Next week on Coronation Street, as Joel Deering (Calum Lill) continues to elude punishment, villainous Carla Connor (Alison King) puts herself in the line of fire.
Fans of the ITV soap opera were relieved to see Joel released from police prison on Friday, much to the dismay of DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), his ex-fiance Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown), and Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), the victim.
Carla is furious when she sees Joel at the Chariot Square Hotel, but the three of them are still determined to try to bring him down the following week. Joel is currently on the loose.
Carla is meeting with a potential supplier at the hotel when she spots Joel, and she wastes no time in approaching his table to give him an earful.
Seeing red, she announces to the room that he’s the person who tried to murder Lauren.
How will Joel react?
As our spoiler video (above) reveals, Carla’s encounter with Joel follows his latest threat to Lauren, after he visits their son Frankie in hospital.
Joel is furious to find Dee-Dee there too and says makes yet another chilling comment that Dee-Dee quickly reports to Swain.
She then continues to do some digging of her own after learning that Joel used to work for a firm, Walcotts, who specialise in helping vulnerable young people.
What dirt will she find, and will it be enough to get the charges against him to stick this time?
Coronation Street airs these scenes from Monday 2 September at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
