Coronation Street’s Lucy Fallon – Bethany wants to have sex with Gary!
When Gary confirms that he’s booked them a hotel for after the gig as a treat, Sarah’s thrilled whilst Bethany hides her jealousy, dreading the evening ahead.
Having discovered that Harry’s got a temperature, a disappointed Sarah tells Gary that he’ll have to take Bethany and Faye to the gig on his own.
After downing some vodka, Bethany lets herself into Gary’s hotel room and makes out she’s struggling to do up her zip. Oblivious to Bethany’s ulterior motives, Gary’s happy to help.
With Harry having recovered, Sarah leaves him with Gail and heads off to Leeds after Gary and Bethany, hopeful she’ll still be in time for the gig.
But when Faye lets herself into Gary’s hotel room she’s horrified to see Bethany draped seductively across his bed ready to have sex with him.
Under pressure, she is forced to admit she was planning to make a move on Gary leaving Faye appalled and Bethany desperate to silence her.
Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany, explained: “Bethany, Faye and Gary go to the hotel and because Gary has asked her to help look after Faye, Bethany reads that as he thinks she’s quite mature.
“So she gives herself a bit of confidence by drinking vodka and lets herself into his hotel room, trying to make him think she’s really mature. I think in her mind she’s thinking that something is going to happen on this night but she’s wrong.
“Faye sees Bethany lying on the bed in quite a sultry pose waiting for Gary so Bethany tries to distract her to stop her from saying anything.
“Now that’s another thing that Bethany has got to keep under wraps – stopping Faye from saying anything to the Platts and Gary.”
Watch these scenes play out from December 19.

Corrie's Bethany Platt is spotted kissing mysterious older man Nathan shortly after exchanging cross words in tense scenes
After developing a crush on her mother's drug dealer ex, she has earned herself a questionable reputation with her love life.
And it seems Bethany Platt's streak of bad luck may continue as she was spotted locking lips with the street's new boy Nathan, who seems to be a new love interest for the vulnerable teen in a new storyline.
Shooting on-location in Manchester on Wednesday, Lucy Fallon (Bethany)and her co-star Christopher Harper (Nathan) were seen filming tense scenes at a school which started out looking strained although they later locked lips.
Having first been introduced to Nathan as the ex of Shona, the girl who David Platt meets in a nightclub, viewers will see Bethany grow close with Nathan.
After finding her collapsed on the floor of an alley after taking to many diet pills, Bethany has formed a love-struck bond with the street's latest newcomer.
But it looks as though Nathan is nothing but trouble, as he has tracks Bethany down to the school gates for a tense confrontation.
Yet shortly before the tense conversation, the pair seem extremely cosy as they are seen locking lips during a coffee date outside school.
Shortly before the romantic scenes, Bethany seemed perturbed by his presence at her school, the teen - who has been bullied to the point of self-harm - appears to be put under pressure in a tense conversation.
The oldest child of former tearaway Sarah Platt can be seen trying to shrug-off what appears to be an advance from Nathan.
But as she begins to get emotional, it seems that he changes tact and tries to appeal. Clearly up to no good, it's not yet known what Nathan's relationship with Bethany is - though he has a shady past.
Nathan is first introduced to viewers as the ex of Shona, who soon reveals to Billy Mayhew that Nathan has left her homeless; though it looks as though Nathan is far from pleased with this.
And judging from his behaviour with Bethany it seems that Nathan has some sinister motives for befriending the teenager.
Over Christmas fans will see the wheels come of Bethany's life once more, as the revelation that she has a crush on Gary Windass leaves her humiliated to the point that she takes a heap of diet pills and collapses.
It is Nathan who finds the troubled teen, and when Bethany comes round she seeks him out to thank him for saving her life. At which point Nathan tells Bethany she can contact him any time that she needs him.

Coronation Street spoilers: Schoolgirl Bethany Platt ‘caught in a sex ring’ in shock new grooming storyline
Corrie is to stun fans with a shock storyline that sees teen Bethany Platt caught in a sex ring.
Schoolgirl Bethany, 16 — played by Lucy Fallon — will be groomed by her older boyfriend in the coming months.
But while fans will get an insight into his twisted psyche, Bethany will have no idea he aims to “pimp her out” to older friends.
The storyline draws inspiration from real-life horrors — and sources told how bosses debated the move before deciding to go ahead to raise awareness among young female fans.
One told 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.
“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.”
The source added: “The storyline is set to begin at the start of next year.
"And the show is working closely with relevant child protection charities to make sure what we air is as realistic as possible.”
Bethany’s experience will echo those of victims of the Rochdale sex ring, whose perpetrators preyed on almost 50 teens.
Nine got a total of 127 years’ jail in 2012 for sex crimes against girls as young as 13. A Corrie spokeswoman said: “We do not comment on storylines.”

I thought this was going to be the storyline. I wish they could give bethany a bit of a break. She has gone from one trauma to another.
This is when you realise how few young people are on corrie and why one keeps getting heavy storylines

I think it could be good if done very sensitively with not a hint of sensationalism creeping in. Unfortunately, the Corrie spokesman is correct that girls do need to be warned about this type of danger.

Coronation Street writers in bust-up on sex-grooming plot
Corrie's writers have had bust-ups over the soap’s sex grooming storyline.
In the soap, teen Bethany Platt is pursued by Nathan Curtis who is 20 years her senior.
Coronation Street writer Jan McVerry said the plot was “very dark” and sure to shock viewers.
And it has also triggered “heated disputes” between the soap’s army of writers.
Jan, 50, said yesterday: “I think it’s an important story to tell for young people, particularly those who may be lacking in self-confidence.
“There are worries these unscrupulous *******s get in your lives and lure you away. It is a very dark subject.
“My own children are teenagers but others with very young children have asked ‘should we be going into this darker territory?’.
“We have had many discussions on how to tell the story.”
Viewers have seen Curtis, played by Christopher Harper, slowly seduce 16-year-old Bethany, played by Lucy Fallon, after he recruited her to work in his beauty business.
Sources say Curtis will aim to prostitute her out to older pals just like real life grooming gangs in Rochdale and Rotherham.
Show boss Kieran Roberts said the nick would one of several new locations seen when the soap goes to six nights a week in the autumn.
He said they had decided to build a police station because “frankly we need one”.
