Coronation Street spoilers: Nathan Curtis’s evil plan lands Bethany Platt at a party full of strange men
The schoolgirl falls into Nathan's trap as she arrives at a party full of strange men
BETHANY Platt is to be drawn into a dangerous party by pervert Nathan Curtis in Coronation Street.
The schoolgirl - who is played by actress Lucy Fallon - will be invited to a party at Nathan and Mel's but quickly discover she's the only female guest and her pervert boyfriend's plans to pimp her out take a step closer.
Arriving at the party, Bethany is left feeling awkward as she's surrounded by strange men and leering Nathan continues to groom her.
But while Bethany is facing a horrible future, her mum Sarah is on the case and determined to save her daughter.
Remembering her own experience with an older pervert, Sarah decides to invite Nathan over for dinner to work him out and keep Bethany close.
Actress Tina O'Brien explained: "The initial thought is, ‘Gosh, he is so much older than Bethany’ but Sarah tries to bluff her way through it as she feels the second she starts to question Nathan in front of Bethany it is going to make Bethany lose it, want to leave and want to be with Nathan.
"Sarah feels that if she can let Bethany think that everything is alright then maybe Bethany will see for herself that this relationship is not a good thing.

"She thinks by doing it this way she is more likely to keep her daughter closer to her and Sarah doesn’t want to push Bethany away."
Speaking about her own internet pervert story, Tina added: "There are similarities in terms of the man Sarah went to meet was a lot older.
"When she went to meet him she thought he was 18/19 years old but he was more like a man in his 40s, a much older man.
"The difference, how Sarah explains it, is that Bethany was bullied, she was treated badly in the past and she has low self esteem so an older man showering her with attention probably flatters her ego."
- Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights on ITV
