CORONATION Street fans have aired their disgust at an “abysmal” new storyline.
It centres on the return of one key character who was presumed murdered earlier this year – only to then
be seen drinking in the Rovers Return pub this week.

Coronation Street’s loyal ITV viewers are now full of complaint about pregnant teenager Lauren Bolton’s latest return plot.
The character, played by Cait Fitton, was believed to be dead after she was brutally attacked by Joel Deering – yet then proved she was very much alive as she visited Roy Cropper.
The Roy’s Rolls businessman, played by David Nielsen, was previously charged with murder and sent to prison over the youngster’s disappearance yet, after his release, has sadly suffered a heart attack.
Lauren was seen visiting the Cobbles stalwart – and her former boss – as he lay in bed and, after solicitor Joel’s sinister plan to send the expectant mum to Ireland came to light, fans are tiring of the drama.
After spotting her in Corrie’s iconic boozer on Friday, one took to X to write: “Lauren is such a borefest – I don’t care.”
A second posted: “This Lauren and Joel storyline in #Corrie is abysmal.”
A third mused: “Why on earth did they bring awful Lauren back?
“What happened to her does not make her good or likeable.”
One then surmised: “I am SORRY but this is WEIRD. Lauren has been missing & presumed dead for how long?
“Now she is back and casually having a drink at the pub!??”
