Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) has barely left her newborn son’s bedside since he was born prematurely in Coronation Street last month – but next week she receives horrifying news about his health.

As fans know, Lauren was forced into early labour by evil Joel Deering (Calum Lill) – the baby’s father – drugging her as he plotted to get rid of her.

Since Frankie’s birth, Lauren has been on a mission with DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) and Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) to bring down her abuser, who has groomed many other teenage girls too.

They make a breakthrough next week, when Lauren has a visitor who may be able to help stop Joel once and for all.

As she and Max Turner (Paddy Beaver) have breakfast at the café, she receives a call from the hospital telling her to come as quickly as possible.

After Lauren rushes to be there, the doctor explains that Frankie suffered a seizure and they’ve taken him for a scan.

Will he pull through?

Lauren’s nightmare doesn’t end there though, as she’s later called to a meeting with the social worker.

Accompanied by Dee-Dee, they explain she will have to be monitored as she’s still under investigation for trying to abort her baby.

It comes after Lisa and Dee-Dee spot the bistro van has a dashcam and go through the footage hoping to trace the company that sent the package to Joel containing the abortion-inducing drugs.

After uncovering that the parcel was from a private health clinic, Lisa calls them to provide details of the sender.

Will they be able to provide evidence that will clear Lauren’s name?
