While Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) has been awaiting trial for the murder of Theo Silverton, life on Coronation Street has continued chugging along without her.

After dumping boyfriend Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), it was unlikely Sarah expected him to remain single forever, but that doesn’t make it any easier for Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) to break the news that he has moved on in upcoming scenes.

What makes it ten times harder is the fact that Bethany was one of the people he moved on with.

‘Ideally, Bethany wants her mum to forget about Kit and focus on herself and her release from prison,’ actress Lucy Fallon explained.

‘If Sarah gets out and reconciles with Kit, it will make Bethany’s secret even more complicated.’

Next week, Bethany arrives home to find that Kit has brought another woman to the flat, though when Kit tells her he’s not in the right headspace to kiss, the woman storms out.

The next day, Bethany braces herself to visit Sarah.

‘Bethany tells Sarah that Kit is dating other women and bringing them home in the hope that Sarah will move on. This way, Bethany hopes she won’t ever have to admit that she slept with him.’

And it isn’t just Kit who has moved on without Sarah around. Next week, Bethany’s conversation with Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) is interrupted by Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell), who feels like celebrating after being offered Sarah’s job at the factory.

Sarah hasn’t exactly had an easy time of it behind bars, and Lucy reveals that Bethany is suspicious of how nonchalant her mum is being.

‘She doesn’t believe Sarah is coping well at all. If anything, Bethany thinks Sarah appears too chilled about everything given that everyone on the outside is going crazy.

‘Bethany is worried that Sarah is handling things a bit too calmly, which is concerning. Especially after seeing Sarah with bruises on her face, she knows this is far from an ideal situation.’

With Sarah soon set to face trial, will she be stuck behind bars for even longer, or will she be able to get her life back sooner rather than later?

Given that Lucy has described the trial as ‘dramatic, sneaky and also devastating,’ we’re not getting out hopes up…
