ITV Coronation Street ‘work out’ Max’s link to Lauren’s ‘murder’ after ‘fake concern’

Coronation Street viewers think someone close to Lauren Bolton could know more than they are letting on about her vanishing act.

The teen, played by actress Cait Fitton, vanished from Weatherfield last month and is now feared dead. No one has seen her or heard from her since last month, and a recent gruesome discovery at her flat left police convinced she has been killed.

Amid speculation over the identity of her mystery ex-boyfriend and her possible killer, fans are now wondering if a concerned citizen could know more than they’ve revealed. One of Lauren’s closest pals Max Turner has been one of the residents behind getting Lauren’s disappearance taken seriously.

He’s worried for his pal, not having heard from her and now not knowing if she is alive. On Friday, DS Swain confirmed a likely murder weapon had been located, after blood and human tissue was found on an item from the flat.

Swain told current murder suspect Roy Cropper that given the evidence found, she had likely been hit over the head as the blood and human tissue found was consistent with blunt head trauma. The blood traces were found on the curtains, but also a broken chair leg possibly used in an attack.

But amid Max being fearful for his friend and watching on as the police investigate, as well as him being part of a vigil, fans are sure he might be hiding something. After all, Max has been seen to target former teacher Daniel Osbourne, just like he has done in the past.

After a vendetta, Max accused Daniel of inappropriate behaviour with a student, Summer, and now he’s suggested to police that Daniel is the mystery ex harassing and hurting Lauren before she vanished. Daniel ended up getting questioned as Max suggested to police that Daniel was tutoring Lauren in exchange for sex, and that he was possibly harassing her.

But now some fans think recent scenes may allude to Max’s own guilt, or maybe he knows where Lauren really is. From him going to the police with apparent evidence and watching as investigators took over Lauren’s flat, his actions have left some fans wondering if he knows her true fate.

Some viewers even questioned whether he or his girlfriend Sabrina might have caused her disappearance. Taking to social media, one fan posted: “I wonder if Sabrina has something to do with Lauren’s disappearance?? Seems shady that she’s suddenly not around.”

Another added: “I think Max’s got something to do with it,” as a third agreed: “My thoughts too.” A further comment read: “Wonder why Max is telling the police to check out Daniel and others that had dealings with her. Is he hiding something?”
