Bethany dreams of dating Daniel
SHE INTERPRETS HIS MIXED SIGNALS AS A GREEN LIGHT...
Bethany pledges her future to Daniel this week – despite the grieving widower explaining that he’s not ready to get into a relationship.
Following the trauma of Bertie’s measles ordeal, Daniel has been leaning on Bethany more than ever. However, what she doesn’t realise is that because of his anxiety and confusion, Daniel mistook her for his dead wife Sinead when he asked her to stay the night. So as he wakes up and discovers Bethany asleep next to him on the sofa, and in Sinead’s dressing gown, the situation is very awkward…
“Daniel is in the early stages of grief, and he’s nowhere near ready to start thinking about another serious relationship,” explains our Weatherfield insider. “Bethany has done nothing wrong, she just doesn’t realise that he was confused. She is trying to be respectful, but she’s deeply in love with Daniel. The problem is that Bethany is daring to believe that he feels the same way too.”
Later in the day, Bethany returns home and tells mum Sarah that she and Daniel spent the night together. Sarah’s shocked and worried that her daughter may be getting in too deep. And when
Daniel pulls Bethany aside for a chat, he puts her straight.
“It’s really tough for Daniel, because Bethany’s a lovely girl and such a good friend and support to him,” says our spy. “If things were different, they may be a great couple, but the reality is that Daniel can’t be with anyone right now. Bethany understands what he’s saying, yet instead of being put off, she tells him that she’s willing to wait as long as it takes for him to be in a place where they could give things a go!”
Will Bethany see sense before Daniel inadvertently breaks her heart?
“It’s tough for Daniel – Bethany is a lovely girl”
