It's pretty safe to say Coronation Street's Bethany Platt has had a pretty tough time. She's been a victim of bullying from absolute terror Lauren, while also dealing with her mum's mental illness and the murder of her aunt Kylie.
But now things might finally be looking up for the troubled teen after actress Lucy Fallon has revealed a more positive storyline is in sight for her character.
The last we saw from Bethany's heartbreaking storyline, she had reported being bullied by Lauren, only to get suspended when the school decided they were both to blame.
She also developed an obsession with diet pills and exercise after Lauren continued to make fun of her appearance, resulting in a worrying collapse while on a running machine at the gym and prompting the concerns of Gary Windass (Mikey North).
However, it looks like it's going to be a happy ending for Bethany after Lucy Fallon revealed a brighter future for her character.
Speaking to the Daily Express, Lucy revealed that Bethany will finally be vindicated as Lauren gets exposed as a bully and is permanently expelled.

"The head teacher says that she's been very brave in coming forward and that because of her a lot of other girls came forward to say it happened to them, too," Lucy explained.
"She goes home and tells her mum and gran and then she just bursts into tears because she's so relieved that it's all over."
Well, thank God for that. Maybe the Corrie writers can leave her character alone for a bit? The girl needs a break.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.
