Viewers of Coronation Street discover just how dangerous Lauren Bolton’s mystery man is after she displays some nasty bruises on her arm.
Watchers saw Bobby Donovan (Jack Carroll) and Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) become closer on Friday’s episode of Coronation Street as he walked around her house on a date. He went to remove her hoodie as soon as they began kissing, but she winced in agony.
She hastily covered up the hideous bruises on her arm and then offered an explanation for how she got them. Despite the fact that Bobby was obviously not buying any of it.
ITV viewers have been witnessing Lauren attempt to seal the deal with an unidentified man who keeps calling and leaving gifts over the last few weeks. As they paid her a visit, it was evident that she wanted nothing more to do with him. It appeared as though they were not going to back down.
Many fans believe that Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper), the villain of the soap opera, may make a reappearance as a result of witnessing the horrific abuse she is receiving at the hands of someone.
@mikepriestley13 enquired, “What are Lauren’s bruises? With what does she interact? Is Nathan the person she’s seeing? The groomer Bethany had years ago? #Corrie
“Is Lauren’s boyfriend Nathan (Bethany’s abusive ex) by any chance?” @rosskiernan_ continued. #corrie. “Not watching Corrie right now, but I’m seeing people say Nathan could be Lauren’s ex. Surely Bethany would be alerted if he was let out?” inquired @Max_Meena1.
“I fear Corrie will do it at some point though, as Bethany is back and they love trauma,” tweeted @soapextras.
“Christ, we’ve got Liam in this terrible plot, and now it looks like Lauren is being physically abused—possibly by her older boyfriend,” tweeted @penniless_poet.
@WhoPotterVian went on to say: “Is Lauren’s shoulder bruised? Is this account really just for OnlyVids? #Corrie
Fans will recall that prior to Nathan’s departure from the cobbles, he was a member of a gang that victimized Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) by grooming young girls.
Could Bethany’s evil ex-boyfriend be following closely behind and already planning to pick his next victim as she made her way back to Weatherfield at the beginning of the year?
Bobby ran into Sabrina Adetiba (Luana Santos) and Max Turner (Paddy Beaver) at the end of Friday night’s episode as they gathered to discuss their concerns regarding Lauren.
Bobby said he noticed she had some serious bruises and wondered if they knew who her ex-boyfriend was. Max acknowledged that Lauren is now creating content for O-Vidz because they are all growing more worried about her safety.
Max proposed that Lauren’s adult work could have been realized in real life after learning that she creates content for the internet.
Whatever the mystery man in the teen’s life is, their reveal is going to be explosive because this year’s big storyline involves newcomer Jack Carroll, who has been hinting at his involvement.
The soap star stated during an early-year appearance on This Morning: “I only learned yesterday the kind of nuts and bolts of what the story is, and it’s very, very exciting.” I would even venture to suggest blockbuster.
“It always causes me a little bit of anxiety because, after just one or two weeks, I learned that I would be a part of this enormous storyline,” the speaker said.
