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.

Coronation Street's Bethany Platt spends the night with Daniel Osbourne when she returns to Weatherfield later this month.

Lucy Fallon has reprised the role of Bethany, who makes her big comeback in the ITV soap's New Year's Eve episode.

Bethany's reappearance comes after Daniel's relationship with Daisy Midgeley has finally broken down.

Daniel recently discovered that Daisy cheated on him by sleeping with Ryan Connor. He has decided to forget about what happened, but upcoming episodes see Daisy confess everything as she's unaware that he already knows.

The confession, coupled with Daisy admitting that she loves Ryan, ultimately leads to her relationship being destroyed.

Over the Christmas period, Daniel tells Daisy that he'd like to chat and this leaves her hopeful that they could try again.

However, on New Year's Eve, Daniel's attention shifts as he's delighted when he sees that Bethany has made a return visit to Weatherfield.

Jenny urges Daisy to go and find Daniel and make amends with a New Year's kiss, but with Bethany now back in town, Daisy could be facing a nasty surprise.

The next day, Daisy tells Jenny that she was humiliated when she sought out Daniel, who seems to have already turned his attention back to his ex.

Bethany visits Sarah's flat and announces her return, having missed her family the night before.

News of Bethany's return then spreads to Gail, who suggests a family lunch to celebrate.

Daisy notices Bethany and points her out to Jenny. Jenny then reveals that Daniel slept with Bethany the night before, leaving Gail, Sarah and David all stunned. But how will Bethany react to their judgemental behaviour?

Coronation Street airs Bethany's return on Sunday, December 31 at 8pm on ITV1.

Lucy Fallon has teased a huge new storyline for Bethany Platt.

Talking to Inside Soap magazine about new reality series Drama Queens, Fallon revealed her character Bethany will be at the centre of a big Coronation Street storyline.

"Bethany's involved in the storyline surrounding Lauren's disappearance, but there's another huge plot coming up for her that we haven't started filming. I'm really excited," she hinted.

An upcoming story will soon see her become increasingly insecure about her appearance and decide to jet off abroad for surgery.

A source told Metro.co.uk: ?This is a huge story for Bethany, and viewers will see her travel to a foreign clinic for cosmetic surgery. As with a lot of these unregulated procedures, it doesn?t exactly go to plan.?

Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon has confirmed her future on the soap after announcing she's pregnant with her second child.

The actor, who plays fan favourite Bethany Platt, shared that she's expecting her second child with partner Ryan Ledson earlier this week, and that they're "halfway there" to the baby's arrival.

In response to fans questioning what this means for Bethany and how long she'll have to leave the cobbles for, Lucy later wrote on her Instagram Story: "Lots of Corrie related q's - I won't be away for toooo long and I am returning after I pop the baby out."

To announce her second pregnancy, the soap star shared a sweet video to Instagram that shows her 18-month-old son Sonny Jude hugging the baby scan, while another clip sees Lucy cradling her growing bump.

Fans and fellow Corrie stars were quick to share their congratulations in the post's comments section, including Tanisha Gorey (Asha Alahan), Ellie Leach (Faye Windass) and Helen Flanagan (Rosie Webster).

Lucy and Ryan previously welcomed Sonny in January 2023, announcing his birth on social media at the time with a sweet photo of the couple cradling their newborn and the caption: "Our beautiful boy."

Elsewhere, Lucy recently revealed that Bethany will take centre stage in a big new storyline later this year.

"Bethany has actually got quite a big storyline coming up within the next few weeks, few months," she told Digital Spy.

"It's going to be quite dramatic, quite emotional, which she should be used to right now! It's a good one for me to get my teeth into but it's going to be quite an emotional one for Bethany, playing into her insecurities. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out."

Coronation Street is set to air a shocking new storyline for Bethany Platt, who will be left fighting for her life after getting sepsis.

It was confirmed last month that Bethany will soon become increasingly insecure about her appearance and make the decision to get cosmetic surgery abroad, which doesn't go to plan.

We now know that the dodgy surgery will lead to a life-threatening infection that will leave Bethany fighting for her life in hospital.

While it hasn't yet been confirmed when the storyline will kick off, Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany, recently revealed that her character would take centre stage in a "dramatic" storyline later this year.

"Bethany has actually got quite a big storyline coming up within the next few weeks, few months," she told Digital Spy last month.

"It's going to be quite dramatic, quite emotional, which she should be used to right now!

"It's a good one for me to get my teeth into but it's going to be quite an emotional one for Bethany, playing into her insecurities. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out."

Fallon also recently confirmed her future on the ITV soap after announcing that she's expecting her second child with partner Ryan Ledson.

In response to fans questioning what this means for Bethany and how long she'll have to leave the cobbles for, Fallon wrote on her Instagram Stories: "Lots of Corrie related q's - I won't be away for toooo long and I am returning after I pop the baby out."

The couple already have a son called Sonny Jude, who was born in January 2023.


I hope this storyline raises the awareness of what can happen with cosmetic surgeries that most of the time are not needed, people have them because they have low esteem.

Coronation Street has confirmed the full details of Bethany Platt?s upcoming storyline, which will see the character face the reality of the dangers of cosmetic surgery.

It was announced last month that Bethany would soon become insecure about her appearance and subsequently travel to Turkey for cosmetic surgery, with the procedure having serious consequences.

The storyline will begin with Bethany being offered a new job by Debbie, with the role requiring an advertisement to be written about a company offering cosmetic surgery.

After accepting the role, Bethany decides to see the company with her own eyes as she opts for a liposuction procedure at the clinic, but it turns to disaster as she is admitted to hospital after contracting sepsis.

Her boyfriend Daniel immediately rushes to the airport after receiving a call from the hospital, with Bethany finding out that she will have to live with a permanent stoma following the botched surgery.

To make matters worse, Bethany neglected to mention the procedure when filling out her travel insurance, leaving the family scrambling as they try to raise funds in order to have her discharged from hospital.

?When I first heard about it I was pleased that they have trusted me with it because it?s an important storyline and of course I really enjoy doing issue-based storylines,? said Lucy Fallon, who debuted as Bethany in 2015, of the storyline.

?Obviously this is really hard-hitting, which is exciting from an actor?s point of view, but it does come with quite a lot of pressure and responsibility to get it right because this happens to real life people.

?The storyline is also incredibly important as there?s countless horror stories out there of people talking about their experiences of cosmetic surgery abroad. I really hope this storyline can make people rethink going abroad for cosmetic surgery.?

The storyline has been developed in collaboration with Colostomy UK to ensure the utmost ?accuracy and sensitivity?, with Giovanni Cinque, marketing & campaigns manager at Colostomy UK, sharing a statement upon the announcement.


?We?re really excited that one of the UK?s most-loved TV shows is going to feature a major character living with a stoma,? he said. ?Even though public awareness has grown considerably over the last few years thanks to a number of celebrities revealing they have had surgery, the challenges that the 200,000 plus people living with a stoma in the UK face are less known.

?[This] means that we as a society and as individuals are not as aware as we should be of the choices that we can make to positively improve their quality of life. We really hope that Bethany?s journey will go a long way in helping to educate the audience, and thus help to create a more Stoma Aware UK. It?s also been a pleasure for us to work with the behind-the-scenes teams at Coronation Street on this story.?
