Daniel suggested that Roy might be guilty! <\/p>
Jailed Roy Cropper (David Neilson) was haunted by memories of missing Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton)<\/a> in tonight\u2019s Coronation Street<\/a> (19th April 2024), just as Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) suggested that Roy might actually be guilty!<\/p>\n Having been repeatedly questioned by the police over his own connection to Lauren, Daniel confronted Max Turner (Paddy Bever), assuming the teen had pointed the finger at him again.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, locals including solicitor Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) hoped that Roy would be proven innocent.<\/p>\n Having called niece Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher), Roy cut their chat short, keen to avoid talking about any hope there might be for his case. Nina told Carla Barlow (Alison King) and Abi Webster (Sally Carman) that she was worried Roy was depressed.<\/p>\n Max gave Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) a piece of his mind for not telling him about his new statement to the police, unaware that Bobby was fibbing about seeing a man fleeing Lauren\u2019s flat.<\/p>\n While Bobby stressed that he didn\u2019t think Daniel was to blame, Max became hellbent on proving Daniel was involved.<\/p>\n Daniel\u2019s girlfriend Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) revealed that Bobby was behind his latest bout of questioning, not Max, while Daniel lamented an article that branded Lauren\u2019s flat as a \u2018knocking shop\u2019.<\/p>\n As the conversation turned to escort work, Daniel was inspired to get in touch with old friend Nicky Wheatley (Kimberly Hart-Simpson), who used to be a sex worker.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n Max ignored cousin Bethany\u2019s warning to leave Daniel alone, and as he spotted Daniel on the move, Max and Bobby followed him to the precinct, where he and Nicky had a friendly reunion. Max took photos of the encounter, convinced he had caught Daniel \u201cred-handed\u201d.<\/p>\n DS Swain (Vicky Myers) later visited Daniel yet again and was forced to reveal she knew he had been with two known sex workers that day. Daniel returned from another grilling, but Bethany was unimpressed that he had lied to her about Nicky.<\/p>\n Daniel insisted that he merely wanted advice from Nicky, who was now an outreach worker, on what might have happened to Lauren.<\/p>\n BREAKING NEWS: Local cafe owner Royston Cropper charged with the murder of missing teenager, Lauren Bolton. @lucymitv<\/a> @ITV<\/a> @ITVX<\/a> @WeAreSTV<\/a> #RoyCropperIsInnocent<\/a> #FreeRoy<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/myJTVnpcQ6<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Coronation Street (@itvcorrie) April 12, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
