, clearly drunk and clutching a bottle of whisky.

Finding Roy alone, Joel locks the door behind him – is Roy in danger?

The pair have a history, as Joel stood by and let Roy go to prison for Lauren’s alleged murder.

After months of her whereabouts being a mystery, the troubled teen eventually resurfaced.

Viewers soon learned that Lauren was pregnant with Joel’s baby – as the nature of their relationship came to light.

Later on, she prematurely gave birth to a baby son named Frankie.

Elsewhere in Weatherfield, Lauren confides in Dee-Dee that she is suspicious of Joel’s movements as of late.

As a safety precaution, she has been following him on a tracking app.

Darkest soap storylines

Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…

EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.

Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.

Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.

Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.

However, Lauren’s noticed that he’s spent considerable time in a field and an industrial park.

To top it off, he transferred £5,000 into her account without an explanation.

What is Joel’s motivation?

Coronation Street airs on ITV and is available on ITVX.
