With Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) still missing from the cobbles and presumed dead, lots of Weatherfield locals have found themselves in the frame. However, there’s another twist in the tale as Nathan Curtis (Chris Harper) returns to Coronation Street. Nathan was the man who groomed Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) as part of a sex trafficking scheme in 2017.
Bethany managed to escape in heartbreaking scenes and her attackers were later jailed - but he’s since been released. Bethany is the one who first spots Nathan. As the police conduct a reconstruction of Lauren’s last known movements in the precinct, Bethany’s completely thrown to spot Nathan in the crowd watching on.
As she sees her abuser for the first time in years, Bethany starts to wonder whether Nathan had something to do with Lauren’s disappearance. Could he be returning to the scene of the crime? Bethan is horrified to see Nathan again because she thought he was still behind bars. However, she discovers he was released from prison some time ago and is working on a building site nearby.
Knowing his history with young girls, Bethany soon hits on the idea that Nathan could be behind Lauren’s suspected murder. As Bethany throws all her eggs into Nathan’s basket, she’s forced to confront her abuser once more as she determines to bring Lauren’s attacker to justice. Actor Chris Harper has returned to the show seven years after his exit, and reveals how it feels to be back.
