Because of a recent soap opera twist that has fans sure that one of the residents would be the next young person to become pregnant, Coronation Street may be planning to run another storyline around adolescent pregnancy.
A shocking new story about a teenage pregnancy may soon feature on Coronation Street.
The venerable ITV program is accustomed to taking on difficult and frequently veiled subjects. Think back to the 1990s. Fans were in shock when Tina O’Brien’s character, Sarah Platt, discovered she was pregnant at the young age of 12, becoming the youngest mother on the Street.
The youngster’s journey into early motherhood followed her romance with her pal Neil Fearns.
Discovering she was five months pregnant was a quintessential shocker for Sarahand it sent shockwaves across the nation. The plot twist became one of the most talked-about moments of the decade.
In a dramatic 1999 scene, Sarah experienced labour pains at her home before welcoming baby Bethany, whom actor Lucy Fallon now brings to life. But whispers from the cobbles suggest another teen might soon be grappling with the realities of unintended pregnancy, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Advance teasers indicate that Fiz Brown’s offspring, Hope Stape (portrayed by Isabella Flanagan), delivers a staggering revelation to her kin next week.
The week kicks off with a bewildered Fiz (Jenny McAlpine) reeling from Hope’s sudden break up with Sam, and her newfound curiosity about Jack Webster (Kyran Bowes).
Later, in a bid to get contraceptives, Hope makes a bee-line for Dr Gadass. In response, the doctor equips her with condoms and encourages a family dialogue.
Audience conjecture is skyrocketing, with many implying it won’t be long before Hope faces an unplanned pregnancy. Corrie enthusiasts have taken to social media en masse, particularly on a dedicated Facebook group where banter about forthcoming storylines flourishes.
