A villain will also continue to target a vulnerable character ahead of their looming downfall. Let's kick things off with evil Joel and the moment he could finally be caught out. After one lie too many, his fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey finally realises he's not all he seems.

Next week, she ends up following him after finding out he's hiding something from her, and she could get closer to the truth about Lauren Bolton.
