Coronation Street boss Stuart Blackburn has revealed that there will be big trouble for teenager Bethany Platt this summer as Callum Logan uses her crush on him to his advantage.
Viewers have already seen Bethany (Lucy Fallon) betray her uncle David Platt by telling Callum about David's tactics to win custody of Max.
Speaking in a video previewing the show's summer storylines, Blackburn said: "Sarah Lou is involved with Callum and her daughter Bethany also has a crush on him. Callum will use this crush and Bethany will become his insurance policy if things go wrong.
"Bethany thinks she is grown up, but she is just a 15-year old kid. She is naive and she is going to get in a world of trouble because of her involvement with Callum."
Blackburn also teased that there would be some big developments in Roy and Cathy's friendship once he discovers her secret next week.
He said: "Roy and Cathy have been muddling along at the allotment but that is a friendship that is going to really develop and blossom when Roy discovers Cathy's secret.
"She has been very troubled since the death of her husband, she has problems with her house and so she ends up moving in with Roy. But don't worry, it is just as friends."
It has also been confirmed that troubled times for Carla Connor will pave the way for the arrival of Shayne Ward's character Aidan.
Blackburn added: "Carla wrongly believes that she is responsible for the deaths of Kal and Maddie and that takes her into a really dark place - she is very troubled. She starts gambling and ends up spending not only her money, but the factory's as well.
"Carla's troubles pave the way for Shayne Ward's character Aidan Connor to arrive. He will come in and, we hope, rescue the factory, which really is on its last legs.
"The summer, as cracking as it is, is all a prologue to what will be a cracking live episode in September."
