The actress is currently in the middle of the Bethany grooming storyline, but we expect some dark times ahead when she realises what her teenage daughter is being subjected to.

So far, Sarah has tried to take a step back and let Bethany’s relationship with Nathan run its course, but next week, she decides to intervene at last.

She doesn’t have much success though as Bethany is set to be attacked by one of Nathan’s nasty friends.
