Do the two young women share a familial connection?
A new Coronation Street fan theory has proposed that Lauren Bolton and Betsy Swain might secretly be siblings. This theory emerged following last week’s revelation that Lauren’s father, the villainous Rees, isn’t actually her biological dad.
This twist has led fans to wonder if her real father might already be someone we’ve met on the show. Taking the speculation further, another fan theory suggests that Lauren could have a relative in Weatherfield – perhaps even a secret sibling in Betsy Swain.
The two have recently grown close, with Betsy stealing Tracy’s van to get revenge for her injuries. Lauren became involved in Betsy’s plan when she tried to talk her out of destroying Tracy’s goods, only to end up in a crash as they fled.
Betsy took the blame for the incident, allowing Lauren to escape before she could be caught and sent back to prison. The pair are now linked by their crime – but could they also share a hidden connection by blood?
Coronation Street fans are predicting that Betsy is Lauren’s secret sister.
One fan shared this theory online, speculating that Lauren and Betsy could be related.
“Just had a thought—if Betsy’s dad is unknown and Lauren’s father isn’t her real dad, could they be half-sisters with the same father? I’m onto you, Corrie writers,” the commenter was reported as saying by The Sun.
Could the two young women have a deeper connection than they realize?
Coronation Street this week: Betsy explodes at Carla
After allowing Betsy to take the fall for stealing the van last week, Lauren confides in Bobby, revealing that she’s been receiving a series of threatening messages. Meanwhile, Betsy refuses to return to college, leaving Carla to watch over her and suspecting that Betsy is playing her mother.
As Carla observes Betsy pick up a pepper mill with both hands, her belief that Betsy seems to be doing fine sparks a furious outburst from Betsy, who leaps out of her chair in anger. Will Lisa realize that Betsy has been exaggerating the severity of her injuries? And how will she respond when Tracy demands compensation for the stolen van?
