Coronation Street 'bad boy' leaks return weeks after being seen with on-screen daughter

Reece was arrested for his crimes alongside Griff, Ollie and Dave.

Lauren went to stay with her mother in Devon before she returned to Weatherfield. She was taken under the wing of Roy Cropper but soon got mixed up with solicitor Joel Deering, who groomed her before leaving her for dead in a violent attack.
