Corrie’s David and Daniel are suspected of the Nathan attack

Spoilers for Coronation Street follow.

Coronation Street’s David Platt and Daniel Osbourne are both suspected next week after returning villain Nathan Curtis was violently attacked.

Ever since Bethany Platt discovered that her former abuser, Nathan, who sexually harassed and attempted to cheat on her in 2017, was released from prison and working as a contractor in the Weatherfield area, she has been convinced that he has something to do with it missing teenager Lauren Bolton’s disappearance.

In scenes airing on Wednesday May 15 and Friday May 17, Bethany continues to investigate Nathan’s possible involvement and questions her boyfriend, police officer Craig Tinker, about Nathan’s alibi for Lauren’s disappearance.

Sarah Barlow later confesses to her ex Gary Windass that she is worried about Bethany as her daughter becomes increasingly fixated on framing Nathan for Lauren’s murder.

Later, when Bethany leaves with Daniel, they are shocked to be confronted by Nathan, who accuses Bethany of harassing his girlfriend.

David assures Bethany and Sarah that he did not attack Nathan, but they are shocked when Shona shows up and brandishes the tracking app on David’s phone, proving he was at the construction site when Nathan fell unconscious.

David admits to witnessing the attack but claims he is not responsible for it. This leaves Bethany convinced that Daniel is to blame, but will she be vindicated?

“He is funny, deceitful, slippery, manipulative and ruthless,” he said. “Now he is also under a lot of pressure. This new storyline is full of twists and turns.”
