Nathan does not get found out until September so this will go on for a fair bit yet

Is that right, Perdy? I know the story is going on till September but does that not include the aftermath and what happens to Bethany afterwards and her feelings etc. with trying to readjust after her experience?

I don't know if I can go on watching Bethany going to bed with numerous men until September.

Knowing soaplife, there won't be much of an aftermath .. Bethany will go back home and then start her career and will date someone more suitable but with a dark side to him within couple of weeks. I seem to remember Chris Harper saying he would be on screen until September ..

if mary tells sarah and gail her suspicions they could try and do something, i know bethany is 16 but go to the police

That means i will not be watching corrie until September. So far i have not watched 5 episodes. I find this storyline too disturbing

[LouiseP]

I don't think you will be alone . I shan't watch either.

[Perdita]

But you might find it interesting to see how Bethany will get out of it. I appreciate some find it uncomfortable to watch but there are phone numbers and websites given for those affected by the storylines, so viewers that are affected should make use of them. Phone, message and talk to them about it. That is what they are there for. Even if you have never been in that situation, I am sure talking about your feelings about this storyline could help you.

[LouiseP]

I just don't like it. I am not affected by it. I also can't believe that Bethany would get in so deep. She is a strong girl and would tell somebody or kick him in the crutch and run home. Mary would sort it out.

Sometimes there are storylines we can't face watching. They are different for everyone. I skipped a lot of Hope's cancer and the episodes when Ozzy was killed off.

Louise will be able to find out how Bethany gets out of it by reading some posts here if she wishes to.

I am glad the helplines are available but I would rather skip episodes and keep the helplines free for those who really need them. Callers may have been bottling things up for years before getting help via the show.

I know it needs to be highlighted. Her character is a bit unbelievable though. So not convincing for me. Would have been better to get a capable actress to do it then i may have watched. Also i do find it grim and creepy. I am already very aware of this subject so do not need educating on it.
The only thing i will miss on Corrie is Shona and David storyline the rest s not worth watching. Maybe if Phelan gets his comuppance. Tracy on thr run also stops me watching especially as she will get off again. This is the first time in 35 years i have ever stopped watching. So thank goodness for soapboards
