Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) recently discovered that Joel Deering (Callum Lill) had been hiding her dad Ed Bailey’s (Trevor Michael Georges) gambling secret in Coronation Street.
Ed’s addiction left him in such a mess that he ended up pawning the family’s Christmas presents, but was soon caught out by CCTV in the shop.
This led to huge upset among the Baileys, and trouble for Dee-Dee when she learnt just how much boyfriend Joel knew about the situation.
However, fans are now concerned that there may be more secrets that Joel is keeping from Dee-Dee, which could potentially leave her in danger.
After watching recent scenes, fans took to Twitter/X to share their unease, pointing out that they thought Joel was acting shifty.

One user, Charlotte, made it clear that she didn’t trust him, while another user, Aidan, pointed out that the lawyer was ‘definitely dodgy’.
Elsewhere, fans think they have rumbled Joel’s big secret, suggesting that he may be related to returning bad boy Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths).
Twitter/X user Poppy explained one theory that suggested Dee-Dee and Joel would use his familial connections to ‘get out of debt in a dodgy deal’.
In upcoming scenes, Damon is set to offer gambling addict Ed work on a new renovation project, but could he have been persuaded to do so by Joel?
