The nurse makes a shocking revelation about Roy Cropper's hospital visitor in tonight’s episode of Coronation Street at 8.00pm. See our TV Guide for full listings.

Poor Roy was left fighting for his life after he suffered a heart attack and was rushed to hospital. While Roy was drifting in and out of consciousness, a visitor appeared at his bedside. But when he told his niece Nina Lucas about the surprise guest, she thought he might have been hallucinating.

Dee-Dee Bailey and Nina are stunned when the nurse confirms that Roy's visitor was a young girl with blonde hair. Dee-Dee tells Bethany Platt and Joel Deering that the police are checking the CCTV to see if it's missing teen Lauren. Is it really her?

Roy is delighted to think that Lauren seems to be alive but Nina is furious that she left it this long to come back and clear his name, before disappearing again.

Bethany informs her mum Sarah about the sighting of Lauren and how the coat she was wearing matches the one they saw on the girl in the CCTV from the pizza place in Leicester and that she was clearly the person using her credit card.

At the precinct, Carla Barlow comes across the gang who were harassing Roy and storms over to give them what for. As Carla gets in her car, one of the gang members cycles towards her and she seizes the moment to exact her revenge. She opens her door and knocks him off his bike, sending him flying to the ground.

Kit presses Kirk Sutherland for information about his stepson Craig Tinker, but Kirk insists that Craig is honest and trustworthy.

In the Bistro, Leanne Battersby piles on the pressure on Amy Barlow to join the Institute. Meanwhile, Nick Tilsley leaves Leanne to hold the fort and takes Toyah Battersby to her hospital appointment.
