As he reunites with his dad Ken, he tells him that the grief retreat was a great help. But is he telling the truth?

What happened with Daniel and Bethany?

Despite Daniel being married to Sinead, Bethany fell in love with him. Shortly before Sinead’s death, Daniel and Bethany shared a kiss.

When Sinead found out, she was devastated, but forgave her husband as she knew she had little time left.

She died from her cancer shortly afterwards. However in a video, Sinead told Daniel not to forget about her, but to still try to move on and meet someone new.

After embarking on a relationship with Bethany just months after Sinead’s death, Beth Tinker was left furious.

But it soon became clear that Daniel was still grieving terribly for Sinead.

After getting drunk, he got down on one knee with Sinead’s ring and proposed to Bethany. But he ended up calling her Sinead, making her realise he’s not ready to be with someone else yet.

Although they planned to move to London so she could start her internship, Bethany opted to go alone.

As she left, Daniel’s family booked him in for a grief retreat in Scotland. He decided to go, hoping it would help.

But has it helped as much as he’s letting on? Or is there something else afoot?

Coronation Street’s scheduling pattern has changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The soap now airs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm.
