Coronation Street star Sydney Martin has given fans a hint of what to expect from Betsy Swain's upcoming storyline, after spoilers confirmed the teen will be rushed to hospital next week. The actress, who plays Betsy, shared a cryptic social media post alongside a supportive message from her co-star Cait Fitton, who portrays Lauren Bolton.
Betsy's Collapse and Hospital Dash
Next week's episodes of the ITV soap will see Betsy fighting for her life after collapsing in the kitchen at No. 6. The incident occurs after a cooking lesson with her boyfriend Dylan Wilson, where she attempts to make Bolognese. An ambulance is called, and Betsy is taken to hospital, where a nurse explains to her mother Lisa that she will undergo an MRI scan. Dylan arrives but runs out of the room, telling Lisa and Carla that Betsy seems to be having a fit. The doctor tends to Betsy as Lisa and Carla watch in horror.
Blame Points to Dylan
As the week unfolds, an upset Betsy begs Lisa not to blame Dylan for what happened. However, when Sean Tully suggests visiting Betsy together, Dylan shuts down the conversation, making Sean suspicious. Later, in the cafe, a furious Lisa turns on Dylan, blaming him for Betsy's collapse. She then goes to the police station and asks to report a crime.
