Earlier this year, Bethany waved goodbye to the cobbles again when she headed to London for a new job, with Sarah Platt and Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) waving her off.
The trainee magazine editor shared how guilty she felt for fleeing to the capital after her family’s house was burnt down in terrifying scenes.
Sarah told her: ‘You’re giving us good news.’
Bethany replied: ‘Last time I went to London… I cr@shed and bu:rned.’
She added: ‘I’m going to miss you guys.’
Sarah told her: ‘I’m so proud of you, everything you’ve been through.’
It had been a pretty tough year for Bethany.
The aspiring writer travelled to Turkey to get a c0smetic pr0cedure done, but unfortunately things went wrong and she was left with a st0ma b@g.
Not only that, Bethany and boyfriend Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) have hit a bit of a rough patch in their relationship.
Despite getting engaged over the Christmas period, Bethany decides that heading to London is what is best for her.
