Coronation Street fans think they have guessed Ellie's next move as she was discovered alive following a sudden disappearing act earlier this week.

Her link to Joel Deering was revealed in the ITV soap as it was also confirmed the solicitor is behind the disappearance - and suspected murder - of Lauren Bolton.

Teenager Lauren was last seen on the cobbles on February 23 after being sacked from her job at Roy's Rolls by Roy Cropper. The café owner later visited her with her wages and some extra cash to tide her over and his kindness was later taken as evidence that he was to blame for Lauren's death However, weeks later and after a number of episodes shown the same day from different characters' perspectives, Roy was rightfully released from prison and the truth was finally revealed - but only to those watching at home.

They now think it was Nathan Curtis following the return of Bethany Platt's groomer as he was charged with Lauren's murder after newcomer Kit Green planted evidence in his van, after catching Sarah Barlow thinking about doing the same, and it was Joel who was the duty solicitor drafted in to support the former offender.
