Coronation Street viewers were left on the edge of their seats as Joel Deering seemed to have found his next victim.

The character, who was recently unmasked as the murderer of Lauren Bolton, has been revealed to have a history of grooming and abusing young girls. Now, it appears he’s set his sights on someone new.

Max Turner’s former flame Sabrina made her return to Weatherfield in Friday’s episode following her brother’s arrest. She was spotted by solicitor Joel outside the police station.

Joel approached Sabrina, offering his legal services under the guise of wanting to help. He hinted at alternative methods of payment for his services, including monthly instalments, but it was clear his intentions were far from professional.

Despite rejecting his offer, Joel gave Sabrina both his personal and work phone numbers, suggesting they might come in handy. As she walked away, Joel’s expression indicated that he had targeted her.

Upcoming spoilers reveal more scenes between the pair, with Sabrina’s friend warning her about Joel. The interaction left the mystery girl suspicious of Joel, hinting at trouble ahead.

But is Sabrina in danger, and could she be his next victim? If Joel targets her next, could his lies unravel due to Sabrina’s connection with his murder victim Lauren?

After all, Sabrina was aware of Lauren’s secret lover and the subsequent harassment. She also attempted to locate Lauren when she initially disappeared, before the police announced their suspicion of her death.

So, if Joel makes a mistake, could Sabrina piece together his involvement in Lauren’s disappearance?
