As violent and evil Joel went to lash out again, Lauren protected her stomach revealing she was five months pregnant with his baby in a huge bombshell before fleeing the hospital.
During Wednesday’s episode, Joel’s fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey and Bethany Platt managed to track down the missing teen at a squat after retracing her bank statements, where she had been fraudulently using Bethany’s old company credit card. An oblivious Dee-Dee, who is unaware that her husband-to-be is evil, let Joel know as he raced to the scene and discovered Lauren before the duo, where she fainted in his arms.

It wasn’t long until DS Swain, who has been in charge of Lauren’s case, arrived at the hospital to which Joel escaped. The episode ended with DS Swain revealing to Lauren that she wanted to finally get answers behind her disappearance…
