Coronation Street fans ‘switch off’ as unexpected character set to be ‘kil*ed off’

Fans of Coronation Street are certain that newbie Lauren Bolton—who was shown writhing in agony in Friday night’s episode before being taken to the hospital—is destined to be killed off.

Fans of Coronation Street are glued to their seats as the program hinted at a shocking departure following extremely upsetting scenes that had viewers fumbling for the remote last week.

In the August 2 show, fans were horrified to see Lauren Bolton collapse to the ground in agony as she clung to her unborn child in desperation. It’s alright. We shall be alright. He’ll return shortly. Through cries of sorrow, Lauren reassured us that everything will be well.

Tears were flowing down her face as she cried out in anguish, but as the door knocked uncertainly, Max Turner showed up rather than the evil Joel Deering. Lauren had previously used a taxi app on his phone, and he had seen her address displayed there.

This address was stored. Are you alright?” Max asked from behind the door, to which a hurt Lauren replied, “No, there’s a problem. The Express writes that “the baby’s coming.”

Max cautioned her, “No, no, Lauren, it’s way too soon,” with great anxiety. The distressed soon-to-be mother cried out, “Max, it hurts so much!” I’m unable to go.” In an attempt to console her, Max said, “Just hang in there, okay? I assure you that everything will work out fine.”

Following stressful moments, Lauren was relieved to learn that her baby was still battling for its life, even though Joel Deering, the evildoer, was doing everything he could to cause premature labour and jeopardise the infant’s prospects. Even with this glimmer of optimism, Corrie fans aren’t quite giving up just yet. They still worry that Lauren and her child are in grave danger, especially because Joel could be hatching more evil plans.

Social media has become a hub for fans to discuss the newest plot twists. One fan said, “Wow amazing acting and hope the baby survives.”

A second admirer, in the meantime, foresees more dire times, writing, “Joel’s going to try killing Lauren next isn’t he…” A third, however, posts with anxiety, saying: “Oh my god. I’m hoping she and the child will make it.”

“He better not do anything to that little baby,” begs a concerned admirer. Not everyone has overlooked the intensity of the latest episodes, with some acknowledging that they’ve found it all a bit much. One reader looking for solace said, “Storylines lately have been hard to watch… need some more levity as life has enough!”

One viewer wonders, “Not watched for eight months because of these awful storylines. When can we get back to proper Corrie?” echoing a frequent attitude among fans longing for the good old days. An enthusiastic supporter offers a light-hearted diversion: “Very upsetting to witness. I still believe that cheerful episodes featuring Rita, Audrey, Gail, and Mary on a ladies’ trip to Majorca are necessary. Could we please begin our cheerful sequences now? “.
