It’s possible that Coronation Street on ITV unintentionally gave away the identity of Lauren Bolton’s true killer.

In the most recent episode, Dee-Dee Bailey set out to release Roy Cropper from prison after he was falsely charged with Lauren’s murder. Roy’s family and friends were notified by Dee-Dee that she had gotten hold of some messages from Lauren’s O-Vidz account that seemed to be correspondence between Lauren and her subscribers.

She implied that one of those texting her may have been the person who killed or abducted Lauren. The name of the ex-boyfriend who was torturing the adolescent is still unknown to fans.

But whatever the case, Dee-Dee was sure these letters would establish Roy’s innocence—especially considering the kind of letters Lauren was getting, some of which had misspelt words. The Mirror claims that these mistakes could disclose the killer’s genuine identity.

Dee-Dee begged DS Swain to take the texts under consideration as proof when she showed them to her. But Swain maintained that the communications did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Roy was the murderer, nor was there sufficient evidence to free him.

Unfazed, Dee-Dee promised to have the communications examined by a specialist. She said she knew someone in London with knowledge in this field who worked for The Met.

The scenes may have suggested how the true offender will be revealed as she prepares to have the messages examined and deciphered. The messages made many references to some terms being spelt incorrectly.

Therefore, all it would take for our killer to be identified would be for a suspect to misspell those exact words in the same manner as they are written in the texts. Can we thus expect a moment in which a character writes something down and unintentionally discloses that they are the ones behind the messages and may therefore be the individual the police are looking for?
