ITV Coronation Street new Lauren Bolton clue ‘sealed’ as soap expert ‘lets slip’ huge detail

Coronation Street appears to be dropping more clues about missing teenager Lauren Bolton next week.

Only recently, Roy Cropper has found himself arrested, charged and the number one suspect for the supposed murder of missing teenager Lauren. Soap fans will recall that troubled youngster Lauren abruptly left the cobbles earlier this year and her friend Bobby has been left concerned after he found her flat unlocked with Lauren nowhere to be seen.

Viewers never saw Lauren leave and it seems she told no one close to her of her plan to leave Weatherfield aside from Roy. Bobby reported Lauren as missing to the police and Roy has found himself under suspicion due to his kind nature, especially after he was caught innocently cleaning Lauren’s flat, which some people thought proved he was guilty and internet sleuths have since made his life a misery with a barrage of online abuse.

In recent scenes, evil Nathan Curtis has made a return to the cobbles and Bethany Platt is adamant her former abuser is responsible for Lauren’s murder. Meanwhile, next week, the evil Griff returns to the ITV soap after one year as he’s transferred back to Weatherfield nick. With Griff being friends with Lauren’s dad, will he try and get revenge on Roy despite the latter being innocent?

Soap fans will remember that Lauren first arrived in Weatherfield in 2022 after helping to recruit Max Turner to an extremist far right gang, ran by the evil Griff. Max was initially interested in Lauren, but things soon fizzled out between the pair when the truth about the group’s plans were revealed. Her dad Reece was one of the leaders of the group and she had been dragged into the whole thing alongside Max. Since then, Lauren had tried to turn her life around before her disappearance while Reece and Griff were put in prison.

On Wednesday’s This Morning, soap expert Sharon Marshall spoke about the upcoming soap storylines, where she pointed out a Corrie detail. Sharon said: “Talking of baddies, so we’ve seen Nathan turning back up, we’re going to have a return for Griff as well. He’s going to be in the same prison as Roy.

“Roy went up against him, he’s [Griff] a wrong’un, he’s a badman, and he [Roy] went up against him before and called him out for his racist views. So is he in danger when he comes into the prison? It’s all this thing of baddies coming in, is it all interconnected, is it something to do with a missing girl? Or… is it all a giant con and they’ve got something else planned?”
