After a long absence, Nathan is making his return to Weatherfield. However, it won't be a happy reunion for everyone. Bethany Platt, who has been through so much at the hands of Nathan, will come face to face with her abuser once again. Nathan, who had groomed and abused Bethany, will be back in town as part of Lauren Bolton's storyline.
Actor Chris Harper, who plays Nathan, was surprised to receive the call to reprise his role. He had assumed that Nathan would still be in prison, but unfortunately, he has been released. Chris believes that it is not uncommon for perpetrators like Nathan to return to the place where they committed their crimes. So, it all made sense to him when he got the call.
The representation of Bethany's story has been praised by organizations such as S.H.E.UK, Voicing CSA, Barnado's, and the NSPCC. They are thrilled that the show is continuing to shed light on the issue of grooming and abuse. In the upcoming episodes, we will see Bethany trying to move on with her life as a survivor. However, Nathan's impact on her is far from over.
Bethany decides to go to the precinct to watch the reconstruction of Lauren's last known movements. As she scans the crowd, she is horrified to spot Nathan among the people. She rushes back to her flat and tells Daniel about seeing Nathan. But he dismisses it, thinking that it was just Bethany's mind playing tricks on her. After all, Nathan is still in prison, right?
Wrong. DS Swain reveals to Bethany that Nathan was actually released months ago. Shocked and determined to confront her abuser, Bethany tracks him down at a building site near the precinct. When Nathan appears, Bethany accuses him of murdering Lauren. But is her theory correct? And what will this mean for Roy Cropper, who has been a father figure to Bethany?
In other news, a scene that aired three months ago seems to have confirmed Joel's involvement in Lauren's murder on Coronation Street. Fans are left heartbroken as they watch a teen character die while Roy Cropper receives devastating news. Meanwhile, Tim makes a sad decision and a beloved character is diagnosed with pneumonia before their eventual death. These are just some of the shocking stories coming up on your favorite soaps.
