There's an exit looming on Coronation Street, amid Lauren Bolton being rushed to hospital in a bad way.
The character was accidentally spiked with LSD at a party, leaving her hallucinating and suffering an accident. Lauren had imagined seeing her abuser Joel Deering, the father of her son Frankie.
Despite killing Joel last year, Lauren hallucinated that the villain was back and was out to get her. Events led to her running into the factory, and as she went to leave she fell down some steps.
On Wednesday the character wasn't feeling well, and she was soon rushed to hospital when she collapsed. With Aadi Alahan fearing the worst after Lauren accidentally drank his drink that had the LSD in, Carla Connor stayed with Lauren at the hospital.
It was soon revealed that Lauren had broken ribs and a ruptured spleen after her fall, and Carla began to question what had happened to her that night. As Lauren explained that she had not even drunk that much alcohol, Carla began to wonder if she'd been spiked and took her suspicions to partner Lisa Swain.

Detective Lisa agreed that a drug test could be conducted with Lauren's permission, with Lauren also keen to get to the bottom of it all. Soon enough with Lauren "in a bad way" in hospital, Carla was asking the other party goers about the events and whether there were drugs.
She got no answers, with Lisa then asking colleague Kit Green to have a word with Aadi and the others to find out what went down. With an exit for one character confirmed, is it going to be bad news for one of the party goers?
It could well be the case as Aadi is leaving the show amid him covering up the drugs drama. It was reported earlier this year that actor Adam Hussain was leaving the role after five years.
The actor then spoke out to confirm the news, ready to move on to new adventures. But could this be paving the way for his exit, and might he be sent to prison for what happened to Lauren?

There's also trouble for two other characters, as we edged closer to finding out what Summer Spellman and Nina Lucas were covering up. The pair took LSD at the party, before it was revealed that something bad had been witnessed by them.
On Wednesday night, the girls continued to try to figure out what happened the night before, retracing their steps. But as Nina vowed to go to the police, concerned over what had gone on, Summer told her they could not speak to anyone.
While the show did not give away what had happened and what they saw or did, it was confirmed that they had "left someone to die". Who the mystery person is remains to be seen.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , and Threads.
