In 2017, Mary Taylor lent a helping hand to her neighbor Bethany Platt. Mary, a character on the beloved ITV soap Coronation Street, offered some heartfelt advice to Bethany. As longtime viewers may remember, Mary had her own painful experience with sexual abuse. At the age of fourteen, she was raped by her employer while working as a nanny for his two children. This trauma resurfaced when Bethany found herself in a similar situation with her manipulative boyfriend, Nathan Curtis.
Bethany was groomed and eventually pimped out by Nathan to his friends. After finally realizing the truth about him, she bravely reported Nathan to the police and he was locked up. However, he recently reappeared in Weatherfield, much to Bethany's shock. She and her boyfriend, Daniel, confronted Nathan at his workplace, hoping to get some answers. But Bethany's suspicions about Nathan's involvement in the disappearance of her friend, Lauren, only grew stronger when she found out he had been messaging other young blonde girls and subscribed to Lauren's "O-Vidz" account.
Feeling unsettled by the encounter with Nathan, Bethany's family came up with a plan to get him out of their lives for good. That same night, Nathan was attacked and left for dead. Bethany was convinced that Daniel was responsible for the attack, causing a rift between them. However, it was later revealed that Gary Windass was the one who had attacked Nathan, leaving Bethany feeling betrayed by her mother, Sarah, for not being honest with her.
In tonight's episode, still shaken by the events of the past week, Bethany ignored her mother's calls. As she walked by Preston's Petals, Mary noticed her unease and invited her in for a chat over coffee. Although Mary didn't directly mention her own abuse, she encouraged Bethany to move on with her life and not let Nathan continue to cause her pain.
The conversation seemed to have a positive impact on Bethany, as she later made amends with both Daniel and Sarah. However, in upcoming episodes, it's clear that Bethany is still convinced that Nathan had something to do with Lauren's disappearance and will continue to investigate, potentially putting herself in harm's way.
As the story unfolds, viewers are left wondering if Bethany will finally get justice for Lauren and if she's putting herself at risk by pursuing the truth.
