Coronation Street fans believe they know who will expose Bethany Platt's baby secret, and they do not think it will be the unborn child's father, Kit Green. The truth moved a step closer to being revealed during Wednesday's (November 11) episode of the ITV soap.
Bethany had a one-night stand with her mother Sarah Platt's ex, detective Kit Green, while she was behind bars. Their tryst happened after Sarah ended things with Kit to 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 cared about him, while also being shaken by an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis.
Sarah learns the truth
Weeks after their one-night stand, a stunned Bethany discovered she was pregnant. She kept the news a secret, but Sarah found out following her release from prison, having been found not guilty of Theo's murder after a trial. Sarah has since been 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.
Bethany is also hiding the father's identity, as she does not deny the assumption that the baby is Ryan Connor's. Bethany and Ryan were seen rekindling a previous spark before Bethany discovered she was pregnant. Ryan has since discovered she is having a baby and has been trying to support her.
Kit discovers the secret
During Wednesday's episode, Sarah was supposed to join Bethany for her first scan, but after Kit's collapse the previous day, she insisted on accompanying Kit to the hospital for a checkup, after they were seen rekindling their relationship. Ryan instead supported Bethany, and the pair headed to the hospital, where Bethany got a glimpse of her unborn child for the first time.
As Bethany left her appointment, she came across Sarah and Kit. While he was initially concerned, he struggled to hide his horror when Sarah revealed that she was about to become a grandmother as Bethany was expecting her first child. Once outside the hospital, Sarah headed off to get the car, and Kit asked whether the baby was his. Bethany confirmed he was but begged him to keep quiet.
Fans share their predictions
Corrie fans already think they know who will expose the secret. One fan, @sarahlawson84, said: "Oh God! Why do I still think it’ll be a returning Jodie who will be the one to out Kit and Bethany? She’s the only one who knows and God knows she loves a dramatic moment to become the centre of #Corrie."
Another fan, @DrSwarla2025, suggested: "This whole Bethany and Kit storyline and pregnancy will all come out on Christmas Day won’t it. #corrie." @ThomasR14336083 also echoed: "I'm totally invested in this story, this is a proper soapy story. Kit is right Bethany can't let Sarah think Ryan is the father indefinitely. Sarah has doomed herself by saying they're one happy family. Definitely see this secret exploding over Christmas, the drama it'll cause."
