The pair have had a rocky on-screen relationship 

Fans have seen Lauren caught up in her epic disappearance plot and her connection with the wicked Joel Deering whilst Betsy was left heartbroken when her lover Mason Radcliffe was stabbed to death.

But now, the stars have teased that there will be plenty more action to come from the pair and the rest of the younger cast as part of a specially-curated new plot.

The duo spoke to The Sun at the British Soap Awards where they revealed the “different” twist that would be rocking the soap.

Cait told us: “There is gonna be something quite different in the near-near future where we see all the younger cast come together.

2We really enjoyed that because nine times out of ten you don’t really get to see people unless you are working with them.

“Working with people our own age has been so much fun.

“It was two weeks of us non-stop altogether.”

She then joked: “I felt sorry for the crew and directors by the end of it but it was so much fun.”

They also hinted that they were hopeful a true friendship could blossom between Betsy and Lauren despite their rocky history.

Cait added: “I do see it.

“I don’t think it will be soon but I think it will be a slow burner.”

Sydney then added: “There’s some great stuff coming up and they lean on each other a lot but it will be a slow burner.”

The news of the impending episodes comes after Corrie failed to collect any of the panel or viewer nominated gongs at this year’s ceremony.

Instead, only David Neilson received a prize for the Outstanding Achievement for his decades-long performance as Roy Cropper.

EastEnders cleaned up at the event with a total of eight prizes to become the clear front-runners of the night.
