How come she has a northern accent as if she has never left the uk. The way she keeps rolling her eyes is annoying. I thought she could pass as Sarahs daughter due to her looks not how old she looks like.

How come she has a northern accent as if she has never left the uk. The way she keeps rolling her eyes is annoying. I thought she could pass as Sarahs daughter due to her looks not how old she looks like.
Seeing her and her "mother" Sarah Louise on screen together, the casting is ridiculous, she looks the same age as her mother
I think the forst casting may have worked better
The one who lied about her age? If so, I hope you're kidding - she looks older than Sarah never mind the same age.Quote:

Coronation Street's Callum Logan doesn't look happy as he's forced to drag rebellious teen Bethany Platt, 14, out of his local pub
She's 14 years old, and she's already had a bigger impact than most Coronation Street newcomers.
But Sarah Platt's daughter Bethany might have gone one step too far this week as scenes from upcoming episodes reveal that she has to be dragged out of a pub by bad boy Callum Logan.
Dressed in her school uniform with satin bomber over the top, the teenager (played by 19-year-old Lucy Fallon) doesn't seem to have impressed her mum's male friend Callum (Sean Ward) with her antics.
In order to get to Sarah, Callum must first prove that he can handle her young and rebellious teenage daughter.
The impressionable youth has obviously taken a few examples from the locals and sought solace in the local pub when Callum discovers her propping up the bar with a young friend.
The giddy pair couldn't have looked more amused by the situation and giggled as they spilled onto the pavement in the new images, taken while the cast filmed in Manchester.
Bethany and her friend are both brightly dressed, with actress Lucy adding playful touches like silver shoes and long socks to emphasise her youthful looks.
Proving his responsible streak, bad boy Callum grabs her by the arm and pushes her into his car to be driven back to her Weatherfield home.
Callum and Bethany's mother Sarah (Tina O'Brien) have been getting closer in recent weeks and have been trying to hide their affair from Sarah brother David.
Bad boy drug dealer Callum is the real father of David's wife Kylie's son Max and they're currently locked in a furious custody battle over the child.
It appears that Callum is doing his best to manipulate Bethany nonetheless, and turn them both against David.
Corrie newbie Callum has also been pictured spending time with his ex Kylie Platt, while David is nowhere to be seen.
If any of the Platt family are due back in the canal anytime soon then Bethany will hopefully be at the front of the queue, with her mother close behind!
I don't mind Bethany so much now but really disliking Sarah Louise
Coronation Street tearaway Bethany Platt will continue getting up to no good by paying a visit to the dodgy Dog and Gun pub.
Lucy Fallon was pictured working on location in Manchester this week for scenes which see her feisty character hanging out at the pub in her school uniform.

Bethany visits The Dog and Gun pub
Bethany's fun will be interrupted when bad boy Callum Logan (Sean Ward) spots her at his local and expresses his disapproval over her behaviour.
The schoolgirl is having a whale of a time with Callum's friend Gemma Winters (Dolly-Rose Campbell), but Callum isn't amused and drags Bethany off into his car to drive her home.
Callum is currently in a relationship with Bethany's mum Sarah, so could he finally be proving that he does have a responsible side?

Callum drags Bethany off
The scenes appear to show Bethany slipping back into old habits, after her reintroduction episode in March saw her posing as a much older girl to get drinks at the Rovers Return.
Coronation Street will air Bethany's latest rebellious act in a few weeks' time.
Coronation Street's Bethany Platt looks set to be staying put in Weatherfield, after actress Lucy Fallon signed a new six-month contract.
The 19-year-old made her on-screen debut as the troublemaking teenager in March, with Tina O'Brien reprising her role as Bethany's mother Sarah.
Fallon's new contract will see her through the ITV soap's live episode in September, while the character is currently involved in David and Callum's custody battle storyline.
"We are very proud of Lucy," Fallon's agent Jessica Bell told the Blackpool Gazette. "She is certainly a character to be reckoned with on the street.
"I am really looking forward to her up and coming storylines. Lucy is a great ambassador for young talent."
Last week, Fallon was pictured filming on location in Manchester, as Bethany continues to get herself into trouble since returning from Italy.
The Blackpool-born actress landed the role when soap bosses dropped Katie Redford after confusion surrounding her real age.
OH I hope this Brat is not in for much longer, such a bad influence for young kids of today, and with FAye's unplanned pregnancy, Simon getting attitude, Max having the excuse of AHAD after he went off the rails.
Wonder if something is in the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't mind Bethany so much now, she is growing on me more and more, despite her looking about 20 :p
Well I like Bethany and I think she can just get away with playing a 14 year old! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...out-486576.gifQuote:

