Well yes, the script has to fit the edit...the script writer doesn't just make up some random crap which has no relevance to the actual footage

And the edit is overseen by the exec producer, who would ultimately decide whether they want to comment on this conspiracy that Lauren has seen her mum (which I believe after reading the forums today that's why they decided to comment on it and confirm that it isn't true)

Once again, it would be more trouble than it's worth for them to deny something that is actually true. They could quite easily have kept quiet if they wanted to (as they did with freezer gate) but now they've commented on it it would be more detrimental to them if it were found out they were lying, than it would if they had just told the truth in the first place (because again...since when do they care about what fans think about outside contact? every single task nowadays seems to involve it, I hardly think they'd be bothered about admitting it if it were true since they face so much backlash for all the other outside contact they have anyway yet don't do anything about it)
