Next week on Coronation Street, the Platt family will face a crisis when Bethany receives some life-changing health news. As many of you may already know, Bethany will be at the center of an important storyline that sheds light on the dangers of seeking cosmetic surgery abroad. In an effort to promote the new Turkish clinic, Bethany flies out for a press trip and decides to undergo liposuction. However, things take a turn for the worse when her surgery is botched, resulting in a severe infection and the need for a permanent stoma. But the nightmare doesn't end there.
As the events unfold next week, Bethany's boyfriend Daniel Osbourne breaks the news to her mother, Sarah Platt, that Bethany is in intensive care and they need to fly out to Turkey immediately. Sarah is faced with the difficult task of breaking the life-changing news to her daughter. Not only was Bethany's surgery botched, but it will have lasting consequences for the rest of her life.
To make matters worse, Daniel reveals that due to travel insurance issues, Bethany cannot leave the country until her hefty £25,000 medical bill is paid. The Platts are left wondering how they will ever afford to pay such a large sum. Just when they think it couldn't get any worse, Bethany regains consciousness and Sarah must tell her that she now has a stoma and will need one for the rest of her life.
Feeling desperate, Daniel comes up with a plan to set up a crowdfunding page to help raise the money. But their worries are far from over as Bethany takes a turn for the worse and Sarah finds her struggling to breathe. Without hesitation, Sarah and Daniel rush to Turkey to be by Bethany's side.
Last week, actress Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany, spoke about the importance of this storyline, stating that there are countless horror stories of people sharing their experiences with botched cosmetic surgeries abroad. With a 94% increase in UK patients seeking corrective treatments for these surgeries over the past three years, Lucy hopes that this storyline will make people think twice before going abroad for cosmetic surgery.
