In a shocking turn of events on Coronation Street, DS Lisa Swain is forced to deliver devastating news as a major villain is allowed to walk free. Lisa has been diligently working on the case involving Lauren Bolton, successfully arresting the man responsible—Joel Dearing. For those following the story, it’s clear that Joel had been coercing Lauren into silence about his involvement in her troubles.

Recently, Lisa grew increasingly wary of Joel after Betsy Swain accused him of violence. Despite Joel’s smooth-talking during Lisa’s interrogation, she began to dig deeper. Her concerns intensified when she discovered Joel had previously acted as Lauren’s solicitor before her disappearance.

Meanwhile, Joel’s fiancée, Dee-Dee Bailey, had her own suspicions. After visiting Lauren in the hospital, Dee-Dee finally learned the full extent of Joel’s deceit. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when Joel was unexpectedly released from custody.

In the latest development, Lisa approaches her superior, DC Costello, only to be told that the Joel Dearing case must be scaled back because it has collapsed. Lisa’s boss cites the wrongful arrests of Roy and Nathan as contributing factors, adding to her frustration. Despite this, Lisa remains resolute, urging Costello to focus on finding any evidence that could link Joel to Lauren’s case. However, she is instructed to prioritize other cases with better chances of success.

Lisa’s concerns deepen as she fears Joel might target Lauren or another vulnerable woman now that he’s back on the streets. Her attempts to push forward are thwarted as DC Costello makes the final call, effectively closing the case.

The trouble for Lisa doesn’t end there. She faces a heated confrontation from Daniel Osborne, who demands answers about rumors that Joel had drugged Lauren to force an abortion. As viewers know, when Lauren returned to Weatherfield, she revealed her pregnancy with Joel’s baby. To prevent incrimination, Joel drugged Lauren, inducing premature labor. Thankfully, Baby Frankie survived despite being born early.

As Daniel questions Lisa, Betsy listens in, adding to the tension. Meanwhile, Lauren encounters Joel while on her way to see Frankie, leaving her terrified. With Joel back on the loose, the question remains—will the police regret their decision to release him?
