“I don’t think we’ve seen the worst yet.” <\/p>
Joel Deering has recently been unveiled as Coronation Street<\/a>\u2018s latest villain, as he was revealed to be behind Lauren Bolton\u2019s (Cait Fitton) disappearance \u2013 and there aren\u2019t any lengths Joel won\u2019t go to get what he wants.<\/p>\n While Joel (played by Calum Lill) masquerades as the happy-to-help lawyer, there is a dark side to him that was finally shown to fans in a series of flashbacks.<\/p>\n The scenes revealed how Joel cosied up to a vulnerable Lauren when he represented her after her arrest and he began to groom her.<\/p>\n In disturbing moments, Lauren stood up to Joel, but he snapped and beat her over the head multiple times.<\/p>\n After Lauren played dead, she made a run for it, and she has been in hiding ever since \u2013 but it was recently revealed she was alive<\/a>, much to the annoyance of Joel.<\/p>\n While all of this has been going on, Joel has been in a relationship with Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown), and while they\u2019ve had their bumps in the road, they are now engaged!<\/p>\n But is danger on the horizon for Dee-Dee as she prepares to marry Joel?<\/p>\n Well, speaking exclusively at the RadioTimes.com<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Soap Awards 2024<\/strong>\u00a0sponsored by\u00a0Inspired Villages<\/a>, Lill lifted the lid on how Joel really feels about Dee-Dee.<\/p>\n \u201cJoel is genuinely head over heels in love with Dee-Dee, and he will do whatever it takes to protect that and to try and get married,\u201d he confirmed.<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI think he\u2019s a very nasty person as well, and I don\u2019t know how bad that\u2019s going to get. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve seen the worst yet.\u201d<\/p>\n And it\u2019s clear viewers certainly haven\u2019t seen the worst yet as Joel continues to manipulate those around him, but he will get his comeuppance soon enough<\/a>, with Sterling-Brown telling RadioTimes.com<\/strong>: \u201cEventually, what\u2019s in the dark will have to come to light, so we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n The\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/span>\u00a0Soap Awards 2024, sponsored by\u00a0Inspired Villages<\/a>, took place on 13th July.
