Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien has explained her character Sarah Barlow’s decision to turn against Daniel Osbourne this week.
Sarah has faced an emotional time following the revelation that Bethany is seriously ill in a Turkish hospital due to a liposuction procedure that went wrong.
Sarah and Daniel – Bethany’s boyfriend – both flew out to Turkey following the worrying news as they desperately searched for answers over what was happening.
Things soon turned sour when Sarah discovered that Daniel had initially ignored calls from a Turkish phone number because he was busy having a heart-to-heart with his ex-fiancée Daisy Midgeley.

Sarah pointed out that Bethany’s insecurities over Daniel and Daisy may have played a role in her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery, so she blamed Daniel and ordered him back home to Weatherfield.
Speaking about Sarah’s outburst, Tina admitted: “I think she’s just lashing out. She’s really angry and believes there’s potentially something going on between him and Daisy, because she’s overheard a few things but can’t get to the bottom of it.
“She’s angry with Daniel, but I don’t think she would ever hold him responsible for Bethany choosing to get liposuction because at the end of the day, Bethany’s a grown woman and she makes her own decisions.”
Asked whether Sarah likes Bethany and Daniel together, Tina replied: “No, I don’t think she does like them together.

“I think Sarah holds her tongue a lot, even from day dot, because Daniel got with Bethany around the time that his partner Sinead died, and he was clearly not over her and left Bethany in a bad way.
“I think she’s always held her reservations about him.”
Bethany’s story continues in Friday’s episode (September 27) as Sarah finds Bethany in a bad way in her hospital bed, barely able to breathe.
