Coronation Street’s Lauren Bolton<\/a> will clash with two close friends over her current blackmail ordeal.<\/p>\n

Lauren recently found herself in trouble after she and Betsy Swain stole Tracy McDonald’s florist van. Lauren crashed the vehicle<\/a>, but Betsy felt guilty for involving her in the revenge plan and took the blame for the incident<\/a>. <\/p>\n

However, Lauren isn’t out of the woods as a mysterious individual has been sending her text messages<\/a> threatening to expose the truth about what happened.<\/p>\n

After confiding in Bobby, Lauren tried to ignore the threats, but the blackmailer sent a photo of her behind the wheel of the car. <\/p>\n

In upcoming episodes, Lauren attempts to distract herself by finding a new flat, but is stunned by the prices of the properties. <\/p>\n

She quickly resolves to find a job, with Aadi offering to put in a good word for her at Freshco.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Lauren receives another text from the blackmailer<\/a> who demands \u00a3200 in exchange for not sending the incriminating photo to the police. <\/p>\n

Lauren feels terrified and accepts \u00a3500 from Bobby to pay off the mystery person, hoping to put a stop to their messages.
<\/p>\n

However, Lauren later confesses to Bobby that she instead used the money to put down a deposit on a flat. <\/p>\n

Bobby’s furious and declares their friendship is over, leaving Lauren heartbroken.<\/p>\n
