‘Disgusted’ Coronation Street fans lash out at show over ‘tasteless’ Daniel Osbourne and Bethany Platt storyline

CORONATION Street fans have expressed their 'disgust' over Daniel Osbourne and Bethany Platt's affair as Sinead Tinker lies on her deathbed.

The pair have been seeing each other in secret while Daniel's wife prepares to say a final farewell to the cobbles and its residents.

And to make matters worse, in last night's episode of the ITV soap, Sinead discovered what they had been getting up to behind her back and confronted her husband.

Viewers saw how Sinead – who’s played by Katie McGlynn – became suspicious over Daniel’s relationship with Bethany when she found the waitress' notebook in their flat.

Picking it up, Sinead read through the story Bethany had written, which seemed to declare her love for Daniel.

Initially, Daniel tried to lie by telling Sinead there was no truth in the story.

But eventually – in front of Beth, Kirk and Craig – Daniel came clean about his kiss with Bethany while reassuring Sinead that it meant nothing.

However, Sinead was distraught and a furious Craig threw Daniel out of the flat.

Those tuning in at home were horrified as the shocking scenes unfolded and were quick to take to Twitter to vent their disgust.

"@itvcorrie #Corrie Sorry but yee got it totally wrong with this Daniel and Bethany story. There is no way Daniel would do that to Sinead," one wrote.

Another added: "Don’t tell me Sinead is going to pass with Daniel not there..... Bethany sl was unnecessary.. #corrie."

Moments later, a third wrote: "Finding this storyline pretty tasteless to be honest. Not sure why #Corrie thought the Daniel / Bethany kiss would be a good idea whilst Sinead is dying. Seriously detracting from Sinead's final days."

After, another tweeted: "#corrie- you are hardly handling Sinead’s death respectfully by adding in Daniel’s little fling with Bethany. Anything for a bit more drama to bump up the ratings. This has disgusted me @itvcorrie."

On Monday night, a heartbroken Daniel kissed Bethany as she tried to comfort him.

And Bethany – who has admitted to having feelings for her friend – reciprocated the kiss before pulling away, realising it probably wasn’t a good idea.

Unfortunately, Daniel’s dad, Ken Barlow, walked into the ginnel just as the pair were locking lips.

And to say he was furious about what he saw is an understatement.

He angrily told his son to get home to his dying wife, before giving Bethany a look of utter contempt.

But by the sounds of things, viewers watching Corrie at home are even angrier than Ken.

With Sinead’s life reaching its tragic end tonight, will the couple make up before it’s too late?

Tune in to find out.
