Just when you thought the drama may be over following Lauren Bolton’s return, it’s only going to continue as the teen makes her way back to Weatherfield for the first time in several months. And Coronation Street viewers may also see Carla Connor meeting her match next week.
But the goings-on will all be connected to Lauren as it starts next week in the ITV soap with Dee-Dee Bailey and Nina Lucas who will be left shocked when the nurse confirms that Roy Cropper’s visitor was a young girl with blonde hair, with the cafe owner delighted she’s alive.
However, Nina is furious that she left it this long to return and clear his name and now has disappeared again. With her groomer currently in prison for Lauren’s murder, Bethany Platt tells her mum Sarah Barlow about the sighting of Lauren.

She tells her how the coat she was wearing matches the coat they saw on the girl in the CCTV from the pizza joint in Leicester and that she was clearly the person using her credit card.
Meanwhile, Carla is on the warpath as she comes across the group of yobs who were hassling Roy before his heart attack. In her typical style, the Underworld boss strides over to give them a piece of her mind.
But in a twist, when Carla climbs into her car, one of the yobs cycles towards her and she opens her door, knocking him off his bike and sending him sprawling.
Later, Dee-Dee tells Bethany and her fiance Joel Deering that the police are checking the CCTV to see if it was in fact Lauren that was seen. Hiding his fears about Lauren, with him knowing she’s pregnant with his child and hiding other secrets about him such as almost beating her to death, Joel ends up telling an excited Dee-Dee he has booked their wedding for September 27th.
He then heads off to go through credit card statements with Bethany to find clues of Lauren’s whereabouts. But when he receives a text from Betsy Swain demanding more money, he heads out, telling Dee-Dee he’s off to work.
Continuing to go through the statements she finds ticket transactions in Warrington and decides to check soup kitchens where a homeless woman confirms that Lauren is squatting in a local pub. Dee-Dee calls Joel to let him know before setting off with Bethany. But will Joel make it to her first?
And speaking of Betsy, the teen continues to take advantage of Carla after landing work experience at the factory by doing little work and demanding an early lunch. When she swans out of the factory Carla heads to the police station to have a word with Lisa but has to end the conversation when Lisa Swain says Betsy has called and is stuck in a rough part of town.
Elsewhere, as Nina calls to collect Roy from the hospital, he tries to cover his nervousness at the thought of leaving. In the café flat, Nina fusses over Roy, glad to have him home. Nina suggests that Roy spend a few days at Cathy’s in Scarborough.
At the end of the week, Lauren returns to the cobbles and goes to the café to apologise to Roy before heading to the Rovers where Bobby Crawford offers her his bed for the night. But his aunt Carla is furious when she finds out.
Also on the cobbles, at No.5, a despondent Gemma and Chesney Winter-Brown worry about their looming eviction. Bernie later calls at No.5 and tells Gemma that the kids are welcome to stay with her while she and Chesney sort out somewhere to live.
Also, in the bistro, Leanne Battersby puts pressure on AmyBarlow to join the Institute. Leaving Leanne to hold the fort, Nick Tilsley takes Toyah Habeeb for her hospital appointment. But as Toyah Habeeb searches the internet in vain for dirt on Rowan Cunliffe, he’s putting pressure on Nick to invest in the new resource centre.
As he threatens to blow the secret of his affair with Toyah, she’s seen rifling through Rowan’s jacket pockets and finds his driving licence and reverse searches the picture of him. What will she find?
