Coronation Street confirms new love interest for Dee-Dee after killer Joel
Coronation Street favourite Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) has the chance of romance in upcoming episodes. But bearing in mind the fact that she's just settling into motherhood after a complicated start with her baby Laila, embarking on a new relationship is a tricky thing to navigate. And there's also the fact that she was left badly traumatised by how her last relationship turned out. Dee-Dee fell for fellow solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lill), but it wasn't long before she discovered he was married and had a child. He insisted he and his wife were separated and she confirmed this and insisted Joel was a good man, but it took a while for him to regain Dee-Dee's trust. Eventually the pair got engaged. Deeply religious Dee-Dee believed that sex before marriage was wrong, but Joel persuaded her otherwise. It was eventually revealed to viewers that Joel was the person who was behind the disappearance of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) – something Roy Cropper (David Neilson) had been imprisoned for. As Lauren's story was uncovered it became clear that Joel was a sick and twisted man. When Dee-Dee discovered his crimes she was obviously appalled – and even more so because she was by then pregnant with his child. The knowledge of what Joel had done meant that Dee-Dee initially felt she wouldn't be able to bond with the baby, Laila, and she decided to give her up for adoption. After much soul-searching she recently decided she wanted to be Laila's mum. She's now co-parenting her with her brother James (Jason Callender), who had wanted to adopt her. This is all a lot of baggage to take into a new relationship, so in upcoming episodes when Dee-Dee realises that she's very attracted to Ollie, a new client and someone who previously flirted with her in the Rovers, she's hesitant to act on it. More Trending She tells Alya (Sair Khan) she really likes Ollie, but there's a conflict of interest because of him being a client. She tells Ollie it wouldn't be right to get into a relationship with him, but when he goes to kiss her she kisses him back, letting her heart rule her head for once.

She tells him she's going to need to take things slowly, and later reaffirms this to James. She tells her brother she really likes this new man she's met, but she's wary of getting her heart broken again. There's also Laila to consider, and when Ollie spots Dee-Dee in the shop with her daughter in her pram, Dee-Dee asks him to meet her for a drink later so she can explain about her home situation.

Coronation Street lines up dramatic exit for character
Dee-Dee Bailey, the solicitor daughter of Ed and Aggie Bailey, faces turmoil next week as a big decision looms over Weatherfield. As James packs his bags and prepares to leave for America, will he take baby Laila with him for good this time? Whilst looking after baby Laila, James is forced to make a huge decision about his future when his phone rings with news about a job back in America. Confirming that he's still interested in the role, James packs his bags and gets ready to leave. "James' return to Weatherfield hasn't quite been as smooth as he'd hoped," our Corrie insider says. "With so much drama and bad blood now between him and his sister, and the rest of the Bailey family stuck in the middle, he's eager to get away and back to his life in the States. The question is, will he take baby Laila with him and rip her away from her family and birth mother?" Leading up to James' decision to leave, there's conflict among the Baileys after Dee-Dee and James meet with a family facilitator. "After Dee-Dee had Laila christened behind James' back, he's gunning for legal custody," Digital Spy reports. "At the meeting for the Special Guardianship Order, James is nervous, despite the fact that Dee-Dee has been adamant that she doesn't want to be a mum to Laila. "It remains to be seen whether James' conflicted sister will actually turn up to their meeting or not – but Ed has to plead with his kids to clear the air at breakfast the following morning." It's not all doom and gloom for Dee-Dee, though, as later in the week she takes on a new client at work, only to discover that it is in fact, Ollie. Recommended reading: "When Dee-Dee sees Ollie again, she can't help but smile," says our insider. "There's an undeniable spark between them, and now that they'll be getting closer at Barlow Legal Services, there could be a well-deserved romance on the cards for Dee-Dee with her mysterious new client." As James says, see you later on the Street once again. Will Dee-Dee's daughter be taken far away from her before she has the chance to fight for her? Oh we just love the drama! Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
