In the upcoming episodes of Coronation Street, Betsy Swain, DS Lisa Swain’s daughter, takes a dramatic step to provoke jealousy in Mason Radcliffe. Recently, Betsy has developed a crush on Mason, who was recently released from prison after a series of criminal acts, including attacking the vulnerable Liam Connor. Despite her mother being a detective, Betsy seems to have little interest in following a law-abiding path herself.
Next week, viewers will see Betsy turning her attention to Dylan Wilson in an attempt to make Mason envious. Dylan witnesses Mason entering the café with a knife tucked in his bag, and Mason reveals his plan to save up money to rent a place nearby. Betsy then convinces Mason to skip his shift at Speed Daal and come over to her place while her mother is at work.
Frustrated by Mason’s lack of commitment and reliability, Betsy eventually breaks up with him. Later, when Mason sees Betsy chatting with Dylan, he expresses his displeasure and tells them they deserve each other. Determined to make Mason feel jealous, Betsy kisses Dylan in public, which only leads to further complications.
The situation takes a dark turn when Betsy’s attempt to provoke Mason backfires. She admits to Dylan that her public display of affection was meant to make Mason jealous. However, Mason makes it clear that he is not interested, leaving Betsy humiliated. In a desperate move, Betsy steals a customer’s purse and slips it into Mason’s jacket.
When the customer notices her missing purse, she confronts Yasmeen and Stu, leading to a tense moment. As Mason puts on his jacket and realizes the stolen purse has been planted in it, he is horrified. Now, Mason faces the risk of being falsely accused and wonders if Yasmeen and Stu will believe him if he exposes Betsy’s role in the scheme.
Stay tuned for more twists and turns in Coronation Street as Mason’s situation grows increasingly dire due to Betsy’s shocking betrayal. Will Mason be able to clear his name, or will he be driven to madness by Betsy’s actions?
