Viewers of the ITV soap saw Sarah devastated to learn her daughter was in intensive care after heading to Turkey for work
Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien has addressed Sarah Platt’s feelings for Daniel Osbourne after fans slammed her outburst. Viewers of the ITV soap saw Sarah devastated to learn her daughter was in intensive care after heading to Turkey for work.
It was Debbie Webster who told Bethany about the opportunity, telling her that a friend of hers is the CEO of a cosmetic surgery company and she was looking for someone to write an advertorial on their new facility in Turkey.
She initially turned it down but it was her boyfriend Daniel convinced her to change her mind. Bethany later flew to Istanbul but unbeknownst to her family, she decided to get surgery herself after she was left feeling insecure after seeing Daniel with his ex-fiancee Daisy Midgeley.
So Daniel was devasted to receive a phone call revealing Bethany was in intensive care. Rushing out to Turkey, Daniel discovered Bethany had sepsis after her surgery went disastrously wrong.
In Wednesday’s (September 25) edition of the ITV soap, Sarah arrived to be by Bethany’s side after a passport issue and she was quickly left horrified to learn from Daniel that Bethany’s travel insurance policy wouldn’t be valid because she hadn’t disclosed she was getting surgery and that the hospital could keep her until her medical bills have been paid.
Sarah quickly turned against Daniel, blaming him for being busy with his ex Daisy while Bethany was trying to get ahold of him before her surgery. Daniel refused to betray Daisy’s confidence by revealing what they’d discussed, which only wound Sarah up further as she discovered the true extent of Bethany’s ill health.
“She is the most beautiful girl, but somehow she didn’t think she was good enough. She was insecure about her body, and that’s your fault,” Sarah fumed before she broke down in tears and ordered Daniel to go home back to Weatherfield, while also refusing him the chance to say goodbye.
Corrie fans rushed to social media to complain about Sarah pushing the blame on Daniel. Now, Tina has explained the relationship between her character and Daniel, played by Rob Mallard.
Asked if Sarah likes Bethany and Daniel together, the soap star said: “No, I don’t think she does like them together. I think Sarah holds her tongue a lot, even from day dot, because Daniel got with Bethany around the time that his partner Sinead died, and he was clearly not over her and left Bethany in a bad way. I think she’s always held her reservations about him.”
On blaming Daniel, Tina said of her character: “I think she’s just lashing out. She’s really angry about the fact that Sarah believes there’s potentially something going on between him and Daisy because she’s overheard a few things but can’t get to the bottom of it. She’s angry with Daniel, but I don’t think she would ever hold him responsible for Bethany choosing to get liposuction because at the end of the day, Bethany’s a grown woman, and she makes her own decisions.”
