Joel's downfall is looming after he was charged for his crimes against Lauren Bolton but one scene during this Monday's trip to Corrie seemed to hint at an on-screen death.

Evil Joel Deering (Calum Lill) was finally charged in Coronation Street recently, when DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) gathered enough evidence to prove that he’d used her daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) to procure pills that induced Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton)’s early labour – and left her baby Frankie fighting for his life .

Dee’s had her fair share of drama on the cobbles - but the beloved character could be set for more heartbreak in a new storyline

Joel Deering has finally been arrested in Coronation Street. The soap signaled Joel could be facing his downfall earlier this week when Dee-Dee Bailey and DS Lisa Swain figured out he'd bought a dodgy labour-inducing drug to spike Lauren.

Coronation Street has aired plenty of drama, twists and turns over the past year, and autumn could be just as explosive on the ITV soap if any theories are correct
