CORRIE SPOILERS 22nd - 26th AUGUST

[alan45]

A difficult week for Bethany will kick off after she realises that Craig Tinker has innocently posted a picture online, showing her sprawled on the grass after breaking the garden swing.

Craig's actions unwittingly prompt Bethany to take even more of her diet pills, but the effects start to take hold when she later heads out to do more exercise.

Gary Windass (Mikey North) is overseeing Craig's induction at the gym when Bethany suddenly collapses, having been pounding away on the running machine.

Coronations street is about a whole street full of characters and all of them have some sort of storylines throughout the week.

This is just the one storyline. As swmc66 said, there's plenty of characters in the programme. I'm sure they'll make an appearance at some point in the week.
