Chris Harper Confirms That His Coronation Street Character Has Not Reformed At All
Nathan Curtis is back in Weatherfield. But is there any betterment in his personality? Well, actor Chris Harper declares a big no! Coronation Street fans must remember that he is the same person who abused Bethany Platt back in 2016. This time, he is tangled up in Lauren Bolton’s case.
In the coming week, Bethany is shocked to see him tracking Lauren’s steps. The journalist is sure about his involvement in her friend’s disappearance. Despite Nathan’s claims of change, Bethany remains skeptical. Talking about his character, the Coronation Street actor says prison didn’t change him at all.
In fact, he thinks his alter-ego has gotten even more ‘clever’ and ‘manipulative.’ Nathan is a tough guy now and knows how to play against the law. The soap star confirms that the villain always seeks more opportunities to exploit. He adds, “Give him half an inch, and he’ll take a mile.”
What Does Nathan Have To Do With Lauren’s Disappearance?
According to Harper, the Coronation Street villain is like a master at finding and using people’s weaknesses for his own gain. He’s back in town, but things aren’t going as smoothly as he thought. Nathan tries to boss people around, but they’re not falling for it as easily this time.
Particularly, Bethany is standing firm, all thanks to her family and friends. She is a grown-up and much stronger woman now. However, the soap actor says his character might try to stick around in Coronation Street and make himself known. However, can Nathan have something to do with Lauren’s disappearance? Harper doesn’t rule it out!
He thinks signs are pointing to Nathan being involved somehow. Chris adds, “All the signs are there – the similarities in Lauren’s behavior before she disappeared, her vulnerability, all really ring bells with what Bethany went through.” He teases that Nathan could definitely be involved in one way or another.