Bethany looks younger without the bright red lipstick - I've noticed that they seem to be moving away from her wearing that all the time.
And the very heavy foundation in earlyQuote:

I think you're right. The age difference between the actors who play Sarah and Bethany is the same in real life as their characters'. Mothers and daughters who have very small age gaps can often pass as sisters.Quote:

Bethany Platt proves she’s a traitor in next week’s Coronation Street when she starts feeding information about her own family back to Callum Logan. Callum is locked in a custody battle with David Platt and his wife Kylie, who are faking their romance in a bid to hold onto their son Max. But next week unbeknown to David and Kylie, Bethany starts spying on the couple and telling Callum everything she has heard. She hears a useful bit of information when Gail Rodwell questions her son and Kylie about how long they can keep up their charade. And as they discuss how they’re going to convince the court they’re a happy family, Bethany reports back to Sarah and Callum everything she has heard. How will Callum react to the couple’s apparent display of solidarity?
Meanwhile, David visits Michael in hospital to hand over a card from Gail, but is left annoyed when he see’s Kylie there. Leaving the hospital Kylie begs David to give her another chance, she’s been to the doctors and is determined to stay clean of drugs.
But is it too little too late for David, and will Callum ruin everything for them now that he knows they aren’t really back together?
Callum wants Kylie so this information is good for him. Bethany will soon realise that callum is ready to dump her and her mum soon due to info she herself stupidly disclosed
I think Callum gets Bethany into bed first though
I really hope your wrong. Her mother got pregnant by a boy from school. Callum is an adult.
Coronation Street boss Stuart Blackburn has revealed that there will be big trouble for teenager Bethany Platt this summer as Callum Logan uses her crush on him to his advantage.
Viewers have already seen Bethany (Lucy Fallon) betray her uncle David Platt by telling Callum about David's tactics to win custody of Max.
Speaking in a video previewing the show's summer storylines, Blackburn said: "Sarah Lou is involved with Callum and her daughter Bethany also has a crush on him. Callum will use this crush and Bethany will become his insurance policy if things go wrong.
"Bethany thinks she is grown up, but she is just a 15-year old kid. She is naive and she is going to get in a world of trouble because of her involvement with Callum."
Blackburn also teased that there would be some big developments in Roy and Cathy's friendship once he discovers her secret next week.
He said: "Roy and Cathy have been muddling along at the allotment but that is a friendship that is going to really develop and blossom when Roy discovers Cathy's secret.
"She has been very troubled since the death of her husband, she has problems with her house and so she ends up moving in with Roy. But don't worry, it is just as friends."
It has also been confirmed that troubled times for Carla Connor will pave the way for the arrival of Shayne Ward's character Aidan.
Blackburn added: "Carla wrongly believes that she is responsible for the deaths of Kal and Maddie and that takes her into a really dark place - she is very troubled. She starts gambling and ends up spending not only her money, but the factory's as well.
"Carla's troubles pave the way for Shayne Ward's character Aidan Connor to arrive. He will come in and, we hope, rescue the factory, which really is on its last legs.
"The summer, as cracking as it is, is all a prologue to what will be a cracking live episode in September."

