Lisa reports Dylan in Coronation Street
In Weatherfield tonight, Betsy was left trying to come to terms with her devastating diagnosis after suffering two strokes.
Doctors explained that she now had aphasia and dysphagia. This meant she would struggle with speech, reading and writing. She’d also experience weakness down the right-hand side of her body.
However, they reassured her that, with physiotherapy and time, she should make a full recovery.
Unable to process everything her daughter was going through at such a young age, Lisa headed home. She hoped for a chance to rest. Instead, she found herself confronting Dylan in public, accusing him of assaulting Betsy during sex.
Sean had been completely unaware of what had happened. But, he quickly told Dylan that strangling Betsy had been dangerous. This wasn’t something that ‘everyone did,’ despite Dylan believing otherwise.
Back at the hospital, Lisa told Carla she intended to report Dylan to the police. She insisted that what happened to Betsy was not an act of love. Betsy overheard the conversation and begged her mum not to go through with it.
Lisa refused to back down though, heading straight to the police station to report the incident.
