CORONATION Street’s latest episode has exposed two big mysteries – and one has a deadly secret.
Following on from the LSD-fuelled house party at Aadi’s, a number of mysteries have began to unravel across Weatherfield.
On-screen, fans already know that Lauren Bolton accidentally consumed some of the drugs which caused her to see hallucinate and see visions of her dead abuser, Joel Deering.
However, as far as the police and the other residents are concerned, no one can put their finger on just how Lauren got into the state she was in and who it could have been that spiked here.
Elsewhere, TWO more mysteries were kept a secret from viewers.
Following Monday’s episode, it was clear that something was amiss with Nina Lucas, played by Mollie Gallagher, and Summer Spellman (Harriett Bibby) when they returned from their drug-fulled outing screaming in terror and vowing to each other to keep quiet about something.
Throughout today’s episode, viewers watched as Summer and Nina traced their steps which led them to an alleyway.
Without giving anything away, they tried to reassure themselves that they were “in the clear” as there was nothing there.
As the episode continued, they kept quiet from their other pals about whatever happened involving them.
But as the guilt continued to rack Nina, she told Summer that she thought they needed to inform the police of what they’d done.
Summer said to her: “Look, we went back – there was no one there.
“There has been nothing on the news.”
Nina insisted that she “saw what I saw” as Summer tried to convince her it was hallucinations despite them both appearing to have imagined the same thing.
Nina then added: “We need to tell the police!”
Revealing the deadly secret she added: “We left someone to die.”
But just who is it that the pair are referring too?
At the same time as the fallout from the party, Maria was left worried after Gary Windass appeared to go missing.
Although he had spent one night away from home with his mum following a row with Maria, he failed to return as planned.
This caused concern for Maria as he failed to get in touch with her to tell her.
Despite repeated calls, Gary didn’t pick up leaving Maria worried.
But where is Gary and could his disappearance be connected to Summer and Nina’s shocking secret?
