Coronation Street fans were left reeling as Lauren, a new mother, received devastating news at the hospital. As viewers know, Lauren’s

pregnancy was a result of a horrific ordeal orchestrated by Joel Dearing, the baby’s father. Joel, driven by a desire to rid himself of Lauren,

drugged her to induce an early labor.

Since Frankie’s birth, Lauren has been relentless in her pursuit of justice. Teaming up with Detectives Lisa Swain and DD Bailey, she’s on a mission to bring down her abuser, who has groomed countless other teenage girls. Their efforts seem to be paying off as Lauren receives a visit from someone who could be instrumental in stopping Joel once and for all.

While having breakfast at the cafe with Max Turner, Lauren receives a frantic call from the hospital. Her heart sinks as she rushes to be by Frankie’s side. The doctors explain that Frankie has suffered a seizure and is undergoing a scan. Lauren’s fears are heightened as she anxiously awaits the results. Will Frankie be okay?

Unfortunately, Lauren’s troubles are far from over. She is later summoned to a meeting with a social worker, accompanied by DD Bailey. The social worker informs Lauren that she will be under close monitoring due to the ongoing investigation into her attempted abortion. Lisa and DD, determined to clear Lauren’s name, have discovered a crucial piece of evidence: a dashcam on the takeaway van that delivered the abortion-inducing drugs to Joel.

By analyzing the footage, Lisa and DD hope to trace the company that sent the package. Their investigation leads them to a private health clinic, which they contact to provide details of the sender. The question remains: Will the clinic be able to provide the evidence needed to exonerate Lauren?
