Coronation Street fans are concerned they've rumbled evil Joel Deering's next victim, which could lead to the sinister solicitor's downfall on the ITV soap. Only recently, Joel was revealed to be Lauren Bolton's killer in a huge twist. Roy Cropper had initially been wrongly arrested, charged and the number one suspect for the supposed murder of missing teenager Lauren.
However, DS Lisa Swain and newcomer Kit thought they had cracked the case as they arrested abuser Nathan Curtis, who previously made Bethany Platt's life a living misery and was recently released from prison. As they interrogated Nathan in the prison cell with Joel acting as his solicitor, a graphic flashback played as it looked like it was Nathan but later in the episode it was revealed in a shock twist that Joel was in fact Lauren's killer. So far, Joel has managed to escape justice and the cobbles' residents are oblivious to his evil ways.
Only recently, Joel picked a new victim after he spotted Max's on-off girlfriend Sabrina in a state of distress outside the police station and learnt that her brother had been arrested. Joel handed her his business card and told her to give him a call. On Monday's episode, Joel conveniently bumped into Sabrina in the precinct, where they both had a coffee.
Joel then tempted Sabrina with alcohol as he poured some into her coffee and pretended to pour some into his cup but he didn't. In a creepy twist, Joel told Sabrina she reminded him of an ex, adding that he was "punching.
