Bethany Platt in new sex ring plot storyline

We've already revealed that new character Nathan will be joining Coronation Street on Boxing Day.  You can read more about Nathan here.

And now, Mr Curry Sauce tells the Sun on Sunday that Nathan is going to get Bethany involved in a sex grooming storyline. 

The source tells the tabloid:  "This storyline was not undertaken lightly, it was the subject of major discussions among the show’s writers and bosses. But in the end they agreed that, while controversial, it was very important.

"We know Bethany’s popular with girl viewers and hope to make them aware of the risks of this situation. The really sinister element is that, while viewers will be aware Bethany’s boyfriend is bad news, she’ll have no idea. Hopefully that will resonate.”

Corrie fans may remember that Bethany's mum Sarah was herself a victim of a sex pervert too. Back in 2001 Sarah met her internet boyfriend for their first offline date, but Gary wasn't the 19-year-old boy he claimed to be. Gary was an internet stalker, who groomed his young victims on the net.
