Coronation Street spoiler: Drunk danger for Bethany Platt after being picked up by Nathan
CORONATION STREET'S dark plot line involving Bethany Platt and creepy Nathan is heating up.
Corrie's Nathan discovers Bethany after drug overdose
The ITV soap will take a sinister turn during an upcoming night out after stumbling schoolgirl Bethany (played by Lucy Fallon) is picked up by Nathan (Christopher Harper) and driven off in his car.
On being turned away from a nightclub for being too drunk, she runs into Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia), who is on a girls night out with Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) and Kate Connor (Faye Brookes).
New spoiler photographs reveal the next stage of the upcoming plot line in which Nathan is suspected of grooming the teenager.

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.
It was recently revealed that Corrie bosses are planning for Bethany’s life to get worse as she becomes trapped in a sex ring.
A show source recently told the The Sun on Sunday: “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.
