Things are getting pretty tense in Coronation Street as Joel Deering continues to tighten his grip on Lauren Bolton's life. In fact, next week's episodes will see him go to great lengths to ensure that she is as far away from Weatherfield as possible.
The recent visit to Roy in the hospital confirmed Lauren's fate, and we finally got some answers about what really happened to her. As it turns out, she didn't die as a result of Joel's attack, but instead, she had been living rough ever since she fled the flat.
During the confrontation at the hospital, we also learned more about Joel and Lauren's relationship. It seems that they first met last September, and from then on, Joel would give her money for food and electricity, but in return, he expected sexual favors from her.
In February, Lauren finally stood up to Joel and threatened to tell Dee-Dee the truth about their arrangement. This didn't sit well with the evil solicitor, and he ended up attacking her with a chair leg.
But the drama doesn't end there. In upcoming episodes, Michael and Ronnie offer to help Joel move a chest of drawers from his old flat to Dee-Dee's place. The only problem is that Joel needs to get Lauren out of the flat before they arrive.
To solve this issue, Joel gives Lauren some cash under the guise of buying things for their baby. While Michael is busy helping Joel, Ronnie takes a look in the fridge and notices that it's filled with ready meals for one, which raises some suspicions.
As the week goes on, Joel becomes more and more paranoid about the truth coming out. He promises Lauren that she will be on her way to Ireland within a week, but will his plan actually work? Can Lauren leave without revealing the truth about Joel to the rest of the Weatherfield residents?

In a recent interview, actress Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren on the show, opened up about her character's struggles. "Obviously, when you go through any sort of trauma, us as human beings like to push it to the back of our minds and hope it goes away. But it's always there, it's never going to go away," she explained.
"With Lauren, she tries to move on and put it behind her, but she rushes the process. Just like grief, you can't rush it, you have to go through it as and when it happens," Fitton continued. "Since she left Weatherfield, she's been bouncing from hostel to hostel, sleeping on the streets, unable to pay rent, and getting kicked out of different places. And now, she has even more things to worry about."
