The mysterious disappearance of Bobby Crawford

Bobby, who has cerebral palsy, was involved in a major storyline concerning the disappearance of Lauren Bolten, where he tried to frame another character for her murder.

Fans speculate on the reasons behind Bobby's absence

Speculations among fans suggest that Bobby's disappearance may be linked to the negative response his character received. Some viewers believe that the character was written off due to the backlash, as episodes are filmed well in advance of their air date.

On an online forum, Coronation Street fans shared their thoughts on Bobby's sudden absence, with one viewer expressing disbelief at how the character seemed to have been erased from the show. Another fan speculated that the character may have been dropped due to the negative reception.
