Yahoo News Corrie plans dramatic trial to end Bethany's story?
Warning: The following article contains discussion of grooming and sexual violence that some readers may find upsetting.
Coronation Street's powerful child grooming plot will end with dramatic trial scenes, if the rumours are to be believed.
The Mirror reports that Nathan Curtis will be put on trial for his sex ring crimes, and Bethany Platt will eventually be convinced to give evidence against him via video link.
As we've seen with his friend Neil in the police force, Nathan has plenty of friends in high places. Will be able to wiggle his way out of this one or will he finally get his comeuppance?
Of course, this is all unconfirmed for now, so we'll have to keep watching to see what happens.
Recent episodes have seen Bethany escape from Nathan as he tried to take her to another country to sell her abroad, but Neil is still around and trying to keep her quiet.
Corrie producer Kate Oates recently confirmed that Bethany would be taking some power back when she finally sees Nathan's true colours.
She said: "What is nice about where this storyline goes is that when the scales do fall from Bethany's eyes, and she does realise it's not right, she takes some power back.
"We see Bethany being active in saving herself rather than just being told. It's a story for feminists – I really wanted her to take some of that power back."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.
