Coronation Street's Vicky Myers on Joel and Betsy: "We'll see a very different side"
Joel should be scared...
The walls could be closing in on evil Joel Deering (played Calum Lill) as the residents of Weatherfield grow intrigued about what really happened to Lauren (Cait Fitton) and her disappearance as she visits Roy in hospital.
Late last month, viewers saw DS Swain's daughter, Betsy, blackmail Joel after she found out he was targeting her friend Sabrina Adetiba (Luana Santos). Joel ordered Betsy to back off or she'd be in trouble and eventually handed her over some money before warning her he wouldn't put up with her threats for much longer.
Afterwards, viewers saw DS Swain approach Betsy, who was smirking at a message from Joel that read he would give her more money if she stayed out of his life. While Swain is yet to find out the truth, Vicky Myers has revealed how Swain would react when the time eventually comes.
Speaking exclusively at the RadioTimes.com Soap Awards 2024 sponsored by Inspired Villages, Myers said: "I think she would be absolutely furious.
"There are so many questions to ask because it's literally happening under everybody's noses and hats off to Corrie for doing that because a lot of the time these predators are hidden in plain sight and he's obviously been able to manipulate his way into so many people's lives without being under suspicion at all."
Swain has been part of the key police force working on Lauren's disappearance and with them one step closer to realising Lauren is alive, Myers revealed that Swain may kick herself slightly for "not seeing it sooner".
Myers continued: "We've heard her speak before about how passionate she is about educating men and young boys about violence against young women. So I think we would perhaps see a really different side to Swain."

Myers previously teased that Swain is going to find herself quite busy in the coming months and while remaining tight-lipped on why, it's clear that Joel's dark path will soon catch up to him.
In an exclusive chat with RadioTimes.com, Channique Sterling-Brown (who plays Dee-Dee Bailey) said: "Eventually what's in the dark will have to come to light, so we'll see what happens."
Will Joel's treachery come to an end?
