It seems this story is leading to Bethany falsely accusing Callum of rape. I think this would be a fairly interesting storyline and would make Callum more interesting. Possibly leading to Bethany admitting she's lying in the live episode.

I was thinking Callum is going to willingly sleep with her and she gets pregnant. Sarah finds out and kills Callum.

I think it's possible.

And with every passing episode my suspicion that Bethany kills Callum in the live episode and the Platts cover it up increases.

It's Carry On Corrie so something as serious as rape wouldn't fit

I think something will probably happen for real, although I doubt it will be rape. Maybe Bethany will somehow blackmail or manipulate him into sleeping with her in order to set him up?

I think it would be interesting if the audience didn't know if it actually happened or not. The scene would cutaway, then Bethany would accuse Callum.

I think the best way to destroy Callum would be to fit him up for kiddy fiddling with Bethany. People like that are worse than scum inside and it would be an utter joy to see Callum sent down for pedophilea. Although this would involve a child lying which is never good, although this is soap so it's ok. Haha.

No matter how vile a person is, sending them to prison under the pretence that they are a peado when they aren't, is disgusting.

Rape isn't outside what you'd likely see on Coronation Street. A main character killing someone and getting away with it is though. (Yes, I know about Tracy but that was retroactive when the producer was after cheap publicity.) I don't think they'd necessarily send Callum to jail for something he hadn't done, although I guess there is an irony in regards of everything he has done and got away with. I'm not sure Bethany would go there after this week?

I was a bit shocked by that suggestion too.

I wouldn't put anything past Bethany though - what a horrid girl she is

I wouldn't put it past Bethany. It would be a despicable thing to do. Falsely accusing someone makes it very difficult for people who are telling the truth. Also no one deserves to be falsely accused of rape let alone raping an underage girl. I know it's only fiction but the idea this would be a fitting punishment because he sells drugs shocks me. I don't think anyone should be falsely accused, ever.

I really don't wish to sound crass, but has it ever been established whether Bethany is already sexually active? She acts in quite an overtly sexual manner sometimes and Sarah's comments about her recently seemed to suggest that she isn't exactly a virgin.

Given her almost aggressive pursuit of Callum, would he also be of that impression and assume her fair game.....only to be then arrested for statutory rape?

I did wonder to start with if Bethany wasn't a virgin (she's legal in Italy, after all...) but the way she's been portrayed recently and the way her family treat her have left me thinking she is. She acts like a naïve girl for whom this is all new and exciting, not like someone experienced.

If they end up having sex, regardless of what ensues, there is no need for her to "call rape": from the legal point of view, consensual or not, sex with a minor is 'rape'.

"Calling rape" without having sex would, on the pther hand, be a different kettle of fish but also difficult to prove (since it didn't actually happen).

Having said that, it would be more likely if she turned her attention to her 'knight in shining armour', Jason.

I think there are no depths of lying and manipulation that Bethany would not sink to if it brings her sympathy and attention. She is more like the spawn of Tracy Barlow than dopey Sarah Platt's.

I think we will be led to believe that Callum will die at David's hands in the Live and in the end Bethany will kill him. Maybe he attacks one of them and she has a jerk reaction and he ends up dead. Cue the Platts covering it up.

I would like Bethany to go to the police with the mobile phone that she steals and tell them how she was coerced into carrying drugs. The mobile phone has all the numbers of his druggie clients on it.

Why is everyone assuming that Calum is going to sleep with Bethany? He's already put her in her place.

She went straight to Jason to use him to get back at Calum because he upset her, she don't care about her mother or family.

The person to give him his payback will be

Shocked? Do you want me to pass you the smelling salts? Get a grip, you obviously didn't read my post properly before you went into "shock".

Yeah I've just watched last nights eps and it certainly does seem that way. I thought there was going to be an ongoing story where Callum capitalised on Bethany's crush and used it to gain info about the Platts etc, but would be forced to take things to the bedroom to keep her inrerested.

I don't think it's entirely impossible at present for Callum to sweet-talk Bethany and bed her. He might do it just to punish the Platts. I hope they're not going to go down the route of her fancying Jason, it didn't come across that way to me, he was her father figure when she was a pre-teen so that would be too awkward.
