CORONATION STREET

With Bethany in earshot, Nathan fakes a call to his bank and feigns financial problems. Mel lies to Bethany, telling her that the bank is threatening to close down the salon. Alone in the flat, Bethany is startled when a guy calls to collect Nathan’s camera equipment. When Nathan returns to find the equipment gone, he tears into Bethany.

As Bethany sobs, Nathan apologises for his rant and explains that the equipment belongs to Neil. Nathan says that Neil has a soft spot for Bethany, so maybe if she meets him for a drink, it will go some way to making amends. Desperate for Nathan’s approval, will Bethany agree?

As Bethany prepares for her date with Neil, Nathan assures her that she’ll have Neil eating out of her hand. At the same time, determined to win her daughter back, Sarah tells Gary that she’s booked a flat viewing on Victoria Street so Bethany can have her own room. Bethany is gutted as she watches them go, assuming they’re planning a new life without her.

Telling Mary she’ll be fine with Nathan, Bethany leaves. Dressed to the nines, she meets up with Neil in a bar.

Meanwhile, Rosie stakes out Leah’s house. When she emerges with her step-mum, Rosie’s stunned to realise it’s Gina, Sally’s sister!
