It has been confirmed that Christopher Harper, known for his role as paedophile Nathan Curtis on Coronation Street, has officially left the show. Earlier this year, the 47-year-old actor returned to the cobbles to reprise his role as Bethany Platt's abuser. In an unexpected plot twist, it was revealed that Nathan was a subscriber to Lauren Bolton's O-Vidz account, which was linked to her sudden disappearance.
Things quickly escalated as Nathan became the prime suspect for Lauren's disappearance after being spotted by Bethany, her boyfriend Daniel Osbourne, and her mother Sarah. The residents of Weatherfield banded together to track him down and forced him to leave the town. In the chaos, Gary Windass even attacked Nathan and later resorted to bribery to make him leave. Sarah also attempted to plant evidence in Nathan's van, but was caught by corrupt police officer Kit Green.
Bethany, who was convinced that Nathan was behind Lauren's disappearance, desperately wanted to be the one to solve the case. She ordered Sarah to leave and then planted Lauren's hair bobble herself. Nathan was arrested for breaching his restraining order and was represented by the manipulative solicitor Joel Deering, who was actually responsible for Lauren's disappearance. Nathan was eventually sent to prison.
In the past week, we have seen Sarah being questioned by DS Lisa Swain about her involvement in Nathan's framing. It appears that Nathan's reign of terror is finally over as actor Chris is moving on to star in a new touring production of the play "Art". In an interview with Digital Spy, he said, "Coronation Street is not a place for the journey of a paedophile to recover and become loved." He also expressed his firm belief that Nathan should never be forgiven and that it was time for him to move on from the show.
In his initial stint on the show in 2016, Nathan was imprisoned for raping Bethany and grooming her for several months. He employed her at his tanning salon and manipulated her into creating tutorials for hairstyles and posting them online. Little did she know, he had hired his assistant Mel Maguire to boost her views and leave positive comments. Bethany fell in love with him and Sarah, who was concerned about their significant age difference, tried to prevent her from contacting him.
But Nathan's true intentions were soon exposed as he began to isolate Bethany from her loved ones and even pimped her out to his friends. After being sexually assaulted, Bethany was left confused and heartbroken. But Nathan continued to manipulate her and even proposed to her. As they planned to run away together, Bethany's family and friends became increasingly worried and she finally sought help from a family at a motorway service station. Nathan and his accomplices were eventually caught and sentenced to prison.
