Bethany Platt has finally revealed what really went wrong during her time in London. And her confession left everyone stunned in Coronation Street. She admitted that her dream career spiralled out of control and forced her to make a decision she never saw coming. But just when it seemed the worst was behind her, an unexpected twist pushed her straight into fresh trouble.
Bethany in Custody in Coronation Street
Bethany had originally left the cobbles earlier this year to take up a glossy magazine role in London. But it didn’t pan out the way she hoped. Instead of thriving, she admitted that the job soured quickly and left her with regrets.
Her return soon became even more dramatic when she was taken into custody at Weatherfield’s police station over an alleged car theft. The situation escalated further when DC Kit Green walked into the interview room. She was floored to see Sarah’s daughter being grilled by officers.
PC Heywood explained that Bethany had already told her side of the story but suggested Kit might still want to speak to her. Bethany stuck to her stance that she wasn’t a thief, claiming she had borrowed the car and intended to return it.
She argued that the car belonged to her boss and wouldn’t have been missed. She reasoned that the woman had multiple vehicles and often made her act as chauffeur after boozy “liquid strategy meetings.” But Kit didn’t appear convinced and pressed her to explain more.
The Truth About London
Bethany then dropped her biggest admission yet, she had already quit her London job a week earlier after a disastrous mistake with a confidential source. She explained that she had been left with no choice but to resign or be fired, and she chose to walk away. She insisted that although she might be a screw-up, she wasn’t a thief.
Fortunately for Bethany, Kit managed to get in contact with her boss and persuaded them to drop the claims. She was released without charge and returned home, where Sarah was relieved to see her safe but dismayed. Bethany reassured her mother that she wasn’t going anywhere again and confirmed that she would be staying in Weatherfield for good.
Daniel Shuts Down in Coronation Street
The evening brought another blast from the past as Bethany crossed paths with Daniel Osbourne. Their history had been rocky, but Daniel suggested they have a proper catch-up at the Bistro. Bethany agreed, but when talk turned to romance, she cut him off with no hesitation.
She told him firmly that no matter how sad or lonely he might feel, she would never get back with him. She even went so far as to say that she would rather live celibate in a monastery at the North Pole than give him another chance.
Daniel admitted she was right and confessed he had no plans to rekindle things anyway. He explained that all he wanted was the chance to apologise for his past behaviour. Their exchange made it clear that their relationship was well and truly over.
Now, with her London life behind her, Bethany has planted her roots firmly back in Weatherfield. But with such a dramatic start to her return, could a brand-new romance soon be on the horizon? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street updates and spoilers.
