Sarah flew out to Turkey to be by her daughter Bethany's side. Bethany, who is Tina O'Brien's on-screen daughter in Coronation Street, had recently undergone liposuction and received life-changing news. The surgery had gone wrong and she was now faced with the news that she would need a stoma bag for the rest of her life.
The family was devastated by this news, not only because of the impact it would have on Bethany's health, but also because of the financial burden. It turns out that Bethany had not declared the surgery to her travel insurance and the family would have to cover the £25,000 medical bill for her care themselves.
Tina, who plays Sarah Platt on the popular ITV soap, opened up about her character's feelings towards the situation. Sarah is not embarrassed by what Bethany has done, but she is hurt and worried about the judgement her daughter will face once people find out what has happened. However, Sarah will not try to hide the truth, she just wonders why Bethany felt the need to undergo surgery in the first place. She is her daughter and Sarah sees her as perfect in every way, so she can't help but feel responsible for not making Bethany feel good enough about herself.
Not only is Sarah concerned about Bethany's well-being, but she also fears judgement from others. The Platts turn to the residents of Weatherfield for help, setting up a crowdfunding page with the help of Daniel Osbourne. However, Sarah knows that it can be difficult to ask for money, especially during tough economic times. She is also aware of the potential backlash, as some may see Bethany's situation as her own fault.
As the family struggles to raise the necessary funds, Bethany's condition worsens and she is left with a stoma. Sarah watches as the hospital bills continue to pile up and feels helpless. She knows that people are already struggling financially and it breaks her heart to ask for their help.
When her mother Gail Platt suggests selling the family home to cover the medical expenses, Sarah is taken aback and feels guilty. She is carrying the weight of the situation for Bethany, knowing how devastated she will be when she learns of the lengths her family has gone to for her. Despite feeling gutted and guilty, Sarah also feels relieved and supported by her family, especially her mother Gail.
Coronation Street, which airs on ITV1 and ITVX, has been following Bethany's storyline on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8pm. If you have any soap or TV stories, videos, or pictures, feel free to share them with us via email. We would love to hear from you and engage with our community.
