Corrie teenager 'to consider abortion'

Coronation Street teen Katy Armstrong will consider having an abortion as her pregnancy storyline continues, a report has claimed.

According to the Daily Star, the schoolgirl will start to be swayed by her strict father Owen (Ian Puleston-Davies) in the coming weeks when he advises her that she is too young to be a parent.

Katy (Georgia May Foote) is expected to have second thoughts about motherhood when boyfriend Chesney Brown disappears in an upcoming plot, causing her to fear that he has abandoned her.

However, in a twist, the real reason for Chesney's disappearance is that he is being held hostage in a cellar by his crazed brother-in-law John Stape.

With Chesney not around, Owen reportedly tells Katy that his absence proves they are out of their depth. Finally listening to her father, Katy agrees to visit an abortion clinic.

However, on the day of Katy's appointment, Chesney's sister Fiz apparently discovers his whereabouts and John's involvement in the shock cellar incident. She then informs Chesney of what his girlfriend is planning.

Insiders say that Chesney will then face a race against time as he tries to see Katy before she goes through with her plan to terminate the pregnancy.

A Weatherfield source told the newspaper: "John has caused the death and destruction of so many lives. Could Katy's unborn baby be yet another victim? Or maybe Chesney will get to her in time."

Katy told Chesney that she is pregnant in last Friday's double bill of the soap.
