Coronation Street's Bethany Platt has fallen into another sinister trap by getting engaged to her abuser Nathan Curtis.
Wednesday night's episode saw more scheming and manipulation from Nathan pay off as he convinced Bethany (Lucy Fallon) that he wants them to tie the knot.
A traumatic few days for Bethany has seen her coerced into having sex with Nathan's sleazy friend Neil, which left her questioning her relationship and the situation she was in.
Skilled as ever with his scheming, Nathan responded by freezing Bethany out, branding her childish and making her think that she was the one at fault.
After finally deciding it was time to lure Bethany back in, Nathan gave her a sob story about his past and asked her to marry him.
Unaware that Nathan has absolutely no intention of actually heading down the aisle, Bethany accepted the proposal and excitedly changed her social media status to "engaged" – much to the shock and disgust of her mum Sarah when she saw the latest update on her phone.

When Corrie returns on Friday, Sarah tries her best to hide her true feelings on the situation by paying a visit to Bethany at the salon and promising to always support her.
Bethany is overjoyed to be back on good terms with her mum, but she's struck by fresh terror when Neil unexpectedly arrives at the salon with Ian, one of his friends.
As Neil suggests Nathan should throw another party and invite Ian this time, Bethany struggles to hide her horror as she worries about what will be expected of her this time. Will she agree to the party? And could she end up being offered out to Ian next?
