There are more turbulent times ahead in next week’s Coronation Street episodes, with a grim warning being issued about killer Joel Deering (Calum Lill) and a new crisis for the Winter-Browns when Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) turns to crime.

With Joel eyeing up a future with Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown), his focus is on ensuring their engagement goes without a hitch.

But his parents might have other ideas when they are caught off guard when told about their planned wedding.

That’s the least of his issues though as, across the Street, a teenager who he has targeted is being warned to steer well clear, and she realises he might not be as wholesome as he is trying to make out.

Meanwhile, with financial troubles increasing, Gemma finds herself stealing shoes from a shop – and instantly regrets it when she is lifted by police.

But will a knight in shining armour – and her secret brother – get her out of this mess?
