Coronation Street fans 'bet money on it' as Nathan Curtis sibling twist 'uncovered'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Coronation Street fans have said they'll 'bet money' on Nathan Curtis having a fresh connection to the street as his return was confirmed.

Actor Chris Harper is set to reprise the role of the unsavoury character in the ITV soap who groomed Bethany Platt as part of a sex trafficking scheme.

Nathan preyed on the teen and was later jailed for his involvement in the sex trafficking ring. It's now been revealed that in the investigation into the disappearance of Lauren Bolton, Bethany's evil abuser will be seen lurking in Weatherfield again, more than six years after he was last seen in person and six since he appeared in a vision experienced by his victim.

It's Bethany, played by Lucy Fallon, who will be first to discover he's no longer behind bars as she spots him at the reconstruction of Lauren’s last known movements, as the case into the teen's disappearance and suspected murder continues, and her mind is thrown into overdrive.
