Coronation Street horror as evil villain makes 'impossible' return against all odds - leaving fans sick to their stomachs
Coronation Street fans were left sick to their stomachs after an evil villain made an 'impossible' return against all odds during Monday's episode of the ITV show.
Lauren Bolton, played by actress Cait Fitton in the programme, couldn't believe her eyes when she thought that she'd seen Joel Deering (Calum Lill) - which makes no sense as he is dead.
After viewers will know the evil solicitor was killed by Lauren back in September last year.
During the most recent episode of Corrie, Lauren didn't realise that she had taken a sip of lemonade, which had LSD in it, when she attended Aadi Alahan's (Adam Hussain) party.
When a man wondered up to her, Lauren was convinced that it was Joel, not knowing that it was actually the drugs taking over her body.
Just before Aadi could get to her and give her the help she needed, Lauren locked herself in the factory.
The teen scared herself that much that she thought that 'Joel' was trying to take her baby Frankie away from her.
'I don't want to do this, give me Frankie please,' she told him.
She then shouted: 'Just give him to me Joel!'
Lauren welcomed Frankie into the world after she fell pregnant with Joel's child after he groomed and abused her for many months.
Those watching at home were left gobsmacked at the scenes and rushed to X.
'Lauren is having a massive trip and seeing dead Joel.'
'OMG Lauren??????????'
'Lauren seeing Joel oh god #corrie.'
'One word for tonight's #Corrie WTF !! That was wacky.'
Lauren and Joel started to get close when he helped her with an arrest.
He also helped her with any money that she needed, but she had to give something back in return - sex.
But Lauren wanted to cut it off at one point and even threatened him that she would tell his girlfriend Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown).
This led him to beating her up and she was left in a really bad way and absent from the Cobbles for half a year.
When she returned to Weatherfield things got heated again and she ended up murdering Joel after he attacked her friend Max Turner (Paddy Bever).
It comes after it was revealed that Jack Carroll has reportedly left the show after two years - and fans have already seen his final scenes.
The actor, 26, who shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent, joined the soap in 2023 as Bobby Crawford.
It's now been revealed by The Mirror that Bobby has departed the soap — though his exit isn't permanent, with the door left ajar for a possible comeback in the future.
A source told the publication: 'Bobby has had a dramatic couple of years on the cobbles, but the time has come to bid farewell. Actor Jack enjoyed his time on the soap, but it's time to move on.
'Viewers won't see the character exit the street as he's already left, with Jack filming his final scenes some time ago.
'The door has been left open for Jack should he wish to come back to the show in the future. With his Aunty Carla there, Bobby will always have a place in Weatherfield.'
