Coronation Street’s Lauren Bolton has had a dramatic few months on the soap – but fans have now ‘worked out’ who she could strike up a romance with.
Coronation Street fans have ‘worked out’ who Lauren Bolton’s next love interest is on the ITV soap.
The youngster (Cait Fitton) has had a dramatic few years since her debut on the ITV soap in 2022. What’s more, Lauren made her shock return to the cobbles recently, after months of being missing.
It was revealed that sicko solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lill) was behind her disappearance. Joel wormed his way into Lauren’s life last year after helping her out with bills, eventually coercing her into a sexual relationship.
He then left her for dead after bashing her head in, following a heated argument where Lauren mentioned fiancee Dee-Dee Bailey’s (Channique Sterling-Brown) name.
However, when Lauren made her return she revealed to Joel she was pregnant with his baby. Joel then tried to kill her, drugging her in a desperate attempt to kill the baby.

And since then, Lauren and Dee-Dee have teamed up to take Joel down. However, fans are certain they know who Lauren could be shacking up with next.

Over on a Reddit thread, fans shared their thoughts on Craig’s potential new love interest on the soap. In the comments section, one person said: “Maybe Lauren. She could use someone nice right now.”

A third also mused: “I absolutely agree. They would be really good for each other. We could do with something a bit more uplifting, and I for one would love to see this one play out.”
Another chimed in and wrote: “Me too and not have it go pear-shaped too quickly afterwards, certainly not while we, the audience, are still riding the feel-good wave. I would
