After a long time away from the old town of Weatherfield, Bethany Platt returns with a bright smile, bright blonde hair and hope for a new start.

She is accepted to work at a luxury salon – a place that promises to give her the opportunity to prove herself after years of uncertainty.

But life is not like a dream. Bethany’s first day at work quickly turns into a disaster when a theft occurs.

A valuable necklace disappears during her shift, and all eyes turn to the newcomer.

Hope Dobbs, a famously difficult colleague, bluntly accuses: “You must be the one. I know the type of person you are.”

The whole salon falls into chaos. Bethany sobs and insists that she is innocent, but no one believes her. She tried to contact the shop owner, find the camera, find a way to prove herself – but, as fate would have it, the camera footage from the night before had a technical error, leaving no evidence to prove her innocence.

That night, Bethany returned to her small apartment, crying. She realized that returning to Weatherfield would not be easy. The past had been ridiculed, the old mistakes now haunted her every step like a ghost. However, with a determined look, Bethany said softly: “I will not give up.”

The audience watched this young girl with a mixture of pity and admiration. Her first day may have been a failure, but that fall could be the first step to her journey to adulthood – or the storm that would break her again.
