Bethany Platt had returned to Coronation Street and was feeling delighted to be back in her role. However, there was also a sense of pain for her alter-ego. Ever since her return, Bethany had been keeping a secret about her time in London and the reason for her return to Weatherfield.
As viewers have seen, Bethany was facing financial problems and her journalism career was not going as well as she had hoped. In an interview, actress Lucy Fallon revealed that this was a huge embarrassment for Bethany. She explained, "Bethany had gone to London with the goal of making something of herself. She got a good job there, but now everything has fallen apart."
Bethany had initially planned to return to Weatherfield temporarily, but her financial situation and the need to live rent-free with her mother forced her to stay longer than expected. According to Lucy, Bethany was embarrassed by this situation and wanted everyone to think that she was doing well.
Moreover, Bethany's family had been through a lot in the past couple of months, so she didn't want to burden them with her problems. In a desperate attempt to make some money, Bethany took on an assignment from a gossipy magazine called Chit Chat. She decided to write a story about the love triangle between Daniel, Daisy, and Ryan.
Lucy speculated that Bethany's decision to write about this particular topic was driven by both desperation and curiosity. She explained, "Bethany is initially doing it out of desperation, but she's also intrigued by the drama surrounding Daisy and Daniel." Despite their animosity towards each other, Bethany couldn't help but be drawn to the story.
However, Lucy also pointed out that Bethany felt guilty for using Lauren, who was Ryan's former flatmate, to get insider information for her article. Bethany had offered to tutor Lauren, but in reality, she was using her to get information. This made Bethany feel guilty, especially since Lauren saw her as a friend.
Of course, Bethany had been away in London when Daisy betrayed her then-fiancé Daniel by sleeping with Ryan. But she managed to get all the juicy details from Lauren during their tutoring sessions. Lucy also revealed that Bethany would feel the consequences of her actions when Daisy and Daniel find out about the article. She predicted a heated argument between them.
As for what's to come for Bethany, Lucy teased that there would be more drama and tension between her and Daniel. She said, "Bethany is quite defensive when Daniel confronts her about the article. He sees her writing for Chit Chat as beneath him, which angers her. And when he finds out the truth about the article, he will be rightfully angry."
In the end, Lucy hinted that Bethany would have some justifications for her actions, but only time will tell how everything will unfold. Meanwhile, fans of Coronation Street can expect more schedule changes and chaos as the show is pulled from TV yet again.
