She further discovered that Joel was the one who brutally attacked Lauren as she finally realised the terrifying links to expose him as an abuser and a groomer.

In a bombshell twist, Joel overheard their conversation and in a bid to beat them too it, he ran to the Police first to tell them lies about Lauren to put himself in a better light.

Whilst he was forced to admit to a sexual relationship with the teen, Joel lied that Lauren sourced illegal abortion pills in order to get rid of the baby.

It led to a furious showdown in the police station as Joel was arrested whilst Lauren was taken for further questioning regarding his claims.

Coronation Street viewers have now been left issuing a big plea to bosses and have threatened to switch off if it is not met.

They are demanding that Joel finally gets his comeuppance for his wicked ways and face justice after the programme hinted that his lies could mean he gets away with it after all.

Writing on X – formerly Twitter – one viewer penned: “If Joel talks his way out of this, I’ll never watch #Corrie again.”

As another echoed: “I can’t deal with any injustice before justice prevails. It’s taking me back to Kirsty with Tyrone and that was too stressful.

“Take Joel down now!”

During last night’s episode, Joel’s fiance Dee-Dee finally found the missing piece to the puzzle and put everything that he’d done together.

As someone else said: “Best #corrie I’ve seen in ages. About time too!”

With a third writing: “What an episode. Bravo to the cast bring on more episodes! Joel’s downfall is coming.”

Darkest soap storylines

Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…

EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.

Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.

Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.

Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
