Coronation Street has finally solved the mystery of who killed Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) months – with solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lill) being unmasked as the culprit.
We saw Lauren disappear without many traces back in February, leading to a colossal miscarriage of justice that saw kindly café king Roy Cropper (David Neilson) in the frame.
Until this week, Roy has been languishing in prison, facing serious danger from a blade wielding inmate after Lauren’s dad Griff had him targeted.
It’s a bit of a travesty – let’s not get into the flimsy evidence that DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) and gang have used to incarcerate him!
However, when Nathan Curtis (Chris Harper) entered the fray after being released from prison and lurking around the Street, it seemed like the more likely culprit in Lauren’s disappearance had been found.
A groomer, sex abuser and rapist, he fits the bill of someone with a known track record of harming young girls.

When Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) became convinced, understandably, of his involvement, Sarah (Tina O’Brien) stood up for her daughter and took the risky action of planting Lauren’s hair in the back of his van.
