At the start of this year, Lauren Bolton disappeared from Weatherfield after losing her job at Roy’s Rolls, sending her friends and family into a panic.
After cops searched her flat they found evidence of a struggle and a bloodied weapon, which led them to believe the teen had been killed.
Her former boss Roy Cropper was and jailed as Weatherfield police became convinced that he paid Lauren for sex before murdering her in a rage.
Luckily for Roy, sick sex trafficker Nathan Curtis ended up being held responsible instead after he was set up by bent copper Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).

In another twist, viewers then discovered that it was actually sleazy Coronation Street solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lil) who was behind the teen’s disappearance.
However, viewers recently became convinced that Lauren is actually still alive after spotting a clue that she might be using a friend's credit card to get by.
And now their theories have been confirmed as TV guides seemingly revealed that the missing teen is set to make a shock return to the cobbles in scenes airing later this month.
One soap took to social media after spotting an upcoming episode description which read: "Lauren apologises to Roy but gets a hostile reception from Carla."
