Coronation Street introduces a possible new barmaid for the Rovers Return tonight as Carla Connor makes a big decision.
Lauren Bolton becomes the latest character to step behind the bar at the iconic pub, which has been left short-staffed following the departures of Jenny Connor and Daisy Midgeley.
Wednesday's episode sees new manager Glenda Shuttleworth complain to Rovers owner Carla Connor about ongoing staffing issues.
At first, Carla refuses to hire anyone ? insisting that it's important to keep costs down while she searches for new owners to take over.
Later, though, Carla changes her mind as her long-time friend Roy Cropper puts in a good word for Lauren.
Lauren is ready for a fresh start now that her baby son Frankie has been discharged from hospital. Top of her priority list is landing a job so that she can provide for him.
Carla agrees that Lauren can have a trial shift. Will Lauren prove popular with Glenda, Sean Tully and Gemma Winter-Brown as they all put her through her paces?
Jenny recently stood down as manager of The Rovers, getting out early as she knew that Carla would be selling up soon.
The popular character has since moved in with Rita Tanner and has also secured some shifts working at The Kabin.
While Jenny remains part of the show, Daisy recently left Weatherfield for good after nearly five years at The Rovers. Charlotte Jordan, who played Daisy, decided to depart from the role to pursue other projects.
Coronation Street airs these scenes tonight at 8pm on ITV1 and the episode is streaming right now on ITVX.
Who looks after Frankie when Lauren is working behind the bar?
