TWO WEEK CORONATION STREET REVIEW - LAUREN'S ORDEAL

-
Over the past two weeks in my opinion, Coronation Street has included the perfect mix of comedy and drama you only have to look at last Friday's alone (2nd August) with the drama of Lauren Bolton having been mugged which led to the character's premature labour to light hearted moments from many characters in that episode.

The only part of the previous week that frustrated me was that one minute, Joel Deering didn't care about Lauren Bolton giving into premature labour following his actions which I will never understand you only had to watch the final scene in last Friday's episode (2nd August) where he visited Lauren in hospital and the close up of his face. To Monday's episode (5th August) of Joel becoming emotional when he sees his newborn son laying their helpless, I do think the realisation has finally hit him, and maybe he is regretting his actions but I doubt this is what he is thinking - I just wish Dee-Dee Bailey would open her eyes to see what her fiancé is really like, but that's where Joel is being very clever.
Joel can see Lauren is struggling and is continuing to use that even though the vulnerability from Lauren is emotional to watch at times, but I enjoyed the heartfelt scene between Lauren and DS Swain about being a new mother leading to them both opening up who is determined to get answers - really hope Lauren has a back-up copy of the email she 'apparently' deleted as we didn't actually see her doing this on-screen.

Over the past few episodes, we have also seen sassy Lauren and as well as her holding the key to the DNA test frustrating Joel. However, during tonight's episode (9th August) the way Joel rushed to see Lauren who all she wanted was for him to go shopping for her was funny as you can see she is playing him at his own game.

I have nothing but praise for the incredible Cait Fitton who definitely has a bright future ahead.

However, you have to be grateful for Max Platt being the only one to really care about Lauren since discovering her pregnancy - you can see that all he wants to do is help his friend through an extremely hard ordeal especially with all the reassuring words along the way. I am so grateful Corrie has remembered their friendship.
Just as I thought Lauren was going to open up to Max following their chat in the Bistro to her continuing to lie, although I don't think it'll be long before Max is back questioning her again. However, I definitely think Max picked up on her look towards Joel.

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday's at 8pm on ITV 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
