Bethany Platt hiding shock secret after Coronation Street comeback
DANIEL Osbourne rekindled his bond with Bethany Platt during recent trips to Weatherfield.
Unfortunately, it becomes clear that the beloved Coronation Street character is keeping a massive secret from everyone around her.
Bethany Platt (portrayed by Lucy Fallon) began the new year back in the ITV cobbles - and in bed with former flame Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard).
However, Bethany has kept most of the details of her life in London as a trainee magazine editor under wraps, although Daniel begins to ask questions next week.
Coming up, Daniel finds Bethany engrossed in writing an article in the café but when he enquires what it’s about, she stays evasive.
Later on, it becomes clear that Bethany isn't as professionally stable as she may have wanted or made herself out to be as she calls her publisher.
