Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street's Dee-Dee Bailey does some detective work next week after receiving warnings over her deceitful fiancé Joel Deering.
Joel's sinister secrets could be catching up with him as suspicious clues are brought to Dee-Dee's attention in tense scenes.
First, Dee-Dee spots a notification on Joel's laptop that invites him to rate his recent experience at Belfast Airport.
Needing an excuse for why he'd booked a plane ticket to Belfast, Joel makes out that he had a work trip that got cancelled. He hopes that Dee-Dee won't do any further digging, as he'd booked the flight for Lauren Bolton to get her out of Weatherfield.

Later in the week, Dee-Dee spends time with Joel's ex-wife Emily and hands over a fairy charm for Maeve's bracelet. She kindly suggests that Maeve could be a flower girl at her and Joel's upcoming wedding.
Emily explains that Maeve doesn't have a charm bracelet, which undermines another of Joel's previous lies about a suspicious jewellery receipt.
She also warns Dee-Dee that Joel is still mysteriously paying rent on his old flat. Dee-Dee is stunned as Emily encourages her to be careful when it comes to Joel's secrecy.
Dee-Dee hopes to find out more details and spots her chance when she returns home to find a set of secret keys in Joel's briefcase, which has been left open.

Wasting no time, Dee-Dee grabs the keys, heads off to Joel's flat and starts searching the cupboards for clues.
Dee-Dee suspects that Joel is having an affair, but will she get more than she bargained for?
Channique Sterling-Brown, who plays Dee-Dee, recently told Digital Spy: "We've been filming all the lead-up to Joel's downfall. I think he's playing a very dangerous game, and he's walking on thin ice.

"It's been fun, because it's been like planning a wedding but also exploring this different side of their relationship, where he's really deliberately deceiving her to keep his lies and his other life undercover.
"Obviously, Dee-Dee is a smart woman, so she's definitely picking up on his signals."
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday, August 14, and Friday, August 16.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
