Coronation Street fans should expect to see more from Bethany Platt on their screens in the future, as actress Lucy Fallon has officially signed a new contract with the soap.
Fallon follows in the footsteps of fellow Weatherfield residents Kym Marsh and Brooke Vincent, who have both recently renewed their contracts.
Since making her debut in the role in March 2015, Fallon's time as Bethany has seen the teenager go through bullying plots, her mother's mental illness and her family's involvement in the murder and subsequent cover-up of Callum Logan's death.
And now that Fallon is sticking around a bit longer, Bethany's troubles are looking set to get even worse as the bullies return and Kylie Platt dies unexpectedly.
Speaking of what to expect next for her character, Fallon told Digital Spy that she's looking forward to seeing Bethany's vulnerable side.
"She's not just this ballsy, feisty character, she's a normal girl underneath it all," she said. "She does have feelings and she's been hurt by these girls."
Earlier this week, ITV announced that Coronation Street would be adding a sixth episode to its weekly schedule from next year, commenting that the move reflects ITV's commitment to "high quality soap for its hugely loyal audience".

I was not too keen on the character to start with but she has developed very nicely and glad she is staying another year at least
