The actress was back filming on the cobbles earlier this year but only made her on-screen return as Lauren Bolton last month
Coronation Street star Cait Fitton has been complimenting her co-star after they recently returned to sharing scenes together. The actress was back filming on the cobbles earlier this year but only made her on-screen return as Lauren Bolton last month.
The character was presumed dead following her sudden disappearance back in February. She went missing after being sacked from her job at Roy’s Rolls and later being visited by a mystery person, who fans of the ITV soap never got to see.
However, in May it was confirmed that it was Joel Deering who was behind teen’s disappearance when a flashback clip revealed the solicitor as being Lauren’s secret ‘boyfriend’ who was giving her money and gifts before he was seen brutally attacking her with a chair leg.
It was in July that Lauren’s fate was confirmed as she returned to Weatherfield, appearing at Roy Cropper’s bedside after he suffered a heart attack following his time in prison for her presumed murder.
However, Joel found her and dragged her into a family room where they had an intense confrontation where flashback clips revealed what really happened between the pair. It was also revealed that Lauren is pregnant and in recent scenes, Corrie viewers saw her give birth prematurely.
It came after they were horrified to discover that Joel’s plans to get Lauren to Ireland appeared to be a ploy and instead, he ordered tablets and secretly added them to some soup which spurred on her early labour. He had locked her in the flat meaning Lauren was alone and trapped before friend Max Turner eventually came to her rescue and Lauren was later taken to the hospital where she gave birth at six months pregnant to a baby boy.
Since then, Joel hasn’t been completely keeping his distance but Max, played by Paddy Bever, has been by Lauren’s side. Following more scenes between the pair, Cait took to Instagram with a fan edit of the characters’ friendship so far which led the soap star to asking a question.
Sharing a black and white photo of the pair in a scene together, Cait asked: “Who wants to see Max and Lauren back together?” She then added a poll with two options: “Yes 100%” or “Nopey Nope”.
Meanwhile, Cait was also among those gushing over Paddy as he shared a string of new snaps on Instagram. Posing for the camera in a checked shirt, the actor captioned the post with a T-shirt emoji and a car emoji.
Cait was among the first to respond, writing: “Gorgeous boy,” alongside a string of love heart eyes emojis while Sydney Martin, who recently joined Corrie as Betsy Swain, commented on the post: “The prettiest.”
It comes after Cait teased the return of Lauren and Max’s romance in a recent Q&A with her followers on Instagram. Cait addressed the possibility after she was asked: “Do you think Lauren and Max will ever rekindle things or just stay as friends?”
She replied with a picture of the pair in a past scene together and said: “They’ll always be an initial spark between Lauren and Max. I hope they can develop their friendship and rekindle what they had.” Cait then added: “Plus I just love working with @paddybever.”
