Fans Express Discontent
CORONATION Street viewers have expressed their disappointment ahead of an upcoming storyline involving Bethany Platt's cosmetic surgery gone wrong. The character, played by Lucy Fallon, will face serious health complications after undergoing a botched procedure in Turkey.
Plot Twist
Despite not having shown any insecurities about her appearance, Bethany decides to undergo liposuction during a work trip to Turkey. However, things take a dark turn as she experiences severe complications post-surgery.
Fans' Reactions
Viewers have taken to social media to question the choice of Bethany for this storyline, suggesting that another character may have been a more fitting choice. Many feel that the plot should have been given to a more appearance-focused character like Daisy Midgeley.
A Life-Threatening Situation
In the upcoming episodes, Bethany's health deteriorates rapidly, leading to a critical condition and a permanent stoma. The soap aims to shed light on the rising trend of corrective treatments following botched cosmetic surgeries abroad.
Increasing Concerns
A recent study by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons revealed a significant increase in UK patients requiring medical attention after undergoing cosmetic procedures overseas. Turkey, in particular, accounts for a large portion of these cases, with complications ranging from wound healing issues to life-threatening infections.
Raising Awareness
Coronation Street's decision to feature a character living with a stoma reflects the reality for over 200,000 individuals in the UK. This storyline aims to bring attention to the challenges faced by those who have undergone traumatic medical experiences.
