Coronation Street‘s Bethany Platt must decide whether to welcome Daniel Osbourne back into her life next week.
The couple are currently at a crossroads amid an ongoing blame game over Bethany’s decision to undergo cosmetic surgery abroad.
Bethany is currently recovering in a Turkish hospital after undergoing a liposuction procedure which went wrong.
The complications left Bethany battling a serious infection. She was also subsequently told that she’ll have to use a stoma permanently due to damage to her bowel.
Bethany’s loved ones bickered among themselves following the news, with her mum Sarah pointing the finger squarely at Daniel.
Sarah was angry after discovering that Daniel had initially ignored phone calls from a Turkish number, as he was busy having a heart-to-heart with his ex-fiancée Daisy Midgeley.
She speculated that Bethany’s insecurities surrounding her body image were partly sparked by concern about Daniel and Daisy’s ongoing connection.
Next week, Bethany’s grandmother Gail takes out a bridging loan to pay for her medevac flight home to the UK. This leaves Gail more determined than ever to sell the Platt house to recoup the losses.
While everyone waits for Bethany to arrive back, Daniel confides in his father Ken about the troubling situation.
Daniel tells Ken that he’s worried he’s the reason for Bethany’s insecurities around her body image.
Later, Daniel visits Bethany once she’s finally brought into the local hospital.
Sarah tries to intervene, making it very clear that Daniel still isn’t welcome. Will Bethany feel the same way?
Speaking about Sarah’s frosty attitude towards Daniel, Tina O’Brien – who plays her – recently explained: “I think she’s just lashing out. She’s really angry and believes there’s potentially something going on between him and Daisy, because she’s overheard a few things but can’t get to the bottom of it.
“She’s angry with Daniel, but I don’t think she would ever hold him responsible for Bethany choosing to get liposuction because at the end of the day, Bethany’s a grown woman and she makes her own decisions.”
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, October 7 and Wednesday, October 9.
