Coronation Street fans are growing increasingly worried for Lauren Bolton after she went missing from the cobbles – and now actress Cait Fitton appears to have confirmed her fate.
Bobby Crawford might have mounted a desperate search for missing Lauren, but with bloodstains discovered in her flat and suspicion landing on Roy Cropper and Daniel Osbourne, things look set to get even darker. She was seen with bruises covering her shoulder – potentially from her ‘boyfriend’ – and has been posting racy content to O-Vidz.
In Cait Fitton’s Instagram bio, she now states: “Previously Lauren in @CoronationStreet”, hinting that her character has been killed off – or at least exited – for good. Sleuths over on Reddit have been fuelling the flames, with one writing: “Went to the actress who plays Lauren’s IG and it looks like she’s a goner.”

Somebody else said: “It would be interesting if she were actually murdered – we get to see what its like for the people left behind when someone is kidnapped and killed – how everything is normal one minute, but then it turns out that it’s actually the last time you ever see them. But you don’t know why, they’re just gone all of a sudden.

“Usually the viewer sees the other side of it, too, like how we all knew Tim was alive in the trunk of the taxi , making his disappearance very suspenseful unlike now where it’s just super confusing- in this case, we know as much as the character’s friends on the show do – nothing.
“Her life is just interrupted in the middle of making a bacon butty – then she is just gone. And almost no one cared enough or knew enough to even report her missing, except for Bobby.”

Someone else, however, disagreed – and reckons it could just be a temporary exit. User HenryBellendry wrote: “I still think she’s going to reappear, just not for X number of weeks.” While another agreed: “I think you’re right, as I think they tape quite a few weeks ahead of schedule.
“And hopefully if they don’t drag this storyline out forever, she may be found (or turn up) and be able give an explanation as to what happened,” they added. Someone else said: “Because her doing that on her personal site would in no way be a ploy to throw us off the scent and heighten the drama of what’s happening to her character…”
