Police search for Joel after he leaves a note and goes missing.

In next week’s episodes of Coronation Street, dramatic twists unfold as DS Swain and Kit embark on a grim quest to locate Joel Deering’s body, particularly after discovering what appears to be a suicide note. Following a harrowing turn of events last week, Dee-Dee and the authorities suspect that Joel may have taken his own life, leaving all devastated.

As Kit and Lisa comb through Weatherfield for any signs of Joel, they stumble upon a troubling clue. Struggling with the implications of Joel’s potential final actions, Dee-Dee becomes increasingly agitated and confrontational. She develops a conspiracy theory and approaches Joel’s father, who is taken aback by her assertions. In a heated moment, Lisa urges Dee-Dee to face the harsh reality of the situation.

The question looms: did Joel truly end his life? Dee-Dee receives a voicemail from Joel, which she plays for Lisa, further deepening their concern. Tracing Joel’s phone, Kit determines his last known location, only to discover his vehicle parked on a bridge. Inside, a folded note raises even more questions about his state of mind.

Later, with grim determination, Lisa informs Dee-Dee that they are actively searching for Joel’s remains. However, Dee-Dee continues to hold onto the belief that Joel might still be alive, bolstered by information about refunds he received from their wedding venue and holiday bookings. This spurs her to confront Joel’s father at the police station, suggesting he may have gone into hiding.

Amid emotional turmoil, Dee-Dee confides in Kit about her findings, insisting that she is not ready to accept the possibility of Joel’s death. As tensions rise, Lisa intervenes, reiterating the importance of acknowledging the facts surrounding Joel’s disappearance. Will Dee-Dee reconcile her hope with the unfolding evidence? The drama unfolds as viewers are left questioning if Joel is still alive or if the worst has indeed happened.
