This came as a result of his evil father Joel Deering who spiked Lauren with abortion pills in an attempt to get rid of the baby.

Lauren went on to give birth to Frankie but he was left needing round the clock care.

During his first few weeks, the truth about Lauren’s fractious relationship with Joel and his abusive ways came to light with the crumbling teen being backed by Joel’s ex Dee-Dee and police officer Swain.

But with Joel showing no backing down in his reign of terror, he made shock claims of his own against Lauren as a form of damage limitation.

He claimed that Lauren got the pills of her own accord which led to her being placed under investigation by social services and unable to be allowed alone with Frankie.

In upcoming scenes, Lauren will be left longing to be with her son more than ever amid a devastating health crisis.

Lauren will be enjoying some down time on a breakfast catch-up with Max Turner but is soon shook to the core when she gets a call from Weatherfield General.

The hospital inform her she needs to come quick amid a shock turn in Frankie’s ailing health.

Upon her arrival, it is confirmed that Frankie has suffered a seizure.

Doctors tell Lauren that she cannot see the tot as he has been whisked away for an emergency scan.

Amidst the turmoil, Lauren gets summoned for a meeting with social services.

Accompanied by Dee-Dee, Lauren is told that as they have decided to continue looking into their investigations, she will not be able to spend any more time alone with Frankie.

Instead, she will have to be accompanied by a professional at all times and thus limiting her contact with him.

How will Lauren cope with the news on top of hearing about Frankie’s ill state?

Most complained about soap storylines

Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…

EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners – with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not “unduly disturbing”.

Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom – but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.

Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints – Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford – and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.
