ITV Coronation Street first look at Lauren Bolton murder mystery as cobbles favourite arrested

Coronation Street is set for dramatic scenes as Lauren Bolton’s disappearance leads to a fan favourite being arrested.

Only recently, troubled youngster Lauren abruptly left the cobbles and love interest Bobby has been left concerned after he found her flat unlocked with Lauren nowhere to be seen after her earlier claims that she was going to flee Weatherfield.

Soap fans never saw Lauren leave and it seems she told no one close to her of her plan aside Roy Cropper given she immediately vanished. In recent episodes, a concerned Bobby called at Lauren’s flat again to find no answer to which he headed to the police station to report her missing.

PC Craig Tinker promised to make some enquiries, which he later called at the café to investigate Lauren’s last known movements. Later, Bobby was left unconvinced as Roy explained how he caught Lauren going through Bethany’s bag and he had to let her go, revealing when he called round with her wages, she was talking about moving away to start a new life. In upcoming scenes, Bobby only gets more and more suspicious of Roy, especially when he catches him cleaning Lauren’s flat in a bid to help Evelyn Plummer.

It’s not long before DS Lisa Swain makes a return as she gets heavily involved in the case with the character, who has appeared on and off since 2021, set to become a cobbles regular. As DS Swain investigates Lauren’s disappearance suspecting she could have been murdered, fans will see the finger of suspicion fall upon both Daniel Osborne and Roy with the latter arrested on suspicion of the murder of Lauren.
