With Todd and Theo so tense that they “kick” each other out of the Grimshaw house, Bethany – a character who has had a complicated turn in Coronation Street – is placed in an extremely difficult role: the intermediary between two opposing forces.

Lucy Fallon – who plays Bethany – in recent statements, affirmed that she has no intention of leaving the show but wants to explore the depth of the character.

So, will Bethany be the bridge between Todd and Theo, or will she be drawn into a power struggle with no way out?

In the imaginary scenario, Bethany encounters Theo right after he is kicked out by Todd.

He looks at her resentfully:

“Beth, you can’t stay there and be silent anymore. Who will stand up for you?”

Bethany is put in a dangerous position: if she stands with Theo, she will anger Todd; If she stays neutral or sides with Todd, she could lose Theo’s heart—and possibly her reputation.

One dark night, Bethany approaches Theo in a dimly lit room. She says softly,

“I understand you’re hurt. I want to help—but I have to know what you want.”

Theo—tired and tense—stares at Bethany, hesitant. He might say,

“I want to tell the truth. I want everyone to know what I did.”

But Bethany knows: if that truth comes out, Todd will strike back. He might reveal secrets from Theo’s past, pressuring Bethany to keep quiet—or even sidelining her.

An imaginary aside: Bethany might have a letter in her possession, containing Todd’s admission of a shady business deal—which she hasn’t made public yet—but could use to pressure them to reconcile. The scene where she puts the letter on the table halfway to face Todd, then turns to Theo, her eyes determined — that will be the most dramatic scene of the family love story.

The game between Bethany, Todd and Theo will not be easy. Bethany is caught in the middle of two storms, having to choose: sacrifice personal feelings to keep the peace, or risk everything to go on the side of justice — even if it may cost her everything.
