Corrie's Roy Cropper left shocked by sex offer from Lauren Bolton
Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street's Roy Cropper will receive a huge shock next week, when his new employee Lauren Bolton makes an inappropriate offer.
Lauren recently began working at the café after Shona Platt secured her a job behind the counter. Although Lauren sadly didn't get off to the best start with her new role, this didn't stop kind-hearted Roy from taking her on permanently.
Thankfully, Lauren's skills in the café are improving, and next week, Lauren is thrilled to be able to tell her ex Max Turner that she has had a successful day at work.

Max is genuinely pleased for her as they chat about her new job, but when Lauren misreads the signals and tries to kiss Max, he pulls away from her, as he is happy in his new relationship with Sabrina Adetiba.
Feeling embarrassed, Lauren storms out of the house and heads straight over to the café, where she announces to Roy that she has made a fool of herself and wants to resign from her job.
Roy offers Lauren food and a bed for the night before she makes any rash decisions. However, he is left horrified when Lauren offers to sleep with him to show her gratitude.

Later in the week, Roy leaves a message for Shona, hoping that she might have heard from Lauren, who he hasn't seen since she made her proposition. When Shona reveals that neither she nor Max has seen Lauren since the previous day, Roy becomes increasingly worried.
Lauren does later show up at No. 8 to collect her things, before she inadvertently lets slip to Max and Shona that she made a pass at Roy, because this is what men expect.

Lauren has had a tough time over the past few weeks, after her dad Reece was sentenced to 18 years in prison over his involvement in Griff Reynolds's far-right extremist gang.
Lauren has since decided to cut ties with her father, although she has admitted to Max that she's still missing him.
Thankfully, actress Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren, is having a far happier time, as she recently revealed that starring on Corrie has been her biggest dream since childhood.
"I'm so happy. I've achieved something I never thought I would at 21," she said. "It's mad, I can't believe it."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
