Soap fans are growing convinced that Joel Deering may have found an unlikely ally in Kit Green. Former Hollyoaks star Jacob Roberts took on the new role earlier this year and the character was confirmed to be the son of well-established Coronation Street troublemaker Bernie Winter. But during this Monday's (August 19, 2024) instalment of the ITV soap, he became more involved in Joel Deering's ( Calum Lill ) grisly world as the duty solicitor tried to stay one step ahead of Lauren Bolton ( Cait Fitton ).
Viewers recently learned that Joel was behind the wayward teen's disappearance after he abandoned her and left her for dead. The plot thickened when Lauren returned to Weatherfield, confirming she was pregnant with Joel's baby - a hefty amount of proof against Joel who later tried to kill the unborn child by drugging Lauren. The vile plan backfired, causing Lauren to go into premature labour, with the baby miraculously surviving.
This Monday, as Dee-Dee Bailey ( Channique Sterling-Brown ) discovered the whole truth about Joel by grilling Lauren, the pair of women found out his whole plot to kill his son Frankie. Though she was in shock, Dee-Dee helped Lauren face the authorities as she encouraged her to finally break her silence and expose Joel to DS Lisa Swain ( Vicky Myers ), unaware that Joel had also decided to strike back, having eavesdropped on his fiancée's conversation with Lauren. In a shocking turn of events, Joel claimed to Kit Green in another interview room that.
