But Dee-Dee’s (Channique Sterling-Brown) patience and trust will soon be pushed to the limit on Coronation Street.
Joel (Calum Lill) has been hiding many things from Dee-Dee as he has been concealing Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) at his flat, who was expecting his baby.
He also lied to his fiancee when he bought medication to terminate Lauren’s pregnancy.
The box of tablets arrived at their address, but he told Dee-Dee it was actually for a client.
Lauren was planning to permanently relocate to Northern Ireland to start a new life and Joel even found her a bedsit.
But Dee-Dee’s suspicions will be raised by a startling notification that will send her life in a downward spiral.
On her fiance Joel’s laptop, he will be asked to rate his experience at Belfast Airport.
She’ll be left completely confused as she cannot recall when Joel has ever been to the location.
Smelling something suspicious, Dee Dee will quiz Joel about the surprise notification.
He will tell her that he was meant to go to Belfast for work, but the trip got cancelled.
However, Dee-Dee still plans on marrying the man she feels is the love of her life.
She will give Emily – Joel’s daughter from a previous relationship – a fairy charm for Maeve’s apparent bracelet, as she will come up with a bright idea.
Dee-Dee suggests that maybe the infant may want to be a flower girl at her upcoming ceremony.
But Emily Wilkinson (Ellena Vincent) is set to reveal that her young daughter does not even have a charm bracelet.
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
- EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
- Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
- Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
- Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
His ex-partner will warn her to be careful, telling her that she knows that Joel is still paying the rent on his old flat.
This is despite the fact that the pair recently moved in together.
Dee-Dee is left confused by yet another lie and she will search Joel’s briefcase.
But the lawyer will be left utterly horrified as she finds his set of keys inside.
She will be then be convinced that he is having an affair, so she lets herself into the apartment and hurriedly looks through all the cupboards.
But what will she find? Is Dee-Dee finally onto Joel and his villainous ways? Or will she find more than she bargained for?
