Yahoo News Coronation Street's Dee-Dee to investigate Joel's past
Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street's Dee-Dee Bailey searches for new evidence of Joel Deering's wrongdoing next week.
The solicitor takes matters into her own hands as fears mount that Joel could get away with his crimes.
Joel was recently reported to the police over his violent attack against Lauren Bolton, who broke her silence once Dee-Dee figured out the truth.
Sadly, scheming Joel found a way to turn the tables on Lauren and Dee-Dee, undermining their story.

This week's episodes see DS Swain's senior colleague DI Costello warn her that they don't have enough evidence against Joel.
Joel then wastes little time before seeking revenge against Lauren, repeatedly turning up at the hospital to threaten her. Lauren and Joel's son Frankie is still under observation after arriving prematurely earlier this month.
In follow-on scenes next week, Dee-Dee reports Joel to the police for threatening Lauren.
She soon realises that it may be down to her to expose Joel's true nature as the police investigation has stalled.

Dee-Dee finds out that Joel used to work for a firm called Walcotts, which specialises in helping vulnerable young people.
Recognising this as suspicious in light of Joel's other behaviour, Dee-Dee pays a visit to Walcotts in the hope of finding new clues.

Earlier this month, Calum Lill – who plays Joel – spoke about bowing out from the role once this story comes to an end.
He said: "I think it's bittersweet for me. As an actor, it's getting more and more juicy, but as soon as this comes to a climax, I leave this incredible place filled with so many people I’ve come to know and love and been some of my best friends over the last 18 months.
"I'm very excited to get to the end of the story, but it will be very bittersweet because it's the most incredible place to work."
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, September 2.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
