Joel Deering (Calum Lill) is in for a shock in upcoming scenes when his \u201csoon to be ex-wife\u201d shows up on the cobbles looking for answers, leaving Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) brokenhearted on Coronation Street.<\/p>\n

As viewers will soon find out, Joel offers to meet one of Dee-Dee\u2019s clients on her behalf but is interrupted by an angry Emily, and an intrigued Toyah watches a panicked Joel steer her out of the bistro. Joel then lies to Dee-Dee about the client being a waste of time and soon she is show the CCTV footage from the bistro as it is revealed to her Joel has a wife and daughter!<\/p>\n

In a Q&A ahead of the scenes, Lill told RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press that technically, Joel and Emily are going through a divorce, but legally, it\u2019s a whole different story.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we find out that he\u2019s actually got a wife and a daughter,\u201d Lill explained. \u201cHe\u2019s going through the divorce, but legally, she\u2019s not his ex-wife yet. So his soon to be ex wife, Emily turns up out of the blue and confronts him saying, \u2018We need to do this now. I\u2019m sick of waiting.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s finalising the divorce and this happens in the bistro, and Toyah has kind of twigged that there\u2019s something a bit odd here, and a bit strange about this woman and then she\u2019s shown the CCTV, this whole interaction to Dee-Dee. [It all] kind of unravels.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for why Joel has deceived Dee-Dee for so long, Lill believes it\u2019s a matter of Joel just waiting for the right time to tell the truth, but has dug himself a deeper hole.<\/p>\n

Viewers will soon be able to give their own verdict as to whether or not Joel is hiding something more from Dee-Dee and while remaining tight-lipped about future scenes, Lill hinted that the introduction of his parents will soon reveal all.<\/p>\n
