Lauren's story on Coronation Street took a heartbreaking turn in Friday's episode, leaving fans on edge. If you haven't watched it yet, consider this a spoiler alert because we're about to dive into the details.
Lauren, who has already been through so much, received some unsettling news about her baby boy Frankie. As we know, Frankie has had a tough start in life, spending his first few months in the intensive care unit. But finally, he was able to go home with Lauren. However, her arrest and imprisonment for the murder of her abuser and Frankie's father, Joel Deering, changed everything.
With Lauren in prison, her boyfriend Max has been taking care of Frankie. But in the latest episode, things took a dramatic turn when Joel's parents, Gus and Anthea, took Frankie from the Platts' home during a visit. This caused Max to go into a panic, desperately searching for his son.
To make matters worse, Gus and Anthea returned to the Street and informed Max that they would be fighting to keep Frankie from Lauren. They claimed that "things had changed" and they were no longer in support of Frankie moving to the prison's mother and baby unit.
As if that wasn't enough, prison guards then informed Lauren of a report of bruising on Frankie's body. This caused even more worry and chaos as social services arrived to take Frankie to the hospital. Max was left horrified when he found out that Joel's parents were seeking full custody of Frankie.
Things continued to escalate when Max confronted Gus and Anthea at the hospital, leading to him being questioned by the police. In a moment of vulnerability, Max broke down to his stepmother, Shona Platt, admitting that he felt like he had let Frankie down.
Meanwhile, Lauren visited the hospital to see Frankie and was given a concerning update by the doctors. They explained that the bruises were not consistent with trauma and could have been caused by something else. As they ran more tests, Lauren was left to wonder if her son's condition was serious.
But unfortunately, spoilers for next week's episodes have revealed that Lauren will face even more heartache as Frankie's diagnosis is revealed. Will he pull through? We'll have to wait and see.
