Coronation Street star Channique Sterling-Brown has confirmed her character's next move as Joel Deering's 'downfall' begins.

As viewers of the ITV soap know, the evil solicitor was behind Lauren Bolton's disappearance. The truth about how dark and sinister Joel, played by actor Calum Lill, really was revealed following Lauren's return to Weatherfield.

The teen had been missing without a trace since February before suddenly returning last month. It was revealed in May, three months after Lauren, played by Cait Fitton, was last seen in Weatherfield, that it was Joel who was behind her disappearance - not Roy Cropper as DS Lisa Swain decided when she charged him with Lauren's presumed murder.

It was eventually confirmed she did when she appeared by Roy's bedside in the hospital after he suffered a heart attack. However, as she tried to make an exit from the hospital, she was grabbed by Joel before the truth about what happened between the pair before the shock attack was uncovered.
