Coronation Street enthusiasts believe they’ve cracked the code on when ITV’s notorious villain, Joel Deering, will make his final appearance, although some fans may be left feeling let down.
Joel, a lawyer, initially entered the scene as DeeDee Bailey’s beau, only for it to be unveiled that he was the perpetrator behind Lauren Bolton’s assault after months of torment and paying other teenage girls for sexual favours.
Currently, Joel is frantically trying to hide his misdeeds, but with an expectant Lauren back in the picture, it’s proving to be a challenge.
Viewers are now speculating that Joel won’t be exposed for several months, and they’ve pinpointed a specific date when his deeds will come to light and it’s not anytime soon.
Given that the Lauren plot has been unfolding since February 2024, fans are predicting a wedding face-off might be in store as DeeDee and Joel gear up to tie the knot. One Reddit user suggested: “The Lauren storyline has been going on since February and it’s been an amazing storyline for some fans and not so amazing for others,” reports the Express.

“A lot of people are saying [it will end in] September because that’s when Joel and DeeDee’s wedding will take place, alongside Lauren giving birth to Joel’s baby. Some fans think it’s January because that’s when Lauren’s abuse started and some others think Christmas time for some insane reason?”
A fan weighed in on the theory stating: “Lauren will give birth during the wedding. That’s the direction this is going. DeeDee in a wedding gown finds Lauren in labour and has to help deliver the man she just married’s baby. Does Lauren survive? Does DeeDee keep Lauren’s baby?”
Another follower predicted: “This seems likely. I don’t know how many months pregnant she is, but if she fell pregnant in January, from that first time with Joel with all the New Year’s Eve fireworks going off as shown in the flashback, she’d be about due by the end of September. So that would fit, at least roughly, with Joel and Dee-Dee’s wedding being set for the 27th.”

One viewer posted: “I wouldn’t be surprised if this time next year it’ll be droning on! It’s just as bad as Emmerdale.”
However, another opined: “Super Soap Week anyone? That’s when something dramatic happens! ! My prediction is Lauren gives birth on the eve of DeeDee and Joel’s wedding.”
