*MY OPINION* WHY CAIT FITTON IS A GREAT ADDITION TO CORONATION STREET

-
It's safe to say that from the very moment, Cait Fitton joined Coronation Street in November 2022 that her character, Lauren Bolton was a very complex character.

Over her time on the Weatherfield based soap, Lauren has been involved with some brilliant storylines along with some funny, heartfelt, and tough scenes. Lauren is one of those characters that I've enjoyed to see develop within a soap.

With Cait Fitton having returned to Weatherfield during Monday 8th July's episode, Lauren has become a lot more of a vulnerable character and rightly so after everything the character has been through.
However, it was during Tuesday 9th July's one hour long episode that saw Lauren reveal her pregnancy with Joel Deering's baby in some emotional scenes I have nothing but praise for this episode and for both Cait and Calum Lill. The emotional journey that Cait took you on was brilliant and showed what a great young actress she is!

During Friday 2nd August's episode where Lauren gave birth to her son at 24 weeks with Max Platt by her side in what was great to see as their friendship is one thing I wish Coronation Street would remember more often. Lauren has definitely become more vulnerable and who can blame her. A standout moment for me was during Monday 19th August's episode as viewers saw a scared new young mum open up about her ordeal with Joel back at the start of the year to his fiancee, Dee-Dee Bailey which saw her realise the extent and vulnerable Lauren returned these scenes saw the walls come down followed by some tense and emotional times.

As the storyline has developed into September with Monday 2nd continued to allow viewers to see a more vulnerable Lauren come to life that especially during this week's episodes which were full of twists and turns as she was told that her son had suffered a seizure. It's been great to see Max being around for Lauren when she needs a friend as these situations she is facing are never easy, so to have a supportive friend is everything! The directing from Vicky Thomas this week has been brilliant especially the close-up that opened Wednesday's episode.
However, Betsy Swain's involvement which was revealed during last night's episode (20th September) surprised me we all know what Joel can do to get what he wants, but at last we know the truth now, and hopefully justice can finally be served for everyone involved.

Cait Fitton, this storyline has allowed you to show people what a brilliant actress you are and the attention to detail from the writers, to the research that has gone into this storyline, and finally to the actors involved Calum Lill,  Channique Sterling-Brown and Paddy Bever so thank you, Coronation Street.

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

HOLLYOAKS REVIEW - FRANKIE OPENED UP AS ISABELLE SMITH DELIVERS SOME EMOTIONAL SCENES

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
