Bethany Platt's life is about to change in a major way as she becomes the center of an intense and emotional storyline on Coronation Street. The popular ITV soap has confirmed that Bethany will undergo a traumatic botched surgery after convincing her to accept a trip to Turkey to write an advertorial for a friend's new cosmetic surgery company. This decision will ultimately lead to a life-threatening condition for Bethany, leaving her with a permanent stoma.
As the aspiring journalist undergoes the liposuction procedure at the Turkish clinic, things quickly take a turn for the worst when she contracts sepsis. This will have a huge impact on her life as she is left with a permanent stoma, causing her to need constant care and adjustments to her daily routine. This turn of events will not only affect Bethany's physical health, but also her emotional well-being as she struggles to come to terms with the aftermath of the botched surgery.
Her boyfriend, Daniel Osbourne, will receive a terrifying call from the Turkish hospital and rush to be by her side. However, their troubles only intensify when they discover that Bethany did not declare the surgery to her insurance, leaving the Platts frantically trying to come up with the funds to bring her back home.
The idea for this storyline came about as a result of a significant increase in the number of UK patients seeking corrective treatments from botched cosmetic surgeries performed abroad in recent years. The creators of the show want to shed light on the dangerous consequences of choosing to undergo surgery in unfamiliar and unregulated environments.
Actress Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany, expressed her excitement and sense of responsibility for taking on such an important and challenging storyline. She hopes that it will make people think twice before going abroad for cosmetic surgery, and bring awareness to the potential risks and complications that can arise.
The show has also collaborated with the charity Colostomy UK to accurately portray a character living with a stoma bag. The charity hopes that this storyline will educate and inform viewers about the challenges faced by the 200,000 plus people living with a stoma in the UK and create a more Stoma Aware society.
The upcoming episodes of Coronation Street promise to be emotionally charged and thought-provoking as Bethany's journey unfolds.
