Coronation Street fans were left shocked on Monday night after they spotted a suspicious newcomer. On Friday night, Roy Cropper was wrongfully arrested on suspicion of murdering his former employee Lauren Bolton, with soap fans recalling that Lauren - a troubled youngster - abruptly left the cobbles earlier this year.
Now, love interest Bobby has been left concerned after he found her flat unlocked with Lauren nowhere to be seen. Fans of the long-running soap never saw Lauren exit and she seemingly kept her plan to leave Weatherfield silent - apart from telling Roy, reports the Mirror.
Bobby reported Lauren as missing to the police and Roy 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.
On Monday night, the hit ITV soap revealed more updates about Lauren as Max Turner overheard David and Shona Platt discussing whether Lauren's dad's far-right group could be involved in her disappearance. Fans will remember Lauren arriving in Weatherfield in 2022 after she helped recruit Max into an extremist far-right gang.
Initially, Max was romantically interested in Lauren but things quickly fizzled out between the pair when the truth about the group's plan came to light. Her dad was one of the group's leaders and she had been dragged into the whole thing alongside Max.
Since then, Lauren had tried to turn her life around before her disappearance. Later in Monday's episode, Max decided to secretly pay Lauren's dad Reece a visit in prison, where he grilled him about his daughter's whereabouts and accidentally let slip that Roy had been wrongly suspected of Lauren's murder.
This resulted in Roy being held hostage at his café
