She was kidnapped the day she was born by Alison , her Step grandfather tried to drown her, she has been electrocuted, her granny tried to kill her, the only father she ever knew left abruptly under awful circumstances, her baby brother died, she was never wanted in the first place and is only here cause Sarah was too far gone for an abortion

just imagining Sarah Lou at a parent teacher meeting - Bethany is a nice child but dreadfully insecure and worrier - any idea what has caused this???

What is in store for Bethany Britney Platt?

Sorry if this is an old topic, but she must be the most put upon 4 year old in history.All I had done at her age was learn to spell my name!

Bless the poor thing. There's gotta have been some damage gone on in that small little head of hers already.

I think she'll turn out to be a normal person...after all most people in soaps tunr out "normal" until a good story line comes along to turn them insane or something.

Intersting, making Audrey a great-great-grandmother...not that this is unusual in soapland...if Zoe in Eastender has her baby won't Mo be a great-great-grandmother for it?
Im know my last great-great-grandparent died about 60 years ago and some would be over 160 if they were alive today.

The worst thing for poor Bethan-eh though is she has the dreadful Sarah sPlatt as her mother. That's enough to make anyone want to throw themselves under a tram.

How can you say that. Sarah is a nice girl who has had a difficult life so far

I think Neil Fearns died around September 2003 or so and Sarah took Bethany to the funeral - that's how they got closer to Mad Granny Brenda in the first place

Yes that is correct, Sarah went to Neil's funeral and met Brenda there.

It wasn't Todd's fault that he hadn't had anything to do with Beth for ages. He didn't walk out on Sarah and Beth, he still wanted to stand by them and support them, it was Sarah who walked out on him and decided that he shouldn't see Beth anymore. He may not have been her real father but he was the only father Beth has ever known, the only real father figure she has had in her life.

Until reading this topic, I didn't realise how much Beth has gone through, she's gone through just as much as her mother, like mother like daughter lol! I think those Platts are cursed! If Scooter has any sense then he'll run for the hills now!

When you look at it all written down, she's certainly been through a fair bit for a 4 year old.

She'll be a psychotic serial killer when she grows up.... no wait that was Richard

I reckon she should become a lesbian when she grows up. If Sarah is still on the show, she may not like it, not because Sarah is homophobic, but because of the way things turned out with Todd...she'd be putting her own issues onto Bethany.

Welll come on, Todd did turn gay on her after all. He shouldn't have got her up the duff and engaged in the first place. He should have come clean immediately. And what do you expect Sarah to do? Just say politely, "Oh well that's your choice then isn't it. Are we still getting married?"

They could develop a storyline like "The Omen" where it turns out she is the devil's spawn, or maybe "The Exorcist" I'd like to see Sarah-Lou covered in green projectile vomit!

Being gay is NOT a choice I never said that Sarah's reaction wasn't perfectly normal in that situation anyway. She was hurt, upset and angry and so she was bound to react like that (although I personally think she could have been a lot more understanding of the situation, I guess cos I was understanding when a boyfriend of mine told me he was gay), I was just pointing out that Todd didn't walk out on Bethany, that was Sarah's choice, not his.

Anyway, I don't really want to turn this into another Todd debate so I'll quietly leave now

I never said being gay was a choice. I'm simply saying if he was gay, he shouldn't have got her up the duff and engaged. He simply shouldn't have got into a relationship with her - it may have been better if they were just friends.

I agree, he shouldn't have got her pregnant and got engaged to her, but he was in denial, he was desperately trying to convince himself that he wasn't gay. And he genuinely did love Sarah, just not in the way she wanted him to At least he came out in the end though before they were married, it would have been a million times worse if he'd gone ahead and married her.

hadn't really thought about bethany's future before, but good point. they'll have to bring in a new actress though, the current one is awful. but no offence to her, she can't be that old.

More than that, she was his wife! Yes, it is strange neither Ailison nor Jake (I think his name was) are never mind.

I think that everytime I see Alison in Born and Bred!

Bethany is played by twins, Emily and .... somebody ... so maybe one is worse than the other!
