Coronation Street has promised fans "a huge week of drama" next week centred on the Lauren murder mystery "as the show's biggest secret is revealed after months of suspicion and intrigue".
Announcing the special week with a trailer, the ITV soap said the episodes will be "stripped across five nights with the first four episodes reliving the same day but through different characters' eyes".
"We see Sarah (Tina O'Brien) determined to rid daughter Bethany (Lucy Fallon) of her evil ex-abuser Nathan (Chris Harper) who has been making his presence felt once more," Coronation Street continued.
"With Bethany threatening to leave Weatherfield, Sarah is determined to prove that Nathan is behind Lauren's disappearance, whatever the stakes.
"Carla (Alison King) and Bobby (Jack Carroll) are under pressure, accused of perverting the course of justice as they desperately try to clear Roy's name.
"DS Swain (Vicky Myers) also has Nathan in her sights. The evidence against him mounting, are the police about to nail their man or is there still more to this mystery than meets the eye?
"Meanwhile, as Dee-dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) fights for justice for Roy, far-right activist Griff (Michael Condron) lands back in Weatherfield prison where Roy (David Neilson) is on remand awaiting trial for Lauren's murder.
"With old scores to settle and revenge on his mind, Griff takes it upon himself to try and force a confession out of Roy. Believing him to be Lauren's killer, Griff is out for blood and it soon becomes clear that Roy is in grave danger.
"But as Roy's life hangs in the balance, an invaluable piece of evidence which [sic] could clear the innocent cafe owner's name will come to light in a shocking revelation for the viewers.
"The week ends as a new day dawns in Friday's episode and the mystery of Lauren's fate continues to be unravelled."
Coronation Street Executive Producer Iain MacLeod said: "This week is so gripping and unlike anything Coronation Street has done before, in terms of the storytelling.
"It's modern, really exciting, and has some of our favourite characters right in the middle of the drama.
"The murder mystery around Lauren has had us all on the edge of our seats and the race against time across this week to solve it before Roy gets seriously hurt is so engrossing and cleverly plotted.
"It is also the launchpad for a massive new chapter in that narrative - so you really won't want to miss it, if you want to carry on trying to piece together this thrilling puzzle!"
The episodes will air across five nights on Virgin Media One and ITV from Monday 27 May to Friday 31 May.
