ITV Coronation Street’s Daniel Osbourne ‘exposed’ as he’s questioned over Lauren Bolton

Coronation Street’s Daniel Osbourne finds himself under suspicion for missing Lauren Bolton next week.

Only recently, troubled youngster Lauren abruptly left the cobbles and love interest Bobby has been left concerned after he found her flat unlocked with Lauren nowhere to be seen after her earlier claims that she was going to flee Weatherfield.

Soap fans never saw Lauren leave and it seems she told no one close to her of her plan aside Roy Cropper given she immediately vanished. In recent episodes, a concerned Bobby called at Lauren’s flat again to find no answer, so he he headed to the police station to report her missing.

PC Craig Tinker promised to make some enquiries and called at the café to investigate Lauren’s last known movements. Later, Bobby was left unconvinced as Roy explained how he caught Lauren going through Bethany’s bag and he had to let her go, revealing when he called round with her wages, she was talking about moving away to start a new life. In upcoming scenes, Bobby only gets more and more suspicious of Roy while Max Turner questions Daniel.

It’s not long before DS Lisa Swain makes a return as she gets heavily involved in the case with the character, who has appeared on and off since 2021, set to become a cobbles regular. As DS Swain investigates Lauren’s disappearance, fans will see the finger of suspicion fall upon both Daniel and Roy.

In the upcoming scenes, Bobby and Max spend the night watching the police coming and going from Lauren’s flat. It’s not long until Bethany and Daniel call round to ask about Lauren to which a suspicious Max quizzes Daniel about his tutor sessions with the troubled teenager.

Realising the dates don’t stack up, Max eyes Daniel with suspicion. Later, Max heads to the police station to tell DS Swain about Lauren’s O-Vidz account but learns Ryan already told her. In a bid to find out more information, DS Swain questions Max about Lauren’s secret boyfriend.

Max admits that he never met her boyfriend but it’s not long until he fires Daniel into the suspect line but suggesting it could be him. DS Swain is quick to quiz Daniel about his relationship with Lauren, suggesting that she paid for her lessons with sex. Daniel is left utterly horrified at the accusation and when DS Swain drags up his previous relationships with Summer and Nicky Wheatle, he demands a solicitor realising he is under suspicion.

Later, Bethany and Daniel listen in horror to a radio interview with DS Swain in which she suggests that Lauren was murdered. Later in the week, Daniel is left anxious as he confides in Ken Barlow that he hasn’t slept a wink fearing he’ll be banged up for a murder he didn’t commit.
