The case surrounding Lauren Bolton's disappearance - and suspected murder - continues next week in Coronation Street with Roy Cropper targeted once again - even while behind bars. The beloved cafe owner was recently charged with his former employee's murder.
In upcoming ITV soap scenes, young chess-playing friend Sam Blakeman calls at the café to collect Freddie the dog having promised Nina Lucas he’d walk him before school. As Sam heads out, unbeknown to him, one of the internet sleuths who have been targeting Roy, watches from a table in the corner.
