Coronation Street blunder as Bethany Platt magically gets a car – despite never having passed her test

CORONATION Street fans were confused tonight when Bethany Platt magically acquired a car – despite never being seen to have a lesson or buy one before.

The nail technician – who is played by actress Lucy Fallon in the ITV soap – offered a worried Gary Windass use of her car to help track down her missing mum Sarah Platt.

But the exchange was lost on fans who had never seen the car before – nor seen Bethany pass her test.

One wrote: “Since when did Bethany have a car… I didn’t even know she could drive #corrie.”

A second said: “My first car was an old Punto worth 600 notes. Unlike Bethany’s fancy wheels. Where and how did that happen? She’s never had a car before? #Corrie”.

Another added: “Their cars just magically appear when the #Corrie residents need them”.

Meanwhile Bethany may resent giving Gary her car after he drove straight into a trap set by evil loan shark Rick Neelan – and fans think he’s become a murderer.

Gary rushed in to save Sarah but was surprised by finding a shallow grave.

Rick then appeared behind him with a shovel and attacked him, telling him: “Scrotes like you don’t deserve oxygen. This is it Windass, you’re done.”

Shouting about his intentions to murder Gary for grassing him up and trying to get him sent to prison for his many crimes, Gary struggled to breathe.

In the closing moments of the episode Gary was being strangled and he reached out to grab a stone – and fans are convinced he’s going to use it to kill Rick.

One wrote: “Bet Gary murders Rick and becomes the new Phelan #Corrie”

A second said: “Well we all know Gary isn’t going to die Bc then there would be no point in making him the new villain. So I’m guessing that he kills Rick! #Corrie”

Another added: “Gary’s so going to kill him! #coronationstreet#

After causing Rana Habeeb’s death in the factory collapse, this death would make Gary the cobbles’ newest serial killer after his nemesis Pat Phelan died at the hands of his mum last year.
