Phil (2016 character)

Phil was the father of school bully, Lauren who terrorized Bethany Platt for several months with her gang. In September 2016 Lauren was suspended after several other Weatherfield High students spoke out.

After months of bullying Bethany informed headteacher, Mr. Griffin, about Lauren and her actions. A meeting was staged between the two students. The meeting soon ended in disaster with Lauren's Mum and Sarah Platt yelling at each other with resulted in both girls being suspended. Because of Bethany's bravery more people reported her for bulling and Lauren was ultimately suspended. In a attempted to seek justice Phil confronted Mr. Griffin. Phil implied that he hoped Bethany would receive the same punishment as his daughter and tried to establish that Lauren was still the victim, referencing when Nick Tilsley and David Platt threatened her, but Mr Griffin stayed firm and threatened to call the police if they did not leave the premises.
