Lauren's life had been turned upside down ever since Joel Deering entered it. He had caused nothing but trouble and chaos, and now he had set his sights on their unborn baby. The viewers of the popular ITV soap were stunned when it was revealed that Joel was the one responsible for Lauren's sudden disappearance last month.
Everyone had thought that Lauren was gone for good, but then she showed up at Roy Cropper's bedside, where he was recovering from a heart attack. It was then that she dropped the bombshell - she was pregnant with Joel's child. She had only done it to protect herself from his wrath, knowing that he would do whatever it takes to get rid of her.
Joel was faced with a difficult decision, and he knew he had to act fast. He demanded that Lauren frame the notorious paedophile Nathan Curtis for her disappearance, even though she had no intention of pressing charges. In return, she asked Joel to arrange for her to start a new life in Ireland, booking her flights and finding a place for her to stay. Of course, the temporary place was Joel's own flat, giving him the perfect opportunity to keep a close eye on her.
But Joel had more sinister plans in mind. He searched for drugs that could induce premature labour, and in tonight's episode, he contacted the delivery company and urged them to hurry up with the pills. Meanwhile, Lauren was becoming frustrated with Joel's lack of action in booking her flights and felt trapped in his apartment.
Desperate for some normality, Lauren reached out to her old friend Max Turner, but their conversation soon turned into a heated argument. Back at Joel's flat, she was surprised to find that he had bought her a TV to keep her entertained. Despite her fear, Lauren had no choice but to rely on him for stability, especially now that she was pregnant.
Actress Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren, revealed that her character is not grateful for Joel's help, as he had tried to kill her. But she is desperate and her focus is solely on the baby. Lauren had played her trump card by using the baby as evidence against Joel, but he had blackmailed her into staying quiet by promising to support her financially and help her move to Ireland.
As the story unfolds, Lauren begins to experience stomach pains, leaving viewers wondering if Joel has gone through with his plan to harm their unborn child. The tension and fear continue to build as Lauren is torn between her desire for justice and her need for financial stability.
