Coronation Street’s Bethany devastated as she is fitted with permanent stoma

As an ardent viewer of Coronation Street who has witnessed the trials and tribulations of its characters for over three decades, I must say that tonight’s episode truly tugged at my heartstrings. The storyline involving Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) and her ordeal with cosmetic surgery complications is a stark reminder of the potential dangers lurking behind the glamour of such procedures.


In tonight’s heart-wrenching episode of Coronation Street on the 25th of September, 2024, Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) was deeply affected when she found out that due to complications from cosmetic surgery, she now has a permanent colostomy bag.

The young journalist decided to undergo liposuction in Turkey, and Bethany’s boyfriend Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) flew out to be by her side, hearing that she had sepsis and a perforated bowel.

In Weatherfield, David Platt, Bethany’s uncle (played by Jack P Sheperd), accused Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) of influencing Bethany to undergo the cosmetic surgery, as she is friends with the head of the cosmetics company.

Adam Barlow (played by Sam Robertson) intervened, having a chat with David about the possible legal strategies concerning the situation at hand. However, matters turned complex due to involving foreign laws and regulations.

In the meantime, Sarah Platt (played by Tina O’Brien), Bethany’s mother, successfully resolved her almost expired passport and urgently went to the Turkish hospital in search of explanations.

Daniel informed Sarah that Bethany’s insurance wasn’t going to pay for any charges, meaning Bethany wouldn’t be able to depart from the hospital until all the debts were settled. The daily charge was an additional £2k, adding to the costs already incurred.

Sarah vigorously challenged Daniel over his avoidance of urgent phone calls from Turkey, instead choosing to spend time with his former partner, Charlotte Jordan (Daisy Midgeley).

Initially, Daniel struggled to clarify his thoughts, whereas Sarah was quickly summoned by Bethany’s physician. Upon her return, Daniel was adamant about justifying himself – until Sarah gently reminded him that tending to Bethany ought to be his main concern.

Without informing Daniel about the recent developments, Sarah instructed him to return to the United Kingdom immediately, neglecting to bid farewell to Bethany before his departure.

Eventually, Bethany came around from unconsciousness, but seemed remarkably unconcerned about her circumstances. However, this indifference faded when Sarah informed her that she now had a stoma.

Bethany realized this was a substitute for using the bathroom, thinking it was only temporary. However, when Sarah clarified that Bethany’s stoma was actually permanent, Bethany let out a surprised gasp.

On Coronation Street, they’re partnering with Colostomy UK to authentically and compassionately depict Bethany’s journey, aiming to demonstrate that individuals with colostomies can live everyday, fulfilling lives.
