Neil Ferns was a fictional character in the TV soap Coronation Street. He was revealed as the father of Sarah-Louise Platt's daughter, Bethany. He was an 'absent father' and had nothing to do with Bethany. Although his family did send Bethany a card for her first birthday.
In 2003, it was revealed that Neil had died in a car crash. Martin and Gail broke the news to Sarah who was shocked at Neil's death but not overly emotional. At Martin's insistence Sarah took Bethany to Neil's funeral where she met his mother. Neil's mother, Brenda had become mentally unstable following Neil's death and became attached to Bethany and kidnapped her after she began visiting her regularly. Bethany later was safely returned to her mother, and Brenda was left sobbing in the back of an ambulance.
