Coronation Street ‘work out’ Lauren’s killer as Joel and Nathan twist ‘sealed’
New Coronation Street spoilers have revealed we will find out what happened to Lauren Bolton next week on the ITV soap, amid new scenes between Joel Deering and Nathan Curtis
Coronation Street viewers are convinced they’ve worked out a secret link between two characters, and that this could expose who killed Lauren Bolton on the ITV soap.
Lauren is feared dead after going missing in February, with her flat trashed and blood found there too. Detectives found evidence of a brutal assault, including a bloodied weapon with it believed she had been hit over the head.
While no body had been found Lauren is feared dead, with Roy Cropper charged with her murder. But viewers are convinced someone else is the killer and new spoilers may have confirmed some suspicions in their eyes.
With Joel Deering and Nathan Curtis both tipped to be the killer or the person to have at least attacked her, some fans have also been questioning whether the pair are linked. Amid rumours they could be brothers or connected through the child sex grooming gang Nathan was a part of years ago, fans are now believing the latest spoilers have teased a link is definitely there.
Ahead of the killer truth coming out in next week’s special episodes, spoilers confirm Nathan is hauled in for questioning by detectives as evidence mounts against him. But in a surprise turn of events, Joel is revealed to be Nathan’s solicitor which leaves residents furious.
But does Joel have an ulterior motive for helping him, and does this prove they could share a secret link? Fans certainly believe so, and have said Joel is likely helping Nathan to get closer to the case, to cover his tracks as the real killer.
Taking to X, one fan said: “This reads as though it’s Joel I fear.” Another agreed: “Not sure now about Nathan and Joel being brothers… but hearing Joel’s representing Nathan could be something actually.”
A third fan simply questioned: “Joel?” as a fourth viewer posted: “When I read ‘When Bethany shows Ellie a picture of Nathan, will she confirm that it was him’, my brain instantly said it’s not gonna be a picture of Nathan it’s gonna be a picture of Joel.”
