Lauren Bolton has opened up about her upsetting past in Coronation Street.
Earlier this week, Roy rejected Lauren when she tried to make a pass at him in response to giving her a job at the café. A dejected Lauren ran off when Roy explained he'd do nothing of the sort.
In Wednesday's (August 16) episode, Roy and Shona worried for Lauren's welfare when she was a no-show for her latest shift at the café.

"I had hoped she had turned up at your house last night," Roy admitted to a confused Shona.

Lauren did later show up at Shona and David's flat, where she tried to explain the mistake she'd made with Roy.
"When it comes to sex, I thought all blokes were the same," she told Shona and Max.
Once she found out Roy was okay, Lauren announced that she'd be leaving Weatherfield without "stressing" over him.
"You know, you don't have to leave. I do crazy things all the time," Shona assured her.

When they were alone, Max asked Lauren confidentially if he was to blame since he'd decided not to get back with her.
"A bloke does something nice for me and I offer to repay the favour," she somberly told him.
Lauren told Max: "I've done it before, you know. It's a transaction."
As Lauren went to pack her things, she also swiped the key to the salon. Shortly after, Lauren explained to Roy that she would be leaving — but he offered to keep the rota open at the café for her.
Lauren ultimately did change her mind about leaving and left Roy a voicemail asking if the job offer still stood. She then snuck off and let herself into the salon with the stolen key.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
