Coronation Street fans are deeply concerned about baby Frankie after his mother, Lauren Bolton, received distressing news about her son. The infant was born prematurely after Lauren was drugged in an attempt to induce labor or cause a miscarriage, a cruel act perpetrated by Joel Deering. Joel had been secretly providing shelter for Lauren in his flat after she returned to Weatherfield pregnant with his child. Lauren mysteriously disappeared in February after a visit from an unidentified character, leaving Roy Cropper accused of her presumed murder until Joel’s involvement was exposed months later.
Viewers were left in suspense about Lauren’s fate until she reappeared in July to visit a sickly Roy Cropper, revealing the truth about her relationship with Joel. It was uncovered that Joel had been covering Lauren’s expenses in exchange for sex, resulting in her pregnancy. Joel drugged Lauren, leading to her premature labor and the birth of their son. Currently, Joel is avoiding capture by DS Swain for grooming Lauren, while collaborating with his former fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey to bring him down.
During a recent episode, viewers saw Swain and Dee-Dee closing in on Joel as they discovered who delivered the pills that triggered Lauren’s premature labor. However, Joel denied any responsibility during questioning, frustrating Swain. Meanwhile, Frankie was rushed to the hospital after suffering a seizure and a brain bleed, leaving fans worried about his recovery.
On social media, fans expressed their concerns for Frankie, with many hoping for his well-being. Some viewers are also rooting for a romantic reunion between Lauren and Max, while others are content with their friendship. The uncertainty surrounding Frankie’s health and the complex relationships on the show have kept viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next twist in this gripping storyline. Stay tuned to Coronation Street to see how the drama unfolds and whether Frankie will make a full recovery.
