I think its more that Sarah looks too young for her age

I think you're right. The age difference between the actors who play Sarah and Bethany is the same in real life as their characters'. Mothers and daughters who have very small age gaps can often pass as sisters.

Bethany looks younger without the bright red lipstick - I've noticed that they seem to be moving away from her wearing that all the time.

And the very heavy foundation in early
pics added years!

I don't know why they made her up so heavily since they want the actress to look younger than her years. Ironically though, I think she can get away with playing a 14 year girl old because most of those look 18+ when dressed up to the nines.

Coronation Street news: Bethany exposes David’s family lie
Bethany Platt proves she’s a traitor in next week’s Coronation Street when she starts feeding information about her own family back to Callum Logan. Callum is locked in a custody battle with David Platt and his wife Kylie, who are faking their romance in a bid to hold onto their son Max. But next week unbeknown to David and Kylie, Bethany starts spying on the couple and telling Callum everything she has heard. She hears a useful bit of information when Gail Rodwell questions her son and Kylie about how long they can keep up their charade. And as they discuss how they’re going to convince the court they’re a happy family, Bethany reports back to Sarah and Callum everything she has heard. How will Callum react to the couple’s apparent display of solidarity?
Meanwhile, David visits Michael in hospital to hand over a card from Gail, but is left annoyed when he see’s Kylie there. Leaving the hospital Kylie begs David to give her another chance, she’s been to the doctors and is determined to stay clean of drugs.
But is it too little too late for David, and will Callum ruin everything for them now that he knows they aren’t really back together?

Callum wants Kylie so this information is good for him. Bethany will soon realise that callum is ready to dump her and her mum soon due to info she herself stupidly disclosed

I think Callum gets Bethany into bed first though

I really hope your wrong. Her mother got pregnant by a boy from school. Callum is an adult.

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."

Some interesting (and dark storylines) coming up. I'm glad they're turning Callum into a proper villain instead of a comedy gangster (though I really, really hope he won't sleep with Bethany!) and the fire's obviously going to have a long-lasting effect on Carla. I'm also glad Roy and Cathy will just be friends.

Please don´t turn Carla into a Robert Maxwell ... would not like to see the lives of the Underworld workers being threatened with losing all possible assets/ benefits/pensions because of Carla ..

Hes going to get her to push drugs so dont think its going to be sexual in any way.

Yes, hopefully that storyline would be too dark for Corrie.