Hes going to get her to push drugs so dont think its going to be sexual in any way.
Yes, hopefully that storyline would be too dark for Corrie.Quote:

Callum has already caused big trouble for the Platts this year, but it seems that he is only just beginning as his behaviour becomes more extreme over the coming months.
Fallon told the new issue of Inside Soap, out tomorrow: "What's coming up for Bethany is very intense. Some really scary things are going to happen involving her and the Platts - and it's quite a brave storyline, so I think viewers will be surprised.
"This could be the wake-up call she needs to straighten herself out."

Bethany and Callum
Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt, added: "We're gearing up for the live episode - and there's lots of action involving the Platts.
"It's all building towards David being out for revenge - but only time will tell as to whether he's finally met his match in Callum."
Last week, it was revealed that Jason Grimshaw will step up to protect the Platts when Callum turns nastier - which earns him a trip to hospital when the villain arranges for him to be beaten up by thugs.

Sarah and Jason hatch a plan

Jason will try to help his ex Sarah
Ryan Thomas, who plays Jason, explained: "It's different for Jason's character because he's normally playing the loveable family guy. It's just a change of character for him where he gets to be a little bit more aggressive and protective over his family and people around him.
"He's got a lot to do with Sarah and Bethany, protecting them and the Platts. There's a lot of fighting going on!"
she's started to roll her eyes again and you just see the whites of her eyes. Very off putting. Surely the camera team can pick that up?
I think Bethany should be seduced by Callum as she thinks she is such a "grown up" and
she gets pregnant, and at same time her mother gets pregnant by him too!
Can you imagine the commotion the two of them preggers by the "bad boy", (he could wait till her 16th birthday and give her a "surprise" present)
then with bit of luck, the two of them can disappear back to Milan with their bumps!!!

Callum seducing Bethany now would suit me fine, then he can go to prison for statutory rape.
It would funny if Bethany did get pregnant. She seems to be taking the moral high ground over Sarah and Faye - though if she did get pregnant, I could see her protesting that at least she lasted three years longer than them.
I really, really hope that doesn't happen! I don't want to have to witness it, even if it's mostly offscreen. :eek:Quote:

Coronation Street's Bethany Platt finds herself menaced in the playground by merciless school bullies
She's caused no end of problems for her mother and the rest of the Platt family.
But Coronation Street's own pint-sized diva, Bethany Platt, looks set to have rough time as she finds herself mercilessly bullied at school by a girl gang in new behind the scene shots.
Shooting on location at a local school in Manchester, on Tuesday, Lucy Fallon and a group of extras began to film Bethany's latest dramatic storyline - which sees the teen attacked in the playground.
In the up-coming storyline, the cobbles hell-raising teen will find herself on the receiving end of some malicious and violent behaviour, as a gang of girls brutally terrorize her at school.
Bethany - who returned to Weatherfield form Italy with mum Sarah in 2015 - has so far yet to settle into a quiet routine, as she has been keen to stir up strife and trouble at every opportunity.
But it seems she is set to take a turn as the victim, as the outspoken character is seen attracting the wrong sort of attention from some of her class mates.
In the latest teaser shots, Lucy Fallon's character can be seen sat outside in the school playground, wrapped up against the cold in her parka jacket.
Apparently keen to do some extra homework, Bethany is swotting up on her Biology homework, but appears keen to move when she spots a gang of girls coming her way.
Unfortunately for the mouthy member of the Platt clan, the girls have already spotted her and promptly surround her.
Encircling a nervous looking Bethany, the five girls begin to joke with each other; before squaring up to the cobbles youngster.
However things take a sinister and shocking turn when the bullying becomes physical, and a girl who appears to be the group's ringleader bears down on Bethany.
Grabbing her blonde hair roughly, the Weatherfield bully makes Bethany howl in pain as she forces her to the floor.
And while its not known if this is a one off story or a new on-going plot, Sarah's daughter looks thoroughly shocked and distressed after the menacing.
