Corrie DS Swain's Shock DNA Link To Lauren 'exposed' As Fans Rumble 'biggest Plot Twist'

Coronation Street’s DS Swain is determined to find out what happened to Lauren Bolton – but fans reckon the copper is actually related to the missing and presumed dead, teenager

Fans of Coronation Street have “figured out” who DS Swain is and are positive that she is related to Lauren Bolton.

Vicky Myers’s portrayal of the character debuted in 2021. She stepped forward to assist in heading the police inquiry into Seb Franklin’s death at the time.

Fans will remember, though, that this year Lauren (Cait Fritton) abruptly disappeared from the well-known street. And it didn’t take long for others to start questioning his disappearance.

Being the first on the scene, DS Swain got right to work on her investigation and has been searching for her ever since. However, in an unexpected development, Lauren’s murder is now thought to have occurred.

Furthermore, DS Swain’s primary suspect is now soap opera legend Roy Cropper (David Neilson), and this week’s events will undoubtedly get more dramatic as he looks for Lauren’s mother. On X, the platform that was then known as Twitter, some fans did, however, speculate that DS Swain might be Lauren’s mother.

“I’ve thought that Lauren is gonna be revealed as DS Swain’s daughter!!” the perceptive fan wrote. “What if Swain is Lauren’s mother? That would be the biggest plot twist,” another person remarked. “OMG is Lauren Detective Swain’s daughter???,” wrote a third.

The fan’s ideas have also been mirrored by an AI tool. In order to determine whether Lauren could be related to DS Swain, Daily Star tested Gemini, one of the most well-known artificially intelligent “creative” tools in the world. The show went on to give examples of why the plot of Lauren being DS Swain’s adopted daughter would be interesting. It gives DS Swain’s character a completely new depth, according to Gemini.

She would be looking into a case that, unbeknownst to everyone, is far closer to her heart. Depending on how it’s written, this personal link could impair her judgment or strengthen her resolve.

“Rising the stakes” would be another justification. “If Swain is Lauren’s relative, the mystery surrounding her disappearance becomes even more personal,” the explanation said. It would increase Swain’s stakes and increase audience interest in the result.

One “unexpected connection” is the third explanation. It’s not something viewers would necessarily predict, which can be advantageous, according to Gemini. Unexpected twists are what make soap operas so exciting, and this one seems delicious.
