The moment Corrie fans have been waiting for FINALLY happened

Awwwwwww.

Coronation Street fans have been eagerly awaiting the news that Bethany Platt and Craig Tinker would make things official and it finally happened tonight. Bethany has been the focus of a disturbing grooming storyline this year and the experience left her traumatised when it comes to dealing with members of the opposite sex. When Craig first said he had feelings for her, Bethany rejected his advances but she changed her mind after a chat with her granny Audrey. Audrey pointed out what a thoughtful lad Craig is and said he reminded her of her late husband Alf (REMEMBER HIM) and this got Bethany thinking.

YEAY! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hands up, who loves Craig and Bethany!? #Corrie pic.twitter.com/d2D6Hj2ydv — Coronation Street (@itvcorrie) December 15, 2017

The teenager later told Craig she would like to be his girlfriend and fans went crazy for the latest development, expressing their joy on Twitter.
