CORONATION Street’s Sarah Platt faces police questioning over a murder charge in upcoming scenes. Last month, Sarah took drastic action in a bid to protect her daughter Bethany, after Nathan Curtis - the man who had groomed her as a teen - returned to Weatherfield . She paid him £10k to leave town, but when he didn't, he was attacked and Sarah went on to form a new plan.
Sarah headed back to the building site with a plastic bag containing Lauren’s hair bobble, found in her things that she left at the Platts. However, new police officer Kit caught Sarah in the act, forcing her to admit she was planning to plant the hair bobble in Nathan’s van to prove he murdered Lauren. Kit urged her to let the police do their job but later, news spread through the street that Nathan had been arrested after Kit found 'evidence' in his van.
Nathan is currently behind bars awaiting trial for the crime - which viewers know he didn't actually commit. In a sick twist, it is actually Nathan's own lawyer - Joel Deering - who is behind Lauren's disappearance, but none of the Coronation Street residents have learned this yet. But in upcoming scenes, Kit warns Sarah that DS Swain has been doing some digging and she’s caught onto the fact that Nathan received some hush money to drop the case.
DS Swain drags her in for questioning and asks her directly if she knew who attacked Nathan and if she bought his silence with £10k. Will Sarah tell DS Swain the truth? Meanwhile, daughter Bethany has got.
