Coronation Street may have confirmed a character's link to the disappearance of Lauren Bolton, amid fears she had been murdered.

Lauren went missing in February and no one knew her whereabouts, sparking fear when blood and traces of human tissue were found in her flat along with a possible murder weapon, reports the Mirror.

When police began treating it as a murder investigation, Roy Cropper was charged and imprisoned for her murder.

However, his relatives had his back and were determined to get him released - unknown to them, he could hold the key to who was involved in Lauren's vanishing act, after something triggered his memory.

Roy appeared to remember something from around her disappearance, but it was blurred and the audio was muffled.

As he worked on trying to remember what he'd seen, he remembered a moment between Lauren and pal Max Turner in the café.

In the moment, Max is talking to Lauren and she responds to him, with Roy unable to work it all out.

However, Roy did pull a face that hinted he had either worked out what it was about or at least who, with the screen focusing on Max.

It appeared to suggest that Max knew more than he was letting on, or at least Roy thought this was the case.

Many are now wondering if Max is more involved than viewers know, or maybe he knows where Lauren is and what happened to the poor girl.

Max appeared to be asking Lauren: "Is everything alright?" with her suggesting there was nothing wrong, before both of them smiled.

Viewers will have to keep tuned in to find out what it all means, and if Roy can work out what exactly he saw.

Viewers were baffled by what the scene meant, with one asking on X: "Max?" as another said: "Why’s roy got max in his memory?" A third viewer added: "Is Roy having visions from beyond the grave that Max murdered Lauren?"

Another confused fan asked: "Why is Roy seeing Max?" Roy features in more scenes on Friday, so perhaps he will be able to shed some light on the matter!"
