Coronation Street fans have made a heartbreaking prediction about Bethany Platt's pregnancy as they continue to prepare for her mum, Sarah Platt, to find out the truth about who her unborn child's father really is.
Viewers of the ITV soap, which is filmed in Salford, know that Bethany had a controversial one-night stand with Kit Green, her mum's ex. Their tryst came after Sarah called things off with the detective in a bid to spare him from being caught up in her mess and stop him risking his career as she faced prison time for the murder of Theo Silverton.
In the aftermath of the split, Kit was seen drinking more and pushing away those who care about him. But what they didn't know at the time was that, as well as losing Sarah, he had also been shaken by an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis in another hard-hitting health storyline for the long-running show.
Bethany's secret pregnancy
It led to his one-night stand with Bethany, and she later discovered she is pregnant. While she was keeping the news a secret, Sarah was seen this week finding out the news following her release from prison, having been found not guilty of Theo's murder following a trial.
Sarah has since been seen trying to support Bethany, who has admitted to being in two minds about whether to continue with the pregnancy, sharing her doubts about becoming a mother. But Bethany is also hiding the father's identity, and she doesn't deny the assumption that the baby is Ryan Connor's, after they recently reignited a fling.
Sarah and Kit rekindle romance
But a fresh spanner was put in the works during Tuesday's (November 12) episode of Corrie, as Sarah and Kit were seen reigniting their own romance, after Sarah was seen rushing to his aid when she found the struggling detective collapse outside the tram station.
Bethany later returned home to the flat to find her mum and Kit kissing on the sofa. She was delighted to confirm they were back on, and Kit stuck the knife in when he admitted they should have never split up in the first place. Bethany was seen making herself scarce, however, Corrie fans are keen for the truth to be exposed.
