Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) makes plans to leave Weatherfield in Coronation Street next week, but fiancé Daniel Osbourne’s (Rob Mallard) recent indiscretion threatens to blow up her future happiness.
As fans of the ITV soap may know, actress Lucy Fallon is set to go on maternity leave ahead of welcoming her second child.
Bosses have created an exit plot which sees her character offered her dream job on a magazine in London.
In scenes to air next week, Bethany’s partner Daniel is blindsided when she reveals she’s already accepted the role and wants him to consider a trial move.
Little does she realise, however, that Daniel is currently hiding the guilty secret that he slept with former girlfriend Daisy Midgley (Charlotte Jordan) not long before Christmas.
Even worse, Daisy is now pregnant and doesn’t currently know whether Daniel or Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) is the father.
Next week, Bethany and Daniel are celebrating her new job with mum Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) in the Rovers when Bethany takes Daisy aside and produces the positive pregnancy test she found in her handbag.
Daisy is mortified thinking her encounter with Daniel has been exposed, but Bethany assumes Kit to be the father and wishes her former rival well.
The truth seemingly explodes, as spoilers for later in the week reveal how a furious Sarah rails at Daisy for destroying Bethany’s relationship.
Bethany is still intent on leaving for London, though, and her mum helps her move out of the builder’s yard flat.
Will she and Daniel manage to sort things out before she leaves?
