Coronation Street: Joel proposes to Dee-Dee

Episode 11,283 – 11,284 | Airs Wednesday 05 June 2024 at 20:00 on ITV1

Dee-Dee admits to Joel she’s nervous about meeting his parents. Joel warns her they can be a bit stand-offish but they’ll love her once they get to know her.

It is an uphill battle with Joel’s parents Anthea and Gus, who make their disapproval of Dee Dee clear. Ed calls in the Bistro and Dee-Dee introduces him to Joel’s parents. Anthea’s disdain is evident and when she makes a patronising remark, Dee-Dee storms out.

Dee-Dee is stunned when Joel calls at the corner shop flat and after apologising for his mum’s behaviour, drops on one knee and asks Dee-Dee to marry him. What will she say?

Meanwhile, Bethany reveals to Toyah that a colleague of hers once tried to write an exposé about The Institute but was met by a wall of silence. Rowan calls at the flat and Leanne hugs him. When Rowan shows her Toyah’s negative posts about The Institute, Leanne’s incensed.

In the bistro, Toyah receives a hand delivered letter. She’s shocked to discover that The Institute is suing her for defamation and taking out an injunction. Will she drop her campaign against the Institute?

Nick tries to make Leanne see that Toyah is trying to protect her from a corrupt organisation run by a madman. Leanne refuses to listen and as Nick heads out, she opens her laptop, smiles at the person on the screen and tells them she loves them.

Elsewhere, when the twins’ adopted mother cancels their visit to see Abi, she realises she needs to try and get the videos taken down. When Kevin and Abi find out that the online management company will charge £5k per month to remove the videos, they despair, knowing it’s unaffordable.

Also today, when George enquires how her purchase of Little Big Shotz is going, Glenda’s evasive and admits to Michael that George is still unaware that she’s suing him over the will. When George tells Glenda he is sending some money over to Eileen as Jason’s medical insurance has run out, she feels guilty knowing George is a good man.

Glenda confides in Michael that she feels bad about suing George. When Michael reminds her that her dad wanted her to have half the business, Glenda’s grateful for his support.

Finally, in the café, Ken gives Carla and Bobby short shrift and makes it clear he’s deeply unimpressed by their treatment of Daniel. Carla feels terrible. A sheepish Bobby tells Carla it’s best if he moves out as he’s caused nothing but trouble. Carla agrees and a crestfallen Bobby heads to his bedroom to pack his things.
