Coronation street fans 'work out' surprise baby twist as murder probe launched

WEATHERFIELD HAS BEEN HIT WITH A FRESH MURDER PROBE AFTER JOEL WAS FOUND DEAD IN A RIVER - BUT CORONATION STREET VIEWERS HAVE BEEN LEFT CONCERNED BY HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND DEE-DEE BAILEY ANGIE

QUINN Senior Journalist 22:51, 15 Oct 2024 Coronation Street fans have been left fearing Dee-Dee Bailey is pregnant with Joel Deering's baby in a dark twist. On Monday (October 14), the

ITV soap saw Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) break the news to DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) that Joel’s body had been found. Kit later revealed the post-mortem

showed two blows to Joel's head were what finished him off despite his body being found in a river. The police have launched a murder investigation into the solicitor's death, and

there is no shortage of characters who may be in the frame. Joel's (played by Calum Lill) shock demise comes after he was exposed for his violent and very terrifying behaviour towards

Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton). READ MORE: ITV Coronation Street fans 'work out' who Gail marries ahead of exit - and it's not JesseREAD MORE: ITV Coronation Street fans

believe in sex before marriage so I could be dead wrong here. Thoughts..?" A second replied: "I thought so too," while a third chimed in: "That's the first thing I

thought of when she said she felt nauseous. She is having a devil child." Another speculated: "I think Joel drugged her and … (sorry, didn’t want to type it out) and that was why

celibacy was mentioned so often in the show as it was pointless when it was said…or they had a mistake, but she is 100% pregnant…" Article continues below "I was thinking something
