Transcript

00:00 "Coronation Street" confirms long-term future for Lauren Bolton.

00:04 She'll have quite a big role to play next year.

00:07 "Coronation Street's" producer Ian McLeod has discussed the show's plans for Lauren

00:11 Bolton heading into 2024.

00:14 The ITV soap introduced Cat Fitton as Lauren last year, when the troubled character played

00:19 a role in Max Turner's far-right extremism storyline.

00:23 She returned as a show regular in summer this year.

00:26 Speaking about Lauren's future on a recent press call, McLeod told Digital Spy and other

00:31 media, "There's definitely more to come from her.

00:34 She'll have quite a big role to play next year.

00:36 I think the way Cat fits in is absolutely marvellous, in the best tradition of those

00:41 tear-away characters that do so well.

00:44 They go and live in Roy's house or work in his cafe.

00:47 My mind is drawn to characters like Fizz and Becky McDonald, I think Lauren is very much

00:52 in that mould."

00:53 He continued, "So there's more to come, we'll see a complexity to her character that maybe

00:58 we weren't aware of.

01:00 We'll now explore all the different elements of Cat's range.

01:03 She's quite punchy and she's quite funny, we'll see her get to be in quite a romantic

01:07 set of stories, but she will continue to be quite troubled."

01:11 There is more to come from Lauren as Roy's next project and in her own right.

01:16 Viewers recently saw Ryan Conner move in with Lauren in a flat at the Weatherfield precinct.

01:21 Their friendship turned sour within weeks when Ryan wanted to move out again and Lauren

01:25 blackmailed him to stay, using her knowledge of his affair with Daisy Midgley to her advantage.

01:31 Cat recently explained, "Lauren has never had any stability in her life.

01:36 She's gone from being with her dad in Griff's flat to being at home with her mum, being

01:40 homeless then being put in Audrey's salon, going to Max's and then finally having her

01:44 own flat.

01:46 Now that she's in her own flat, she is looking for someone to share it with.

01:50 Lauren just needs to be loved, but most importantly, loved by herself, which was something that

01:55 Ryan was helping her with.
