BETHANY Platt has taken a huge risk in Coronation Street that could derail her career forvever.

The magazine writer was left stunned when she realised that her first job assignment at a brand new publication

was to cover the canned documentary about murderous footballer Corey Brent.

Abi Franklin had been facing the thought of fresh hell when it was revealed weeks ago that the lad who brutally murdered her son, Seb, had landed his own documentary charting his return to professional football after being locked up for killing her son.

She was left furious and managed to start a campaign to get the programme axed, which proved to be succesful.

Not long after, she was left riddled with fear when multiple deep-fake AI sex tapes using her image began to circulate the internet.

During the latest episode of Coronation Street, Abi ‘figured out’ that Corey’s manipulative father, Stefan Brent, must be behind the explicit videos.

Abi drew this conclusion as a result of Stefan being the owner of the publishing group employing Bethany at the magazine.

Bethany had given Abi the heads up about the article due to be released which prompted her to do some more investigative work.

She soon insisted that it must be Stefan due to all of his links to everything Corey related and his fury at Abi when she managed to get the documentary pulled off air.

Abi took her concerns to DS Lisa Swain and was later horrified to learn that after one round of initial questioning, Swain had let Stefan go and ordered no further action in the case.

Furious at the decision, Abi was unable to concentrate and she later stormed Stefan’s office in a bid for answers.

Later in the episode, after a tense run-in at Bethany choosing to continue working for Stefan, she later confessed she would be willing to spy on him for Abi and find out information.

Although this notion was initially dismissed, Abi’s partner Kevin later visited Bethany to talk about what she had said.

He said to her: “What you said about being on the inside, I think you could help.”

As Kevin insisted he needed “access”, he said to her: “Have you got a pass?”

As Bethany reluctantly handed over her building access pass, she jeopardised her future career with the bold move.

Bethany asked Kevin what he would do with it, to which he replied: “That you don’t need to know and we have not had this conversation?”

Has Bethany just made a huge mistake or will Kevin find the evidence he needs to prove Stefan is behind the AI porn?
