Coronation Street: What has been happening with Joseph?

He returned to live with his dad Chesney. Since then, Chesney and fiancée Gemma have gone on to have quadruplets Aled, Bryn, Carys and Llio.
Recently, it was revealed Joseph was being bullied at school as Chesney and Gemma were unable to buy him things.
