With Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon expecting her second child, her character Bethany Platt will soon be leaving Weatherfield – but how?
Bethany has been through some tough times recently after botched cosmetic surgery in Turkey left her with life-threatening sepsis. She survived the medical emergency, but was told she would need a permanent stoma bag.
She’s had difficulties coming to terms with this huge change in her life, both in terms of how she feels about her body and in practical terms, too. The first time she ventured out to the Rovers she was left humiliated when her bag leaked, and she decided she could no longer wear her nicest clothes.
Her relationship with Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) also suffered as he seemed to be constantly saying or doing the wrong thing and making Bethany feel worse as much as he tried to support her.
Recently they’ve become engaged, but Daniel is hiding the guilty secret that he slept with former girlfriend Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) not long before Christmas. Even worse, Daisy is pregnant and doesn’t currently know whether the father of the baby is Daniel or Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).
In recent scenes, Bethany’s insecurities about Daniel were brought to the fore again when Daisy came to the rescue by sourcing a cake for Bertie’s birthday.
To make matters worse, there was some good career news for journalist Bethany when she was offered her dream job on a magazine in London.
Bethany previously lived in London but her journalism career didn’t really get off the ground like she hoped it would. This news really was a dream come true for her and could have signalled the fresh start that she badly needs.
Unfortunately, after being encouraged by Daisy to discuss the offer with Daniel, Bethany was left upset when Daniel automatically assumed that she would decline the offer.
But is Bethany really prepared to give up on her dreams for life in Weatherfield, or could she be set to take the job in London after all?
It was recently revealed that Daisy Midgeley actress Charlotte Jordan would be leaving the cobbles after four years, so could her secret rendezvous with Daniel be set to be exposed.
Could both women be set to leave for a fresh start, leaving Daniel alone to lick his wounds?
Or, could he be set to join one of them?
