Lauren and Max, a couple from Coronation Street, faced a difficult moment in tonight's episode as they announced their split. It was a tough decision for them, especially after the challenging past few months they had been through together.
Lauren was feeling anxious about her upcoming murder trial and she confided in Max during their visit in the prison. She was set to face the jury for killing her abuser, Joel Deering, who had groomed and attacked her earlier last year. To make matters worse, Lauren had also found out she was pregnant after returning from hiding.
In a twisted turn of events, Joel had drugged Lauren to induce an early labor, but thankfully, baby Frankie survived. Max had tried to protect Lauren from Joel's terrorizing behavior, but things turned violent when they got into a physical altercation. In the end, Lauren ended up hitting Joel with a rock in defense of Max.
During Max's visit, he tried his best to support Lauren and asked how he could make her feel better. But Lauren knew that there was nothing he could do to change the past. As she regretted lying about the circumstances of Joel's murder, it became apparent that she and Max were not on the same page. Everything he said started to grate on her.
With the possibility of 20 years behind bars, Lauren made a difficult decision and decided to end her relationship with Max. She pointed out that their connection was only because of the situation with Joel and it was best to end things before the trial.
Later, Max caught up with his friend Bobby at the cafe and updated him on the situation. Bobby was just as shocked as Max and it was clear that Max didn't want to talk about it anymore. As Max professed his love for Lauren, she reminded him that he hardly knew her and her decision was final.
Will this truly be the end for Lauren and Max or will they find their way back to each other? Only time will tell.
