Corrie boss confirms romance for our two favourite characters this Christmas

The news we've all been hoping for!

Coronation Street boss Kate Oates has confirmed romance is on its way for Bethany Platt and Craig Tinker!

Fans have been desperate for the cute pair to get it together for months since Craig supported Bethany through her horrible ordeal at the hands of a sexual exploitation gang.

Craig’s been in love with Bethany for aaaaages, and now Kate’s confirmed the pair will get it together soon.

“In news that should gladden the heart of even the most Scrooge-like curmudgeon, Bethany will embark on a tentative romance with Craig. Glad tidings indeed!” Kate told the Radio Times.

The good news comes after it was confirmed that Bethany will get a job at a strip club in a reaction to her harrowing treatment by Nathan Curtis.

“She takes back control of her own body and the way she views herself,” Lucy Fallon, who plays the troubled teenager explained.

“Bethany does get a job at the strip club and for Bethany it’s a thing to say that she has control over what those men can do to her, so they can’t touch her and they can’t do anything to her.

“Obviously a lot of people will be asking, ‘why is she doing that? That’s ridiculous,’ but it’s the way she’s recovering – whether that’s the right thing is another story.”

We’re hoping that a proper teen romance with lovely Craig is a better way for Bethany to put her grooming ordeal behind her.

Crethany (or should it be Braig?) forever!
