Coronation Street ‘work out’ chilling Lauren twist as murder investigation continues
Coronation Street fans believe they have worked out a chilling twist in Lauren Bolton's ongoing murder investigation, with many convinced she's been kidnapped by 'The Institute'
Coronation Street fans believe they have worked out a major twist as the investigation into Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) disappearance continues.
Over the past few weeks, ITV viewers have been gripped to their screens after the cafe worker disappeared from the famous cobbles. Since then, all eyes have been on her employer Roy Cropper (David Nielson) and her former tutor Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard),
Loyal fans will know the business owner has recently swapped the comfort of Roy’s Rolls for time behind bars after he was remanded in prison until his trial date. And things have only got worse for the TV favourite as he attempts to adjust to life behind bars.
As the dramatic scenes unfold, viewers have flooded to social media to share their suspicions surrounding the blonde bombshell’s disappearance. Until now, many viewers believe the star was murdered as TV villain Nathan Curtis (Chris Harper) returns to Weatherfield.
But some viewers aren’t convinced. Taking to Reddit, one user believes that Lauren may have been kidnapped by the wellness cult, The Institute. Over the past few weeks, Leanne Battersby has slowly become a part of the exclusive community by leader Rowan Cunliffe (Emrhys Cooper).
But the blonde bombshell may not be the only resident who has been enticed into the group. One fan theorised that Rowan could have captured the teenager and recruited her as a secret member of the team.
They suggested: “Two weeks from now, we see Leanne in a dark room chanting ‘reality coding’ with a group of hooded figures. A large stone chamber door opens revealing High Priest Rowan, who brings a masked sacrificial lamb to the group.”
Their theory then takes a dark turn when they predicted that Leanne could take Lauren’s life in a creepy sacrifice. They went on: “Overlord Rowan places the sacrifice on the ritual table covered in vague Magan glyphs.
“Leanne is tasked with delivering the killing blow, only to find out when the mask is removed that she’s killed Lauren.” Meanwhile, other viewers believe that Lauren isn’t really dead and has been hiding out from the police.
Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share their suspicions online. One user penned: “I’m not convinced Lauren is dead! They don’t know she is; someone might be holding her somewhere.” Another agreed: “Lauren’s obviously not actually dead right? Seems way too staged.”
