Fans of Coronation Street have been left confused by Lauren Bolton’s return to the Cobbles… which sees her now shacked up with her would-be killer, Joel Deering. She convinced Joel not to kill her after revealing that she was pregnant.
Instead, he hid her away in his old flat, promising to smuggle her out of the country, to Ireland, when the time was right.
Lauren makes herself at home… Joel’s home
Last night’s episode saw Lauren safely ensconced in the flat, while Joel made excuses to Dee-Dee, Michael and Ronnie. As Lauren lounged on the sofa, Joel bought her continued silence with bundles of cash and a bag of chips.
But would Lauren really be so foolish as to let Joel hide her away in his home… and so soon after he tried to kill her to boot?
To many fans, the whole thing just didn’t ring true.
‘It doesn’t make sense,’ say Coronation Street fans as Lauren shacks up with Joel
As last night’s episode aired, a number of fans shared their thoughts on X, expressing some doubt as to the feasibility of Lauren’s new living situation…. and her having apparently forgotten how dangerous Joel can be.
