Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street‘s David Platt and Daniel Osbourne will both face suspicion next week, after returning villain Nathan Curtis is violently attacked.
Since Bethany Platt discovered that her former abuser Nathan, who groomed her and tried to traffic her in 2017, has been released from prison and is working as a builder in the Weatherfield area, she has been convinced that he has something to do with missing teenager Lauren Bolton’s disappearance.
In scenes that will air on Wednesday, May 15 and Friday, May 17, Bethany continues to investigate Nathan’s potential involvement and she quizzes her friend, police officer Craig Tinker, on Nathan’s alibi for Lauren’s disappearance.
When Craig lets slip that Nathan was with his girlfriend, who works at a nail bar in town, Bethany points out that Nathan was running a tanning salon at the time he was grooming her.
Sarah Barlow later confides in her ex, Gary Windass, that she’s worried about Bethany, as her daughter becomes increasingly fixated on trying to pin Lauren’s murder on Nathan.
Later, as Bethany heads out with Daniel, they’re shocked to be confronted by Nathan, who lays into Bethany for harassing his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, in the Rovers, David, Sarah and Gary talk about Nathan and agree that something needs to be done, before he ruins Bethany’s life all over again.
Over at the building site, Nathan is packing up when a mystery hooded figure approaches and strikes him over the head, knocking Nathan unconscious.
