Coronation Street shock as soap ‘leaks’ secret storyline and accidentally reveals character ‘returns from the dead’
The star has been missing for the past three months
EAGLE-EYED soap fans have realised that Corrie bosses accidentally revealed that they will be bringing a key character ‘back from the dead’.
An update on the ITVX TV guide meant the upcoming twist was inadvertently leaked.
At the start of this year, Lauren Bolton disappeared from Weatherfield after losing her job at Roy’s Rolls, sending her friends and family into a panic.
After cops searched her flat they found evidence of a struggle and a bloodied weapon, which led them to believe the teen had been killed.
Her former boss Roy Cropper was charged with her murder and jailed as Weatherfield police became convinced that he paid Lauren for sex before murdering her in a rage.
Luckily for Roy, sick sex trafficker Nathan Curtis ended up being held responsible instead after he was set up by bent copper Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).
In another twist, viewers then discovered that it was actually sleazy Coronation Street solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lil) who was behind the teen’s disappearance.
However, viewers recently became convinced that Lauren is actually still alive after spotting a clue that she might be using a friend’s credit card to get by.
And now their theories have been confirmed as TV guides seemingly revealed that the missing teen is set to make a shock return to the cobbles in scenes airing later this month.
One soap took to social media after spotting an upcoming episode description which read: “Lauren apologises to Roy but gets a hostile reception from Carla.”
This appears to confirm that Lauren is alive and will be back in town on Friday, July 19.
Coronation Street representatives have been contacted for comment.
It’s not the first time that the soap have inadvertently leaked a huge spoiler via the TV guides being released early.
Earlier this year, The Sun revealed fans had spotted a spoiler that Street villain Nathan Curtis would be returning in shock scenes.
The Virgin Media TV schedule guide revealed exactly what date tormented Bethany Platt would come face to face with her evil abuser Nathan.
Fans ranted as they slammed the soap for ‘spoiling’ their own storylines.
