Things are getting even darker for the distressed teenager
Coronation Street fans have spent the last few weeks watching 16-year-old Bethany Platt slowly be manipulated by sick, groomer Nathan Curtis, 32.
But on Friday night the horrifying scenes came to a head when Bethany was forced to go on a ‘date’ with Nathan’s mate, Neil Clifton which ended in her being raped by her boyfriend’s sick pal.
However, after the confused teenager – played by Lucy Fallon – tried to explain to Nathan that she’d ‘cheated’ on him, Bethany was left in turmoil when her boyfriend thanked her for sleeping with Neil.

Unfortunately, it looks like this isn’t the last of Bethany’s pain as Chris Harper – who plays Nathan – recently confirmed that it’s ‘just the beginning’ for Bethany once Nathan brings her into his friend’s world.
Appearing on This Morning, the actor hinted that the teenager will be raped by multiple men after winning her trust and says Bethany is ‘entering a very dark place’ in future episodes.
