Coronation Street fans have predicted a huge plot twist as they think Joel will ‘fake’ his own death.
Viewers have begged bosses to ‘save’ Dee Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) as they think she might soon be in danger.
Last night, her uncle Ronnie (Vinta Morgan) and father Ed (Trevor Michael Georges) threaten Joel (Calum Lill) in scenes on ITV.
After the police close in, it seems that the villain may take matters into his own hands as he will apparently decide to end his life.
He previously tried to give Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) medication in order to terminate her pregnancy.
His terrible plot did not succeed when his son Frankie survived, although he remains in a critical condition.

Later, it’s been revealed that Weatherfield Police will launch a search for his body after they find a suicide note, but Coronation Street fans have another theory.
They think the villain will fake his own death and go on the run, only to exact revenge later.
One fan exclaimed: “Calling it now – Joel has faked it so he can try and run away with his children and Dee Dee so he can try and kill them all together.”
A second stated: “All part of Joel’s plan to fake his own suicide….?
“Apparently police say to Dee Dee that they have found a suicide note in his car that he’s abandoned and they are searching for a body…” remarked a third fan.
They added: “I can read it like a book it will drag on till Christmas and he will reappear for the festive episodes for some sort of ‘revenge’.”
