Coronation Street actress Cait Fitton has hinted that the “terrifying” behavior of Joel Deering may soon lead to his exit from the Cobbles. She expressed hope that her character, Lauren Bolton, could find her “happily ever after” as the storyline reaches an “end point” where Joel faces his “comeuppance.”
Speaking at the Radio Times Soap Awards, Cait, 22, emphasized the importance of portraying such intense storylines, saying, “It’s vital to show that no matter what you’re going through—grief or trauma—you can come out the other side.” She hopes that by the end of the storyline, Lauren will emerge as a strong, independent woman.
Cait Fitton emphasized her commitment to portraying Lauren by stating, “That’s why I’m playing her. Corrie is about iconic characters and empowering women, and that’s what Lauren is.” She believes in representing strong, impactful stories that resonate with viewers.
When asked if Joel will get his comeuppance, Cait Fitton expressed her hopes, saying, “I really, really hope so. With any villain, there’s always an end point.” She emphasized the need for justice for characters like Lauren, especially given the ongoing issues of grooming and exploitation in today’s society.
Cait praised her co-star Callum Lill, who plays Joel, saying, “Cal is brilliant—he’s a lovely human being, but when he’s in ‘Joel mode,’ he is terrifying. So I hope we can take him down.”
Cait Fitton expressed her hopes for a powerful downfall for Joel, saying, “I hope we can get a girl group together and take him down that way, for women empowerment. I think that would go down a treat. People would love that.” She believes such a storyline would resonate with viewers and highlight the importance of solidarity among women.
Cait Fitton shared her enthusiasm for her role as Lauren, expressing a desire to stay on the show as long as possible. She said, “I love the character, the place, and the people. It’s such an amazing place to work.” Cait also hinted at deeper layers to Lauren’s character, stating, “What you see is not what you get,” and hopes to explore more of her storyline in the future.
