HOT SHOCKING UPDATE!! Coronation Street Fans ‘WORK OUT’ Real Father of Lauren Bolton’s Baby – and It’s Not Joel

In a surprising twist, Coronation Street’s Lauren Bolton has dropped a bombshell, claiming she is pregnant with Joel’s child. However, fans are convinced she is lying and believe they have uncovered the real identity of the baby’s father.

Lauren, who had been missing and presumed dead for months, made a shocking return to the ITV soap. Fans will recall her mysterious disappearance after losing her job at Roy’s Rolls, leading to her former boss Roy Cropper being wrongfully arrested for her murder. Fortunately, sex trafficker Nathan Curtis was eventually held responsible for her supposed murder after being set up by the corrupt officer Kit Green.

It wasn’t until last month that viewers discovered that Joel Dearing, a sleazy solicitor, was behind Lauren’s disappearance. In the episode airing on July 7th, it was revealed that Lauren is actually alive and has been hiding. She reappeared at Roy’s bedside in the hospital following his heart attack.

During the episode on July 8th, Lauren tried to make a quick exit from the hospital but was intercepted by her attacker Joel, who dragged her into a family room. A series of flashbacks revealed the truth behind Lauren’s disappearance and her coerced relationship with Joel.

Joel had manipulated Lauren by helping her with bills and eventually forcing her into a sexual relationship. On the day she went missing, Joel violently attacked Lauren when she mentioned his fiancée, Dee Dee Bailey. Despite this, Joel tried to assault Lauren again in the hospital, but she stunned him by clutching her stomach and revealing she was five months pregnant with his child.

However, fans are skeptical about Lauren’s claim. On social media, viewers are certain that Joel is not the father. One user on Twitter, formerly known as X, insisted, “No way is Joel the father, I’m calling it now, she’s lying.” Another suggested that she could be pregnant with Bobby’s child instead, writing, “Bet she’s pregnant with the Bobster’s kid.” A third speculated that the pregnancy might be a ploy, writing, “OMG, she’s pregnant with Joel’s baby, or is she? Or is she just playing him?”

Fans are now eagerly waiting to see if Lauren’s shocking revelation is the truth or another layer of deception.
