Lucy Fallon will return to Coronation Street as Bethany Platt following a three-year absence.
Fallon played Bethany for five years before departing the ITV soap in 2020, with the character leaving Weatherfield for a job opportunity in London and calling time on her relationship with Daniel Osbourne.
The Sun is now reporting that Fallon will reprise her role, with filming beginning in the "coming months".
Her first scenes will reportedly air "after Christmas", with the star said to be impressed by the upcoming storylines that have been planned for Bethany. Digital Spy has reached out to ITV and Fallon's representatives seeking comment.
Bethany first appeared on the soap in 2000, originally being played by Mia Cookson; twins Amy and Emily Walton took over the role that year, playing the character until 2007.
During her time away from the soap, Fallon has appeared in the Audible audio drama Sour Hall alongside Doctor Who star Pearl Mackie.
Both would also appear in the period drama Tom Jones for ITVX and PBS, which premiered earlier this year.
She also welcomed a baby boy named Sonny Jude with her partner, Preston North End footballer Ryan Ledson, in January.
Fallon previously said she was keeping an open mind about a Corrie return, confirming she would "never say never" to a comeback.
"I didn't leave for any particular reason. I didn't leave because I didn't like it. I left because I wanted to go down different avenues," she said in 2021.
