Yahoo News Corrie's Bethany storyline ending 'not written yet'
Warning: The following article contains discussion of grooming and sexual violence that some readers may find upsetting.
Coronation Street's grooming storyline took a dramatic turn last week as Bethany Platt escaped from the clutches of sinister Nathan Curtis after he tried to sell her abroad.
It's not over yet though, as Nathan still has friends in the police and we've yet to see if he'll finally get his comeuppance.
It was previously rumoured that Nathan would be put on trial and Bethany would testify via video link, but actor Chris Harper has now revealed that the ending hasn't actually been written yet.
"He's going to have to go down," he told the Press Association, "it's not been written yet but we're doing it with full responsibility and awareness.
"It's clearly made an impact. It's been wonderful how many people have come up and talked to me... People who've had abuse in their life or their families' lives.
"The role has opened my eyes to how much of it exists and how much great work there is to try to combat it."
Harper previously said that "Bethany will go on a very brave journey" and the viewers will witness that.
"No matter how tricky some of the filming has been, the crew have been incredible and we've always kept in mind that people have been through this themselves," he added.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.
