Over in Coronation Street, Lauren Bolton has been blackmailing Ryan and Daisy for money after rumbling them both.
However, it’s clear that someone has been pestering Lauren for money with this being the reason as to why she’s so desperate for Ryan to hand over the cash.
Here are 5 theories on who is pressuring Lauren for money in Coronation Street.
Coronation Street theory 1: Justin
Lauren’s been speaking to somebody on the phone and is putting pressure on Ryan and Daisy for money.
Now, a new fan theory suggests that Lauren could be related to Justin, with both wanting the money in a bid to get their own back on the pair.
One fan wrote: “Do you reckon Lauren is related to Justin? And Justin was on the phone? I haven’t read this anywhere I’m just thinking she doesn’t want to blackmail Ryan but when he’s in room she’s committed to blackmailing him? Just seems odd.”
But, could Lauren really be working with Justin to get revenge on Ryan and Daisy?
2: A loan shark
We know that Lauren’s really desperate for Ryan to stay in the flat so that she can afford rent.
But, do Lauren’s financial issues run much deeper than this? Is she involved with a loan shark?
One Coronation Street viewer wondered: “I wonder if Lauren’s dealing with a loan shark…?”
But, does Lauren owe a loan shark some money? Is she in major trouble?
Coronation Street theory 3: Her dad
Lauren’s dad is currently in prison for his involvement in Griff’s extremist group.
Lauren’s trying to turn her life around, securing a job at Roy’s and a flat at the precinct.
But, could she be wanting the money to help her criminal dad escape prison?
One person on X said: “Lauren is probably going to blackmail Ryan to pay for her silence so she can help her terrorist dad in prison.”
4: Drug dealer
Lauren’s come from a bad background and she’s done things she’s not proud of.
However, could she currently be taking drugs? Does she owe a drug dealer some money for her latest fix?
Predicting who was on the phone to Lauren, one person suggested: “It’s either her dad or to do with drugs.”
Coronation Street theory 5: Other family
Not much is known about Lauren’s family other than the fact that her dad’s in prison.
