Sydney Martin and Cait Fitton have a close bond away from the Cobbles

Cait Fitton celebrated a special occasion with some of her Coronation Street co-stars yesterday. The actress has played the role of Lauren Bolton on the ITV soap since 2022.

The character has been involved in some of the soap’s biggest storylines over the past year. The 23-year-old made her debut after being involved in Max Turner’s far-right storyline. She was then at the centre of the drama when she went missing and was presumed murdered as she became the victim of abuse at the hands of soap villain Joel Deering. Lauren was forced her to flee Weatherfield before returning, pregnant with Joel’s child.

Lauren eventually got revenge when she killed him as he attacked her boyfriend in a train track confrontation before they both threw his body over a bridge and into a canal. Max Turner, portrayed by Paddy Bever, played Lauren Bolton’s boyfriend on the soap.

Off-screen, Cait enjoys a close bond with her Coronation Street colleagues, in particular Sydney Martin who is known for portraying Betsy Swain on the Cobbles. In an Instagram story uploaded this morning, Sydney wrote “HappyInternationalWomen’sDay” as she posed alongside Cait Fitton, Elle Mulvaney (Amy Barlow) and Harriet Bibby (Summer Spellman).

She also shared a video of the Lauren Bolton star blowing out candles on a birthday cake as she celebrated her 23rd birthday. She wrote “This gorgeous girls birthday. Couldn’t do life without you!” The two soap stars regularly keep fans updated on social media and will often share TikTok videos together.

Last week, the two answered a series of questions fired at them by fans, one fan asked Sydney “how does it feel to have Vicky & Ali as your onscreen mums?” The ITV star replied “You really couldn’t ask for better I am very, very lucky” and Cait added “you are so looked after by them.”
