Viewers watched as he tried to kill her in a brutal assault which saw her flee Weatherfield in fear for her life.
Her return was forced by Joel and he set about manipulating her again – convincing her that he’d changed and that he would find her a new life away from the cobbles.
And Lauren fell for it, living in his flat, being supported by him and crucially – keeping his secret.
However that all changed tonight as Joel’s fiance Dee-Dee Bailey finally found the missing piece to the puzzle and put everything that he’d done together.
After realising he had been lying to her and deceiving her for months, Dee-Dee began seeing the pattern and put it all together.
She realised he was Lauren’s secret boyfriend from all those months ago, working out he’d hidden the necklace’s existence from the police, lying to her in the process.
Heading to the hospital to ask Lauren, Dee-Dee was horrified to find Joel there visiting Frankie – and it all clicked into place.
And when she spoke to Lauren, she got the truth out of her – how Joel had groomed and abused her.
But more than that – she realised that Joel had drugged Lauren and then left her locked in the flat to miscarry alone.
Lauren broke down at the realisation that Joel had tried to kill her baby – and potentially her – and Dee-Dee helped her find the strength to speak to the police.
Unfortunately for her though, Joel was secretly listening outside and enacted his own plan.
As Dee-Dee and Lauren gave their statements, Joel was speaking to Kit Green, claiming Lauren had seduced him and then tried to illegally abort the baby when he refused to go along with her plan.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
When they all emerged into the station foyer, Joel was arrested and taken in for questioning – and so was a distraught Lauren.
Later Dee-Dee broke down in her dad’s arms but will she get justice or will Joel get away with all he’s done?
