CORONATION STREET EPISODE REVIEW - LAUREN BOLTON OPENS UP TO DEE-DEE BAILEY

-
During tonight's episode (19th August) of Coronation Street viewers saw Lauren Bolton's walls break down to Dee-Dee Bailey as she opens up about her ordeal in some heart-breaking scenes.

Following on last Friday's episode (16th August) where DS Swain was seen questioning Joel Deering following an admission from her daughter, Betsy continuing into this week as Dee-Dee became even more suspicious of her fiancé. DS Swain, I really hope you are the one to get to the bottom of their ordeal.
The revelations unfold rather quickly for Dee-Dee following her chat with DS Swain regarding Lauren as she asked Roy Cropper about the necklace she was seen wearing before her disappearance.

At her son Frankie's incubator, Dee-Dee visits Lauren before questioning her about involvement, but Lauren was quick to tell her about her son's improvement and rightly so - that's before she mentioned her planned move to Belfast which left Dee-Dee surprised.

Upon deciding to follow Joel to the hospital where he visited his son and Lauren, I didn't expect Dee-Dee to watch from a distance. It was the third part of the episode that saw some flashbacks begin with the clues all being pieced together - you can't help but feel for Dee-Dee!

The moment Dee-Dee began questioning the new mum where she finally admitted the truth in some emotional and hard-hitting scenes especially as they realised what Joel could have done to Frankie that's when the realisation hits them both hard! I found it so hard to listen to everything Lauren has been through as the walls began breaking down for the young character. I can see a wonderful friendship developing between Lauren and Dee-Dee.
Cait Fitton and Channique Sterling-Brown delivered these scenes brilliantly where I have nothing but praise for!

However, Joel overheard the two women talk, I was worried about what he could do next which became apparent as Lauren and Dee-Dee went to the police station and bumped into him who had been twisting the truth to Kit Green after they had been to chat with DS Swain who then needed to ask Lauren more questions as she arrested Joel at the same time - Lauren's terrified, she's not as brave as she leads everyone to believe! I can see this ordeal breaking Lauren and revealing a completely different side of the character for the better in my opinion.

I really hope Lauren leans on Max Platt who let's be honest has been the one constant friend that has been there for her since her arrival having always known how best to support her and I really hope Coronation Street remembers this. I'd also like to see Lauren's friendship with Roy return, but I don't know if that can get it to the way it was, however, even just a little bit would be nice.

This episode of Coronation Street aired on Monday 19th August at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Next week's Hollyoaks episodes are set to be emotional ones for Frankie Osborne as she continues to open up to her loved ones and to think that Isabelle Smith only arrived on our screens in January of this year. When asked how would you describe the Osborne/ Ashworth family dynamic over the past few months, Isabelle said  "The family dynamic between the Osborne’s and the Ashworth’s has been tricky to navigate for each individual family member..." Before continuing "Her mum Suzanne, Darren and Nancy clash on differing opinions and the outbursts that Frankie has. These acts of defiance are Frankie’s way of coping and they seem to be dividing the family when all she really wants is for them to surround her with support." Frankie's sibling relationship with Oscar has grown over the past few months since she learned sign language, can you please us about this?  "The relationship between Frankie and Oscar is some of my favourite scenes to play! It’s like Fran

It's hard to believe that Isabelle Smith only arrived on our screens in the Chester based soap Hollyoaks in January 2024 which has seen her character, Frankie Osborne go through some tough times. Over the past few months in Hollyoaks, Frankie Osborne has had a tough time, but viewers have seen Grace Black support Frankie during Monday 22nd July's episode on E4 where Frankie opened up to her uncle, Freddie Roscoe who was in a coma at the time.  You could see a change in the character once this had happened as the vulnerability shines through in an emotional scene. You can really understand the turmoil in Frankie as all she wants to do is protect her loved ones. Photo Credit: Lime Pictures/ Hollyoaks *Written as I watched on E4* During last Thursday's episode (15th August) viewers saw the start of Frankie breaking down following her ordeal which saw her become even more anxious around her brother, JJ following her slip-up during a conversation with Darren Osborne, you only ha

Since Isabelle Smith  arrived on our screens back in January, Hollyoaks viewers have seen a hard-hitting storyline for her character, Frankie Osborne who since  February has had tough relationships with Osborne family especially Nancy and Jack, and looking back now you can see the cries for help with her moods, attitude, and vulnerability that have changed across the past 6 months. Frankie's used dance as her escape seeing her audition for dance school. With Darren having been the one wanting to protect Frankie with everything that has arose. One of my favourite moments was Frankie learning sign language so she could communicate with Oscar allowing people to see the caring side to the character. The first appearance of Frankie Osborne came in Wednesday's episode (4th September) where her dance place got deferred leaving her devastated as Darren continued to support Frankie seeing her become emotional about her return to school it was clear how much Darren has Frankie's best
