Coronation Street’s Lauren Bolton and Ollie Driscoll have their first date next week – heading to the Bistro for a cosy meal together. Could the barmaid finally be lucky in love?

After the pair got on brilliantly on Christmas Day, Ollie asks his Rovers co-worker Lauren on a date. Over dinner at the Bistro, Lauren happily chats away to her handsome companion.

 

 

“After Lauren’s ordeal with evil Joel, and her ex-boyfriend Max getting banged up for more than six years halfway across the country, she hasn’t had much success with finding love,” our Corrie source points out.

“Though, neither has Ollie after he was abruptly dumped by Dee-Dee. They both deserve happiness and have a great laugh together, so hopefully nothing goes wrong – but this is Weatherfield, so we won’t be buying a wedding hat just yet…”

Following on from their successful first date, Ollie invites Lauren to go to a student party in Fallowfield with him.

Excitedly telling Betsy Swain and Carla Connor about her night out, Lauren frets that she has nothing to wear.

Luckily though, style icon Betsy offers to lend her some party clothes.

Is this the start of something special for Lauren and Ollie?

The upcoming scenes could be good news for Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren, as she previously called for her character to enjoy a change of fortunes.

“The more stuff you go through in life, the stronger it makes you,” Cait told Inside Soap last year. “That’s what I want Lauren to be known for, because people who have been through experiences like Lauren’s are warriors and survivors.”

“After Lauren’s experience with Joel, she’s realised how she should be treated,” Cait continued. “I’d like someone similar to her [as a love interest], who’s genuine, down-to-earth and also relatable for the people watching.

“It would be a slow-burner, but hopefully they do bring someone in and I get a Corrie wedding!”
