Coronation Street’s Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) has caused trouble in Weatherfield ever since she arrived in November last year.
The former girlfriend of Max Turner (Paddy Beaver) was groomed by her father Reece Bolton into joining Griff Rrynold’s far-right extremist group.
She and Max left the group prior to Griff being sentenced to prison.

Her father was later imprisoned for 18 years and Lauren has since landed a job on Roy’s Rolls.
However, as her jealously towards Max’s new relationship with Sabrina Adetiba (Luana Santos) takes a dark turn, Daily Star has taken a look at some fan theories surrounding her “true identity”.
Dark Bethany Platt ‘link’
Some Corrie fans are convinced Lauren is connected to evil abuser Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) who was jailed for grooming Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon).
One Reddit user theorised: “So, I’m catching up on Corrie. And just watched a episode where Lauren thought Roy [Cropper] was being kind to get his leg over which is the most uncomfortable scene I’ve seen in a while.

“Is this storyline going where I think it is? Where she was abused/groomed by her dad and/or Griff and/or the other chaps? Poor girl.”
A fan replied: “Some people have speculated that she’s one of the girls Nathan abused, which, with Bethany coming back, sort of makes sense. But she has definitely been abused in some form for her to speak like that.”
Another shared: “Aw, it was heartbreaking. But yeah, being a victim of Nathan’s might make sense.”
Kelly Neelan’s ‘secret sister’

There have also been some suggestions that Lauren could be in fact the secret sister of former fan favourite Kelly Neelan (Milly Gibson).
Following dealings with the far-right group, some viewers took to social media to share that she could have a link to the now departed character.
One viewer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to write: “Lauren is probably Rick Neelan’s secret lovechild… she’s gonna have a link to someone on the cobbles!”
Another added: “Well, everybody knows that all white, blonde, young women look the same. But LAUREN. That character is called LAUREN. She *looks* not a bit like Kelly. She *is* not a bit like Kelly. LAUREN.”
While someone else said: “Who is this Kelly 2.0?”

Corrie fans have also been speculating if Lauren is related to love interest Max.
Some think she could be his half-sister, and that evil Callum Logan (Sean Ward) maybe her biological father too.
Taking to social media, one avid viewer previously penned: “I think Lauren is probably Callum’s daughter.”
Someone else quickly followed up: “This is such a good theory. But it would technically mean her and Max are v dodgy together lol.”
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
