Coronation Street's Bethany Platt will be supported by Mary in the aftermath of her grooming ordeal
Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon has revealed that Mary Taylor will help her character Bethany Platt come to terms with her devastating grooming ordeal.
Bethany believes she is in a normal relationship with the much-older Nathan, unaware that he has been planning to pimp Bethany out to his friends ever since they first met.
After months of manipulative behaviour, Nathan's evil plan finally came to fruition last month as Bethany was coerced into having sex with his sleazy friend Neil.
Bethany did start to question Nathan's intentions in the aftermath of her night with Neil – but as ever, he had another plan up his sleeve when he popped the question to the teenager to put her mind at ease.
With the story certainly far from over, Bethany's ordeal certainly looks set to get worse before it gets better, but Lucy has revealed that her character will find Mary a pillar of support in the aftermath.
Recent scenes have seen Bethany find solace in a kind-hearted Mary – but hasn't yet confided in her over what's really been going on at Nathan's.
"Mary and Bethany are going to form a nice friendship," Lucy said to OK! Online. "Mary has been raped before so she's going to come in handy with Bethany when coming to terms with what happened further down the line."
She is stabbing the wrong people, she should aim for Nathan and his friends, how many will she sleep with, I thought it would be one and she would wise up and escapeQuote:

Even a private detective would be a good investment .
Audrey mentioned she needs her parents permission to wed, Sarah should go to the police although they are portrayed as very incompetentQuote:

Here are the dramatic Coronation Street pictures we've all been waiting months to see – evil groomer Nathan Curtis being arrested.
Cast and crew have been working out on location today (May 10) for huge scenes which see Nathan nicked for his treatment of Bethany Platt.
Christopher Harper and Lucy Fallon, who play Nathan and Bethany, have been spotted filming a tense showdown for their characters which ends in a violent scuffle at a burger bar.
Although Nathan is used to getting away with his bad behaviour, it seems that he's pushing his luck too far this time, as he gets hauled away by police for his violent actions.
Nathan is clearly on the back foot for once as two police officers drag him away from the scene, but will this really be the end of his abuse?
As ever, on-location pictures can only tell some of the story and it's not totally clear yet whether the police know the full extent of Nathan's criminal activity by this point.
Nathan's sleazy friend Neil, who's part of the sex ring, is also a member of the police force – so fans may wonder whether he'll pull some strings to make sure he gets off lightly.
For now we can only speculate about whether this is the moment that Nathan really does get his comeuppance, or whether he'll wriggle his way out of trouble like he's done so many times before. We'll find out for sure when the scenes air in a couple of months' time.
Nathan and Bethany's dark storyline has been running since the beginning of the year but has intensified in recent weeks, as Bethany was coerced into having sex with Neil during a flat party.
Upcoming episodes will see Nathan make plans for a second "client" to sleep with Bethany, only to be thwarted when her mum Sarah gets suspicious and takes her back to the cobbles.
Lucy recently confirmed that Bethany and Nathan's story will run until the autumn – with the ending already decided by Corrie bosses.

Lets hope the autumn conclusion deadline includes Nathan's trial, and of all the others involved. I guess May 10th filming would indicate perhaps a first or second week in July TV screening. Fingers crossed that we get to see all the trial ,sentencing ,the full works , and maybe a bonus of 'em all getting a good hiding off prison inmates, and not get short changed, following the arrests. Put Nathan in a cell with Jim MacDonald.
Glen, I can't see the last bit of your statement happening but it would be a great joy to me and many more, I am sureQuote:

Coronation Street has another dark twist in store for Bethany Platt as her chance to escape Nathan Curtis's evil clutches could be thwarted.
Earlier this week, we revealed how cast and crew had been spotted filming on location for dramatic scenes which saw Nathan arrested following a public fight with Bethany.
All Corrie fans will have hoped this would be the moment that Nathan finally got his comeuppance, but these brand new pictures now cast doubt on that.
The Coronation Street team have been back on location today for scenes which see Bethany taken to the police station following her ordeal.

The troubled teenager is supported by her friend Craig Tinker, who's training with the police, but there's an upsetting twist in store which could mean justice isn't served after all.
Just as Bethany is being helped by Craig, policeman Neil Clifton suddenly sends him away and forces her into the police station.
Fans know that Neil is part of Nathan's sex ring himself and recently forced Bethany into sleeping with him during a flat party.
Could Neil's involvement mean that Nathan gets off the hook yet again? Will Bethany be scared off from pressing charges against Neil?
Or will Bethany still have the strength to speak out when her mum Sarah arrives at the station and comforts her?

These pictures could tie in with a recent tabloid leak, which suggested that Neil would indeed scare off Bethany from telling the truth about Nathan.
Although unconfirmed by Corrie, newspaper reports suggested that Bethany will be terrified when Neil tries to silence her by saying: "You're not even safe in a police station."
Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany, recently confirmed that her character's upsetting storyline won't end until the autumn – but the conclusion has already been decided by show bosses.
"Things get loads worse, they really do. In the next few weeks you will start to see things get worse and worse. You will see this goes on for a bit," Lucy told PA.
"I think we know it's going on through the summer until the autumn and we know the end."

It's a good issue to be highlighted and coronation Street are doing a really good job with it. BUT - I honestly can't be watching until autumn with Bethany in the claws of those slimy horrible 'men'! It's far too upsetting to be watching that long.
