CORRIE is going to shock fans with a shocking storyline that puts teen Bethany Platt in the loop.
Bethany, a 16-year-old female student

One told The Sun on Sunday: "The storyline is not rash, it is the main topic of discussion between the playwright and the boss," but in the end they agreed, although controversial, but this is important.
"We know that Bethany is popular among the girls audience and want to make them aware of the risks of this situation.
"The real evil factor is that while the audience will realize that Bethany's boyfriend is bad news, she doesn't know.
Hope this resonates.
The source added: "The storyline is scheduled to start early next year.
"The program is working closely with the relevant child protection charities to ensure that the programs we broadcast are as real as possible.
"Bethany's experience will echo those of the victims of the rocchdale sex ring, whose perpetrators abused nearly 50 teenagers.
In 2012, nine persons were sentenced to 127 imprisonment for sexual offences against 13-year-old girls.
A spokeswoman for Corey said: "We don't comment on the storyline.
