Coronation Street reveals bombshell about ‘murdered’ Lauren Bolton as Roy Cropper suffers heart attack
CORONATION Street has revealed a bombshell about Lauren Bolton in today’s episode of the soap.
The troubled teenager – who is played by actress Cait Fitton in the ITV soap – was presumed dead after she was brutally attacked by Joel Deering in February.
But tonight it was revealed she is very much alive after she was seen visiting Roy Cropper.
It came about after Roy was rushed to hospital with a heart attack.
Cornered in the street by a group of thugs, Roy was terrified as he tried to defend himself but when he went to call the police they slapped the phone out of his hands.
Terrified, Roy shrank down and begged them to leave him alone.
But as they went to attack him Carla arrived and fiercely drove them away.
She took him back to the cafe where he and Evelyn tried to calm him down and make him feel better.
As he opened up to Evelyn, he became terrified as Shona banged on the door – but then soon realised how she had lied to get him out of the flat.
Blaming them for what happened to him, Roy lashed out and told them to leave him alone.
However once they left him it all became too much and Roy collapsed.
Paramedics rushed to save him while Nina and a returning Shona watched on.
He was taken to hospital, fighting for his life and put into intensive care in a room on his own.
Outside Nina was soon supported by Evelyn, Carla, Dee Dee and Joel.
But then a hooded figure slipped into Roy’s hospital room and approached him.
As he lay unconscious recovering from his heart attack, the hooded figure removed their hood to reveal themselves.
