Fans of Coronation Street have praised last night’s episode of the soap opera as one of the most satisfying in the soap’s history as Joel Deering was finally exposed. This came as a suspicious Dee-Dee finally cottoned on to what Joel had been doing – and confronted Lauren.
As Lauren revealed all during emotional scenes in the hospital, Dee-Dee realised the extent of her fiancee’s evil. And, as Lauren realised that Joel had been reponsible for her going into early labour, the pair headed to the police station to expose Joel’s secrets.
Here they teamed up with a dogged DS Swain, who was eager to bring the sleazy lawyer down. Unfortunately, Joel – who had overheard everything from outside of the hotel room – was one step ahead of the three, and turned Lauren in, claiming that she had attempted to terminate her child.
Coronation Street fans brand Joel Deering’s downfall as ‘immense’
Joel’s scheming didn’t stop fans from finding satisfaction in the start of his downfall. Many took to social media as the scenes aired, declaring the episode to be one of the soap’s best.
“What an absolutely immense episode of #Corrie. DeeDee is the best character for ages, and carried the episode as always with her spectacular fashion sense (that dress ) and those wardrobe flashbacks. Loving DC Swain as well,” wrote one user on X.
