Coronation Street fans ‘work out’ newcomer Lauren’s resident link

Coronation Street newcomer Lauren Bolton (played by Cait Fitton) has been seducing Max Turner (Paddy Beaver) over the last couple of weeks after being lured into Griff Reynold’s (Michael Condron) gang. She has since managed to turn him against his friend and Speed Daal colleague Daryan and seems to be leading him down a dark path. However, fans have claimed Lauren is hiding a DNA link to recently departed resident Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson), going as far to say she is her secret sister.Monday night saw Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) confronting Griff and his gang after Spider Nugent (Martin Hancock) threw red paint over the doors of Speed Daal.However, things soon took a dark turn when she was met with a barrage of racist abuse disguised as banter.Max looked smug as he drove away with Griff, and left Alya feeling confused and hurt he could let them speak to her the way they did.Getting the wrong influence from Griff and his gang, he even told Daryan: “You’re stealing my oxygen,” after Lauren began to plant ideas in his head.READ MORE: I’m A Celebrity shake-up as live trial axed Coronation Street fans ‘work out’ newcomer Lauren’s secret link to former resident (Image: ITV) Max has been getting closer to Lauren as she seduces him (Image: ITV) Fans think she is somehow related to Kelly Neelan, or worse Callum Logan (Image: ITV) Lauren claimed that Daryan had made her feel uncomfortable which led to a tense exchange (Image: ITV)”Or Rick Neelan’s [Greg Wood] secret lovechild… she’s gonna have a link to someone on the cobbles!” (sic)Hilda Ogden sarcastically quipped: “Well, everybody knows that all white, blonde, young women look the same.

Lauren and Kelly are each other double! Rick Neelan’s long lost daughter on the same path as him?”However, not everyone was convinced by the lookalikes, with @kinners40 said: “So because Lauren is blonde people seem to think she looks like Kelly lol!”While Justin Rafferty theorised: “I think Lauren is probably Callum’s daughter.”If the theory of Lauren being Callum Logan’s (Sean Ward) son, it would become a devastating twist for the pair as they recently slept with one another.
