It seemed that Coronation Street’s latest villain, evil Joel Deering (Calum Lill),
might have lined up a new victim when he handed his business car to
Sabrina Adetiba (Luana Santos) and asked her to give him a call.
Sabrina was in a distressed state because her brother was
being held at the police station after being arrested.
The corrupt and sadistic solicitor was revealed recently as the person
behind the abduction and murder of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton).
Flashback scenes at the end of a week of special episodes exploring the investigation into the crime showed Joel pushing Lauren – with whom he’d been having a sexual relationship – to the floor before repeatedly beating her with a blunt instrument.
Chillingly, the first time we saw Joel he was talking to Lauren Bolton at the police station in a scene that, in hindsight, indicated all along that he was the killer and that he targets vulnerable young women who are in trouble with the law.
While the focus is on Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) as the current chief suspect of the crime, nobody has any inkling that Joel has this twisted side to his personality.
This has left him free to target other vulnerable young women – and Sabrina seemed to be next in line.
Luckily for her, though, in coming episodes her friend has an instinct that there’s something not quite right about Joel. In fact she brands him a ‘creep’ and advises Sabrina to steer well clear of him even though he’d promised to help her brother.
Sabrina realises she’s been naive in trusting Joel, but then she and her friend come up with a plan.

What are they up to? And even though they think they have the upper hand over Joel, they obviously have no idea about the violence he’s capable of. Are they walking into danger?
