Daisy Midgeley takes revenge on Bethany Platt in Coronation Street
While she's preoccupied with Bethany, Daisy has no clue somebody close to her is due to return to Weatherfield...
PAYBACK time has arrived for Daisy Midgeley after Bethany Platt decided to use her story for her financial gain.
The Coronation Street barmaid played by Charlotte Jordan stoops to a new low as she remains hellbent on revenge.
A cash-strapped Bethany Platt (portrayed by Lucy Fallon) rocked up the ITV cobbles earlier this year and rekindled her romance with Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard).
But as her money woes grew more concerning, she decided to do whatever she could to fix them – including taking advantage of Daniel and Daisy’s most recent separation.
In recent scenes of the Manchester-based program, Bethany came up with an article for Chit Chat Magazine in which she recounted Daisy’s affair with Ryan Connor.
This illicit romance, as viewers will recall, took place after the waiter had saved her from a harrowing acid attack, while she was getting ready to tie the knot with Daniel.
Bethany and Daniel split up as the article drove a clear wedge between them, but there’s more trouble looming on the horizon.
Coming up next week, Daisy is publicly humiliated when her affair makes the front page but she’s known for her mean streak and she grows determined to get Bethany back.
It all begins when Daniel asks Daisy if she’ll look after his son Bertie for a few hours she agrees, looking wistfully after Daniel.
Daisy confides in Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) that there’s still a spark between her and Daniel and she hopes they can get back together.
But with Rita Tanner’s birthday party in full swing in the Rovers, Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) receives a message and accidentally airdrops it to everyone in the pub.
Daisy’s face falls as she reads ‘I had a Torrid Affair with my Acid Attack Hero’.
In later scenes, Daniel apologises to Daisy for failing to warn her about the article but she gives him short shrift.
He then tries to make up with Bethany but she too cuts him dead.
Later on, Bethany is back to square one after a harsh conversation with her editor.
A fuming Bethany tells her mother Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) that because of Daisy making a complaint, she’s been sacked.
Bethany confronts Daisy, accusing her of sabotaging her career.
Daniel heads over, shocked to hear that Daisy had Bethany fired.
As the row escalates, Daisy reveals Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) blackmailed her and Ryan and only asked Daniel to tutor her so she could increase the pressure, leaving her ex reeling.
Lauren found out about Daisy and Ryan’s affair and, desperate for money as she undergoes her own tragic ordeal, she told them they could buy her silence for a whopping amount of cash.
But what will Bethany do?
Could her feud with Daisy take explosive proportions?
While this remains to be seen, back home Daisy broods.
But when her stepmother Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) reveals she’s got a visitor, Daisy’s gobsmacked to see Ryan.
Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) left the cobbles alongside his new love interest, Crystal Hyde.
The pair fled to Glasgow for a fresh start, but not before Ryan and Daniel had a heated altercation about the former’s affair with Daisy.
Why would he return?
Could it be linked to his ex Bethany’s article?
Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
