Coronation Street may have revealed a character’s link to the disappearance of Lauren Bolton, amid fears she’s been murdered.

Lauren went missing in February with no one knowing where she went. When blood and traces of human tissue were found in her flat along with a possible murder weapon, police began treating it as a murder investigation.

Roy Cropper has been charged and imprisoned for her murder, with his relatives trying to find out what really happened to get him released. But he could actually hold the key to who was involved in Lauren’s vanishing act, after he remembered something.

Roy appeared to have a memory from around the time she went missing, but it was all blurred and the audio was muffled. As he worked on remembering what he had seen, he realised there was a moment between Lauren and her pal Max Turner in the café.

In the moment, Max is talking to Lauren and she responds to him, with Roy unable to work it all out. But Roy did pull a face that hinted he had either worked out what it was about or at least who, with the screen focusing on Max.

It appeared to hint that Max knew more than he was letting on, or that Roy at least thought this to be the case. So does this confirm Max is more involved than we know, or maybe he actually knows what really happened to Lauren and where she might be?

Max appeared to be asking Lauren: “Is everything alright?” with her suggesting there was nothing wrong, before both of them smiled. Viewers will have to keep tuned in to find out what it all means, and if Roy can work out what exactly he saw.

Viewers were baffled by what the scene meant, with one asking on X: “Max?” as another said: “Why’s roy got max in his memory?” A third viewer added: “Is Roy having visions from beyond the grave that Max murdered Lauren?”
