The moment Bethany stages Coronation Street return in new spoiler video – and it causes a shock
Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) heads back to Coronation street next week – but her returning scenes are somewhat surprising.
We last saw Bethany in February. The beloved character had been through a tumultuous time after having a liposuction operation in Turkey. This went wrong, with life-threatening consequences for Bethany. She developed sepsis during the operation and ended up needing a permanent stoma bag.
‘The storyline is also incredibly important as there’s countless horror stories out there of people talking about their experiences of cosmetic surgery abroad’, Lucy said when the botched liposuction storyline was announced.
‘I really hope this storyline can make people rethink going abroad for cosmetic surgery.’
She struggled with her self esteem in the wake of this as she came to terms with having the stoma, but during this time she rekindled her relationship with Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), with the couple becoming engaged.
Unfortunately, Daniel found himself torn between Bethany and feelings he still had for his former fiancée, Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan).
Daisy and Daniel had a one night stand, and when she discovered she was pregnant there was a 50/50 chance that the baby was Daniel’s – the other candidate being Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).
When Bethany revealed that she and Daniel had set their wedding date, Daisy dropped the bombshell that Daniel could be the father of her baby – much to the humiliation of Bethany.
A distraught Bethany ended things with Daniel and headed off to London for a new life – a storyline which covered Lucy Fallon’s maternity leave absence.
Lucy has since given birth to a daughter, Nancy Margaret, who is a sister for her son Sonny Jude. The actress shared gorgeous pictures of the new arrival on her Instagram in January, saying she was ‘in a bubble.’
In this new clip, officer Jess arrives to see Kit, who’s in an oddly good mood. She explains that she needs his assistance with interviewing someone, who’s a suspect in a car theft chase.
As Kit and Jess enter, the person sitting in the chair is revealed to be Bethany!
In the scenes that follow, Bethany explains to Kit that she quit her job in London, ‘borrowed’ her boss’s car without permission and headed north and her old home town of Weatherfield.
This is the kind of situation where it could be handy that Bethany’s mum’s boyfriend is a police officer, and Kit has shown what we might term a flexibility with the law many times in the past.
Will he bend the rules again to keep Bethany out of court?
And what will Daniel have to say when he learns Bethany is back already?
