Joel believed Emily and he weren't able to get along, but they tried again when she became pregnant. Joel then confessed to Emily the fact that he had been cheating, and she left him.
However, recently, Joel's meeting was cut short by her mysterious appearance, which raised the possibility of something more. When secrets from Joel's past are revealed, Emily's presence would add to the plot's drama.

Who is leaving Coronation Street in 2024?

In an unusual plot twist, Alex Bain, who has appeared as Simon Barlow since he was seven years old, will quit Coronation Street. Selling drugs and family tragedies are just two of the primary plots to which he has been linked. Despite the close-knit bond among the cast, Bain, who is now 22 years old, voiced joy and regret about leaving the TV series.
The effect of Simon's departure will be felt especially in light of the upcoming tragic events when Sam Blakeman and Simon find themselves in a car crash. Alex has shared on Instagram that his character Simon Barlow is going to leave the soap opera after 15 years, even though ITV hasn't yet officially confirmed his departure.
2) Lisa George as Beth Tinker
Lisa George, who has played Beth Tinker since 2011, has reportedly decided to leave the show after being an integral part of major plot points and touching the hearts of fans with her character's journey. Summer 2024 will see the airing of her last scenes.
The primary focus has been Beth and Kirk Sutherland's relationship. Fans have questions about the events surrounding Beth's leave and how they will impact the show's dynamics, as George's exit hints at big plot twists.
