Coronation Street's Joel Deering star breaks silence on dramatic exit and says 'I miss it'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Coronation Street star Calum Lill has finally been able to talk about his exit from the show - 10 weeks after filming his final scenes as Joel Deering.

Weatherfield's biggest-ever whodunnit was seen coming to a dramatic end during Friday night's (November 15) edition of the ITV soap as Joel Deering's killer was revealed - and it was a joint effort to off the dastardly solicitor.

As fans know, Joel arrived onto the cobbles in September 2023 as a charming solicitor who Dee-Dee Bailey soon fell head over heels in love with.

But under his smooth exterior Joel was hiding a dark secret - a penchant for younger, underprivileged girls. And when Lauren Bolton went missing in February of this year, it was later revealed that Joel was responsible, having abused his position as her duty solicitor, to subject her to a torrent of both physical and verbal abuse which led to her fleeing the street fearing for her life.
