fans believe they've uncovered the truth about Lauren Bolton's (Cait Fitton) killer and their secret accomplice. Recently, Roy Cropper (David Neilson) has found himself in hot water after he was wrongfully arrested and charged as the prime suspect in the alleged murder of missing teen. Viewers will remember that Lauren, a troubled young girl, mysteriously disappeared from the cobbles in February.
Her sudden absence left her close friend Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) worried after discovering her flat unlocked and empty. The blonde bombshell's departure was never shown on screen, and it appears she didn't inform anyone of her plans to leave Weatherfield, except for Roy. After reporting Lauren missing, Roy has become a person of interest due to his kind-hearted nature.
Suspicions rose when he was caught cleaning Lauren's flat, leading some to believe he was guilty. Following his arrest, internet sleuths have made his life a misery by hounding him with waves of online abuse. In Thursday's episode (May 30), DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) and newcomer Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) believed they had solved the case when they arrested Nathan Curtis.
The TV villain returned to the cobbles last month, but he's no stranger to loyal viewers. He is a known abuser who had previously tormented Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) and was recently released from prison. As they questioned Nathan in his cell, with Joel Deering (Callum Lill) acting as his lawyer, a graphic flashback seemed to point to Nathan .
