Shocking home truths are about to threaten some of Weatherfield’s best-loved families, and a brand-new Coronation Street promo gives viewers their first look at the drama to come. At its heart are two explosive storylines: Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) hiding a pregnancy by her mum’s boyfriend Kit (Jacob Roberts), and Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) setting out to expose Tyrone’s dad Ross (Ian Burfield). As secrets are put to the test and guilty consciences are rattled, the big question hanging over the cobbles is simple: will the truth come out? Watch the promo below, then read on for the five things you need to know.
1. A First Look at the Drama Heading for the Cobbles
The new promo from ITV is a first-look teaser for the storylines set to shake Weatherfield in the weeks ahead, and its theme is clear from the start: home truths. Rather than focusing on a single family, the trailer cuts between two of the Street’s most famous clans, the Platts and the Dobbs, both of whom are sitting on secrets that could tear them apart. For fans, it is a chance to see the key players and the tension building before the drama unfolds on screen. With one secret born of a one-night stand and another hinting at something far more sinister, the promo sets up a run of episodes where guilty consciences will be tested to their limits.
2. Bethany Is Battling the Mother of All Secrets
Bethany, played by Lucy Fallon, is carrying a secret that could devastate her family: she has fallen pregnant by Kit, the boyfriend of her mum Sarah. The baby is the result of a single one-night stand between the pair, and Bethany knows that if the truth came out, it could destroy everything. Above all, she is desperate not to risk her relationship with her mum, which is why she has begged Kit to keep quiet about what happened between them. It leaves Bethany living on a knife edge, trying to hold the Platt household together while hiding the one thing that could blow it apart. Every family moment now carries the weight of what she isn’t saying.
3. Kit Is Struggling With the Burden
For Kit (Jacob Roberts), the secret is becoming harder to carry by the day. He is undergoing treatment for male breast cancer, and the promo shows an exhausted Kit struggling under the weight of everything he and Bethany are hiding. He is now questioning whether the right thing to do would be to reveal the consequences of their one-night stand, even though Bethany has pleaded with him to stay silent. That puts the two of them on a collision course, with Kit’s conscience pulling one way and Bethany’s fear pulling the other. Can Kit continue to live a lie, or is a ticking time bomb about to explode under the Platts? It is the question at the centre of the promo’s first storyline.
4. Fiz Is Determined to Unmask Ross
The second half of the promo turns to the family feud at the Dobbs, where Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) is determined to unmask Tyrone’s dad Ross (Ian Burfield) as the evil bully she believes him to be. Ross had previously been estranged from the family, but since arriving on the scene he has been on a mission to oust Tyrone’s mum Cassie, discredit Fiz and take control of the family. That has left Fiz increasingly isolated as she tries to make everyone see the man behind the mask. The promo shows a woman who refuses to back down, and who is prepared to keep digging until Ross’s true colours are revealed to Tyrone and the rest of the family.
5. Cassie’s Passport Raises Sinister Questions
Just when Ross thought he had got Cassie out of the picture, Fiz’s digging turns up something alarming: Cassie’s passport, lying in Ross’s car. The discovery prompts Fiz to start asking some difficult questions about Cassie’s disappearance, and about the story the Dobbs family have been told. Is Cassie really living the new life they were led to believe, or is there a much more sinister explanation? And does Ross know more than he’s letting on? It is a twist that raises the stakes considerably, turning a family power struggle into something much darker. With Fiz on the case and Ross under growing suspicion, the Dobbs storyline looks set to deliver some of the most gripping moments of the season.
