(Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n<p>However, Corrie fans reckon the writers have a different idea. They all know foreshadowing when they see it. Betsy\u2019s recently been positively giddy about a potential opportunity to pursue her dreams of studying fashion in London\u2026 which obviously means some terrible disaster will happen to prevent in. Die-hard viewers took to social media to share grim predictions for what that disaster could be..<\/p>\n<p>TheConnorSwains commented: \u2018And there it is\u2026 the foreshadowing. As soon as a character decides it\u2019s finally time to move on, you know something terrible is lurking around the corner, ready to alter their future forever.\u2019<\/p>\n<p> Another user, KatieJukesy seemed to agree, suggesting that the mention of Mason may mean that history is about to repeat itself in the worst way possible: \u2018What if Dylan gets stabbed by those lads?
