Neil's sick threats leave Bethany determined to tell the truth and expose him
BETHANY Platt will expose rapist policeman Neil after he threatens her in Coronation Street.
With the police not having enough evidence to prosecute groomer and sexual monster Nathan Curtis, Bethany - who is played by actress Lucy Fallon in the ITV soap - will struggle to cope with the verdict, causing her unwitting mother Sarah to call Neil and ask for his advice.
A terrified Bethany is forced to mask her fear as Sarah brings her rapist home and leaves them alone to have a quiet word.
Once they are alone Neil terrorises Bethany and threatens her, telling her to lie about her ordeal.
He demands she pretend that she made the entire thing up and tell her mother and the police that she enjoyed being pimped out to be raped by Nathan and his vile sex gang.
A disgusted Bethany finds the strength the send him packing, and when Neil leaves, he's spotted by Craig Tinker who then sees an emotional Bethany looking upset in the window.
Going to see Bethany and checking she's OK, Craig's instincts tell him something is wrong and he begins to dig into Neil.
Having done some digging, Craig confronts Neil wanting to know why there’s no record of his home visits to Bethany in an effort to discover the truth.
And angry Neil, afraid of being exposed, orders Craig to mind his own Bethany, but it only furthers Craig's questions.
Going back to visit Bethany again, he asks the right questions and Bethany breaks down and begins to open up.
Telling Craig about her ordeal, she reveals how Neil raped her as part of Nathan's sex gang.
Determined to see justice done, Craig resolves to report Neil for his crimes but a still terrified Bethany begs him not to, revealing how Neil threatened to hurt her family if she ever spoke about it.
Breaking down totally, Craig tries to comfort Bethany as he decides what to do and Bethany makes him promise not to report Neil.
Having decided what to do, Craig goes to the police station and quits his job but runs into Neil and shoots daggers at him.
Covering his shock at Craig, Neil tells Craig a pack of lies leaving Craig even more confused than before.
- Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights on ITV
