And things only got more explosive when Joel confronted Lauren at the hospital, forcing her into a family room and pleading with her not to reveal what happened. 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 was then that Dee-Dee and Bethany discovered her too, insisting she go to hospital to be checked over, believing she’ll be safe there. However, it wasn’t long until Joel spoke to Lauren privately as he demanded she lie to the police, warning her to say it was Nathan Curtis who a.t.t.a.c.k.e.d. .h.e.r, insisting she say that she made a huge mistake and didn’t want to take things further.

Lauren didn’t want to lie but Joel cruelly pointed out she has no one, promising her a flat and that she could call the shots in their relationship. 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…
