Corrie's Cait Fitton opens up on harsh sides of fame - 'it's taken time'
Since joining Coronation Street last year, Cait Fitton has braced herself for the challenges of soap stardom. Cait Fitton recently hinted at brewing turmoil for her character, Lauren Bolton, in Coronation Street, saying, "She's at a really stable point of her life. She has a job at the Rovers behind the bar and she's learning the craft. She's trying to build relationships. That's where the party comes in." What starts as fun quickly leads to disaster when Aadi (Adam Hussain), egged on by Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove), decides to throw a bash. READ MORE: Coronation Street Brody's real dad revealed in huge DNA bombshell READ MORE: Amazon reduces 'long lasting' Hugo Boss perfume that 'always gets compliments' In scenes airing on ITV, Lauren attends with Summer, Nina, and Brody, but drama unfolds when newcomer Brody, portrayed by Ryan Mulvey, begins peddling LSD. Confiding in her fans, Cait revealed, "Lauren doesn't even know what is going on," and "She has anxiety over whether or not she should even be there because she doesn't know anybody apart from Betsy. She seems out of place, though she tries her best to fit in." The turn of events sees Lauren accidentally consuming LSD, leading to a harrowing ordeal. "She has a traumatic experience with it," Cait shared, insisting that "We see a side of her that we haven't seen for months." Her experience at the party sets off a chain reaction affecting her trajectory on the show. With anticipation, Cait suggested, "It's going to be a rollercoaster. Everybody at that party - their lives are going to be changed. I don't know how she'll go through it. " Cait has opened up about the challenges of her intense soap scenes, admitting that while she's flourishing as Lauren, the emotional demands of the role have been a journey. "It's taken me a long time to have thick skin, it's not an overnight process," she reveals." We are normal people outside of filming, but everyone sees the characters as actual people. That can be really hard, especially with Lauren, who is a complex character. "The actress shared how tough it's been on set since her co-star Paddy Bever, who played Max Turner, left the show following his character's arrest and imprisonment for arson. "It's been really hard without Paddy," Cait confesses. "My journey started with him and his time ended with me. It was strange to wrap my head around doing scenes without him. I miss working with Paddy." Despite the distance, Cait maintains a strong bond with Paddy. "I am in touch with him," she says, "We're both very busy, but we do catch up. We are in need of an in-person catch-up soon. "In the wake of Paddy's departure, Lauren has found camaraderie with Betsy Swain, portrayed by Sydney Martin, and Cait is thankful for her new co-star. "Sydney has a beautiful aura to be around," Cait praises. "She's so positive and the best person to go to for advice. I had that with Paddy but being with a girl who is the same age as you is different. We clicked straight away. We're always looking for each other at work. She's like my home. " The duo enjoy spending creative time together, even planning a pottery date. However, Cait has also received support from several other co-stars, including David Neilson, who plays Roy Cropper, and Alison King, known for her role as Carla Connor.
