Sarah soon followed, furious at what her daughter had done.

During her five years on the show, Lucy’s character has been involved in some big storylines.

After being bullied at school, Bethany was groomed by older man Nathan Curtis, who led her to believe she was in a loving relationship, when he was really charging his friends to sleep with her.

After her abusers were jailed, Bethany was kidnapped by Kayla Clifton, the daughter of rapist Neil Clifton, who believed Bethany was a liar.

However Bethany’s friend Craig managed to prove to Kayla that her father Neil had been part of Bethany’s abuse.

Over the last several months, Bethany has started to fall for Daniel Osbourne, despite him being married to Sinead.

Daniel was left heartbroken after he learned Sinead’s cancer was terminal and ended up kissing Bethany in a grief-stricken state as Sinead lay dying.

After Sinead passed away, he kept his distance from Bethany, but recently they have been helping each other through tough times.
