Two months into their relationship and the couple will be hitting the rocks in upcoming scenes of the ITV soap.
Next week, Sean Tully (played by Antony Cotton) prepares himself for an evening out with his son Dylan and new partner Laurence, he asks Todd Grimshaw to take a photo.
The undertaker portrayed by Gareth Pierce is given Laurence’s phone but is immediately shocked by a photo popping up on the device.
In later scenes, after being undoubtedly told about the off-putting snap, Sean tries to crack the code on Laurence’s phone, convinced he’s hiding something.
Sadly, he’s caught in the midst of his attempts and, snatching his phone back, Laurence storms out of the pub, leaving Sean red-faced.
Sean is devastated and Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) tries to help with some words of advice.
She tells him that if he wants to win Laurence back, he’ll need to make a grand gesture, suggesting turning up at his surgery with flowers.
The Underworld machinist follows through – but his trip to the surgery doesn’t go as planned.
It’s no wonder Sean’s trust issues could get the best of him, most notably following his summer romance with Frank Bardsley.
Earlier in 2022, Sean fell for Frank but had to make a tough decision upon finding out his past as George Shuttleworth’s bully.
Frank also showed off his nasty side, particularly to Sean’s son Dylan.
He eventually met Laurence in August, 2022, and the pair were set up together by Glenda, George and Dylan.
The year has already been full of ups and downs for Sean and not just in the love department.
His son Dylan recently decided to remain in the cobbles with him after being called back to his mother Violet in London.
Could things get more challenging for Sean, as teased by actor Antony Cotton?
The soap star has been playing the character since 2003 and signed a new contract in November, 2021.
Speaking about his character, Antony said: “There are stories that we tried to do, but in the end we couldn’t because of the pandemic.”
“So now they will happen over the next year. I have a very big, dramatic storyline that I am hoping we can now pick up and do properly.”
Could this involve his new on-screen boyfriend Laurence?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
