A MASSIVE, LIFE-CHANGING SECRET IS ABOUT TO SHATTER A WEATHERFIELD FAMILY FOREVER!

After the year she’s had on Coronation Street, Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) is due some good news. Trouble is, her mum DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) might not see it that way…

Poor Betsy has been through enough drama to make the most seasoned resident of the Cobbles balk, and she’s not even twenty yet.

First she suffered the tragic death of her mother Betsy Swain, and then caught entangled with She blackmailed future step-mum, Carla Connor (Alison King) and later found herself deeply entangled with creepy acid-throwing stalker Joel Deering (Calum Lill).

After her boyfriend Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan) was stabbed to death by his brother, she caught a stray bullet from her own mum during a terrifying stand-off with escaped killer Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis).

Then came the reunion with her supposedly dead mum Becky Swain (Amy Cudden). Unfortunately, Becky turned out to be a certified bunny boiler on an absolute bonkers mission to give Carla Connor-Swain(Alison King) the old cuckoo in the nest treatment so she could be with Lisa, culminating in poor Besty being trapped in a deadly car chase before the raving loon was finally brought to justice.

Even then, the drama wasn’t over for Betsy. On the night of Lisa and Carla’s wedding, Betsy was horrified to discover the body of abuser Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), murdered by a mystery attacker.

It’s been a harrowing ordeal for Betsy, so much so that Lisa and Carla agreed to postpone their honeymoon just so they could properly look after their daughter.

Now for the first time in a while, Betsy’s future looks bright as she’s loved up with Sean Tully’s (Antony Cotton) tearaway son Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) for a sweet coming of age story in which her mum Lisa will be ‘massively involved’.

Upcoming scenes of Coronation Street will see Betsy becoming a bit of a tearaway herself, as she, Dylan and Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey)  get refused service by Sean in the Rovers. so head to the precinct with some cans instead.

However, just when you think Betsy’s future is all getting a bit Shameless, she gets some news that may change her life forever.

Betsy confides in Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) that she’s been offered a place at the London College of Fashion. But she’s worried about leaving Dylan. How will he react to the news?

Surprisingly, Dylan tells Betsy he’s really proud and will visit regularly. But while Dylan takes it well, Lisa might be another story as Betsy admits she’s yet to break the news to her Mum.

Summoning up the courage, Betsy breaks the news to Lisa and Carla that she’s been offered a place at the London College of Fashion. Carla’s delighted.

But after everything Betsy has been through, will Lisa have the courage to let her go?
