Sarah Platt decided to take drastic measures for the sake of her children in the latest episode of Coronation Street. The legendary soap character, played by Tina O'Brien since 1999, is currently serving time in prison after being charged with the murder of Theo Silverton.
In the latest episode of the world's longest-running TV soap, Sarah was horrified to find photographs of her son Harry had been vandalised. Fellow inmate Kacey, who has previously tried to use Sarah's former romance with DC Kit Green to her own benefit, denied responsibility and turned to the news that some pool balls had been stolen from the recreation room.
Photos of Harry appear on social media
Kacey then pulled out her phone and found that photos of Harry and another boy had popped up on social media, causing immediate panic. Sarah punched a number into her phone and instructed Harry via voice message to go to Adam Barlow's house.
Kacey said: "I don't want anyone to get hurt. I just need one small favour from your ex. For Harry's sake, and Bethany's too."
Meanwhile, Adam had innocently dropped Harry off at a new friend's house, and his partner Alya seemed to think nothing of it. Sarah phoned Adam, who explained: "I told you, her name's Lottie. Her son joined Harry's holiday club last week." Sarah demanded Adam collect Harry immediately, but Lottie was already dropping him off as Alya demanded to know what was going on.
Sarah arms herself in prison
Lottie confirmed she had removed the pictures from social media, and claimed to only vaguely know Kacey but said she had no idea she was behind bars. Adam did not believe her and accused her of posting the photos just so Kacey would see.
When Adam voiced his concerns to Kit in the pub, he brushed it off. Back in prison, Sarah was seen loading the stolen pool balls into a sock, ready for action.
Fans react to the dramatic scenes
Reacting on X, one fan wrote: "Sarah stole the pool balls to make a weapon for self defense. And they do need to watch Harry now more. And I bet Sarah will end up attacking Kacey in tomorrow’s episode." Another said: "Poor Sarah Lou [crying emoji]," and a third said: "Good thing Alya and Adam, were jumping into Lottie’s a*** for posting photos of Harry. She can lie but we all know she knows Kacey, and it was to help her mess with Sarah."
A fourth wrote: "Kacey using Harry and Bethany’s names against Sarah, she knows is working cause it does scare Sarah. Makes her fear for their safety." Another fan joked: "Sarah has a landline in her cell? Perks of being a murderer."
