Another agreed: “Is this why they’re bringing Damon back? to give Sarah a wad of cash to save poor Bethany?” Lucy Fallon recently spoke about her character Bethany’s new storyline.

Lucy said: “When I first heard about it I was pleased that they have trusted me with it because it’s an important storyline and, of course, I really enjoy doing issue-based storylines. Obviously, this is really hard-hitting, which is exciting from an actor’s point of view, but it does come with quite a lot of pressure and responsibility to get it right because this happens to real life people.

“The storyline is also incredibly important as there (are) countless horror stories out there of people talking about their experiences of cosmetic surgery abroad. I really hope this storyline can make people rethink going abroad for cosmetic surgery.”
