Another popular character says goodbye to Coronation Street in today's episode, streaming now on ITVX, although the farewell may not be a definitive end to their story.
Bobby had provided a sympathetic ear when Lauren disclosed that she was being blackmailed by a mystery harasser, who had photo evidence that she had stolen and crashed a van belonging to Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
Not even Bobby was immune to suspicion as her fear and paranoia grew, particularly after he advised her not to go to the police about the threats, which she interpreted as a potential sign of his guilt.
However, that wasn't before caring friend Bobby could gather the £500 ransom that was demanded of her, posting it through her letterbox in a highly thoughtful and trusting gesture.
Later, he learned that she spent the money on a flat deposit – which he could make peace with – but what weighed much more uncomfortably on his soul is the revelation that he had, at one point, been her suspect number one!
He sternly told Lauren that he had no interest in knowing her anymore, but could some time away thaw those icy feelings? She must be hoping so as losing such a loyal friend would be a difficult blow.
Of course, this may not be a permanent goodbye to Bobby, leaving the door open for his return once he's had a chance to arrange his thoughts about Lauren, but it seems that the character won't be appearing on our screens for a while at least.
