Social media was alight with the idea that Coronation Street’s Bethany Platt could be about to form Weatherfield’s first throuple.
Bethany and her boyfriend Daniel Osbourne joined his ex Daisy Midgeley and Ryan Connor for a very awkward dinner party this week, with Bethany finally accusing Daisy of stealing Carla’s money. Viewers reckon the tension between them could lead to a racy threesome, while AI tool Gemini branded polyamory “groundbreaking representation” on the cobbles.
It wouldn’t be the first time a racy threesome has been aired on a soap, however. Over in the US, daytime soap Days of Our Lives aired a kinky romp in 2022. The Peacock series saw Allie, Chanel and Alex all take part in a consensual threesome, with lesbian lovers Allie and Chanel inviting a third into their romance.

In the episode, Alex was seen flirting with Chanel and Allie, before he suggested romping as a trio. Allie admitted it was an “adventure” the couple could enjoy together, and a montage of sex scenes graced the airwaves – ending in pleasure for all three members.
The response from fans cemented the episode’s place in soap history, with one X user penning: “Today, I believe Days of Our Lives made history, as the first American soap opera to air a threesome. They really went there, too. So much for ‘nothing will change’ when the show moves to Peacock, like Deidre Hall and all the other stars suggested. Buckle up, guys…”
Another echoed: “I’m so behind on Days of Our Lives but I’m glad they are pushing the boundaries. The first threesome in daytime television. That’s pretty groundbreaking.”
Over in the UK, Hollyoaks has experimented with polyamory before. In 2019, Peri, Tom and Harley embarked on a poly relationship after Tom snogged Harley behind Peri’s back. Though Peri was stung by the betrayal and confronted Harley, things eventually ended up with Harley suggesting the three of them enter a three-way romance.
A similar storyline aired way back in 2009 with Nancy, Ravi and Kris. In racy scenes, the bisexual Ravi – who was pretending to be straight at the time – was still with girlfriend Nancy, who slipped between the sheets with Kris behind Ravi’s back. In a shocking turn of events, Ravi also ended up getting it on with Kris, unbeknownst to Nancy.

Though it caused chaos, the trio eventually agreed to carry on seeing each other consensually – but it ended in a twisted love triangle.
In Australia, it was down to Pierce, Chloe and Naomi to navigate whether they could go through with a threesome in Neighbours. Though Chloe and Pierce invited Naomi to be their third, the pair were reluctant to take things through to the bedroom and complete the ménage à trois.
