Villains are on the cusp of being exposed while new and serious crimes are taking place in Coronation Street next week.
Joel Deering (Calum Lill) is juggling his commitments to covering up his dastardly actions and wedding planning, and when Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) intercepts a delivery.
He has some explaining to do and promises to make – but is his bride-to-be starting to smell a rat?
Later, his victim Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) suffers fresh agony, collapsing and fearing she is about to lose her baby.
Speaking of rats, Stefan’s campaign against Abi and Kevin Webster (Sally Carman and Michael le Vell) leads to a revenge arson attack.
The couple are firmly in the frame, but is there more to this than meets the eye?
And in other criminal news, Beth Tinker (Lisa George) is also taking a big risk that could land her in seriously hot water.

Joel tells Dee-Dee to watch their wedding budget, as his divorce is proving costly. When Joel brings Maeve to spend time with Dee-Dee at the flat, Dee-Dee says he’s a born father.
