A potential new romance is starting to develop in Coronation Street.
Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) has been in hospital ever since she took LSD at a party last week. The evening was hosted at the Alahan household, but it descended into disaster due to Lauren, Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) and Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) all taking hallucinogenic drugs.
Lauren consumed the drug and stumbled into the ginnel. There, a man asked if she was okay, but in her delirious state, Lauren believed the man to be Joel Deering (Calum Lill) and completely panicked.
As her hallucinations got stronger, Lauren stumbled into the factory, where she believed that Joel had taken Frankie.
Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) found her, and has continued to support Lauren in the aftermath.
This was picked up on by Lauren’s mate Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) a couple of days ago. She said she had no idea Lauren was so close to Aadi, and it was clear that Lauren hadn’t really thought about this, as it just felt quite natural.
In tonight’s episode, Aadi remained consumed with guilt following the disastrous party. He attempted to tell Lauren the truth about the drugs, but he bottled it when she was nice to him, and said he shouldn’t blame himself.

To try and feel better about the situation, Aadi later told Lauren that he’s going to lend her some money until she’s back on her feet.
It’s very clear that Lauren and Aadi are getting closer, but could they start seeing each other romantically?
Let’s not forget that Adam Hussain is leaving his role soon, so even if Lauren and Aadi did start dating, it probably won’t last for very long…
