The character played by Cait Fitton has been causing trouble on the soap since her arrival in November last year. Things have recently taken a dramatic turn on the show, as the character mysteriously vanished last month, with Roy being the last known person to see her alive. The police have presumed Lauren to be dead, and her suspected murderer is walking free.
Suspicions arose after he deep cleaned Lauren’s flat when she disappeared, leading to a murder inquiry and online speculation directed at Roy. In a recent episode, Roy was taken in for questioning and interrogated, with his solicitor Dee Dee by his side. The investigator, Swain, is portrayed as seeing Roy as the man responsible as she delves into his past.
Some viewers are convinced that Lauren may not be dead, speculating on when she might reappear. One viewer expressed frustration by saying, “Make this story involving Roy STOP”.
