Coronation Street icon makes shock return to soap set almost a YEAR after disappearing
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CORONATION Street favourite has made a shock return to the cobbles - nearly a year after leaving the soap. Lucy Fallon - who plays Bethany Platt - was spotted back on set this week, sparking rumours of an explosive new storyline and leaving viewers thrilled at the surprise comeback. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 In February, Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) packed her bags, ditching Daniel and heading back to London for a fresh start Credit: ITV 5 The real-life, the actress went on maternity leave to give birth to her daughter Nancy Credit: Instagram The actress, 27, is back from maternity leave after leaving in February to give birth to her second child – her daughter Nancy Margaret. The mum-of-two took to Instagram to reveal that she's back on the Corrie set as she posed for a photo in her dressing room. Lucy wrote: "And just like that she's back." A Coronation Street spokesperson confirmed that "Lucy will be returning to filming in the summer after maternity leave, as always planned and that Bethany will be back on screen in October." However, there were rumours that Lucy had quit the ITV soap for good - amid the shock cast cull. It was revealed that the star had signed with the talent agency Off Limits - leaving fans fearing she won't be returning to Corrie. And viewers had seen the likes of Craig Tinker, Eileen Grimshaw, Mason Radcliffe and Yasmeen Nazir all given the boot within weeks of each other. Lucy's latest social media post confirmed she will be returning to the cobbles... but for how long? Before her dramatic exit earlier this year, Bethany returned to the Street on New Year's Eve 2023 - and wasted no time diving headfirst into chaos. She quickly rekindled things with ex Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), but happiness was short-lived. Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon pregnant with her second child as she shares news with footballer boyfriend and son Bethany came face-to-face with vile abuser Nathan Curtis (Christopher Parker) following his prison release, and later underwent botched cosmetic surgery in Turkey. The risky op left her battling sepsis and needing a permanent stoma bag. Then, just as things seemed to be looking up, Daniel popped the question on Christmas Day - and Bethany said yes, unaware that his ex Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) had just discovered she was pregnant… and Daniel might be the dad after a one-night stand. The truth didn't stay buried for long - and with emotions running high, Bethany packed her bags once again, ditching Daniel and heading back to London for a fresh start. Bethany Platt's biggest Corrie storylines Bethany is the daughter of Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) and her classmate Neil Fearns (Paul Holowaty). Sarah fell pregnant at the age of just 12-years-old, much to the horror of her family. When she was a child, Bethany's was involved in a major storyline when she took ecstasy tablets. This was when her uncle, David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd), hid them in her doll. The character departed the soap in 2007 with her mum for a new life in Milan. Her return storyline saw the teenager run away back to Weatherfield with a new actress as Lucy Fallon took over the role. Storylines since then have included major school bullying. Her teachers said she was skipping school as she told them that she was attending grief counselling. Sarah and David soon realised that Bethany intercepted letters and emails from the school. She was being tormented by a group of girls, which included her mainbully Lauren (Shannon Flynn). Gary notices the bullying and reports it to the school. Due to several incidents, Lauren makes out that Bethany is the bully and they are both suspended. During this time, Bethany helps David out at the salon and Lauren comes in for a treatment. David then threatened her to leave his family alone. This was before she was expelled from the school after other girls came forward about the torment. Bethany was later at the centre of one of Corrie's darkest storylines when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator Nathan Curtis. The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her. The storyline was based on a real life story and also drew inspiration from the child sex abuse ring in Rochdale, which saw nine men jailed in 2012. But what brings Bethany back to Weatherfield? And with Daisy now gone... will she pick up where she left off with Daniel? Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX. 5 Bethany underwent botched cosmetic surgery in Turkey, leaving her needing a permanent stoma bag Credit: ITV 5 She accepted Daniel's proposal unaware that his ex Daisy had just discovered she was pregnant Credit: ITV

Inside the idyllic coastal Scottish property that's on the market for offers over £2,200,000
As far as fantasy Scottish homes go, Drumbain has it all, with a cherry (and sparkler) on top. The South Ayrshire countryside property is located at Fisherton in Ayr, which is near Culzean Castle and just four and a half miles from Alloway - the birthplace of Robert Burns. The coastal house is sheltered by trees and set in 53 acres of its own grass-land, which is currently used for grazing. It also has a walled garden, mature woodland, various outbuildings and 400 yards of private shoreline, so nobody will disturb your stone-skimming practice or occasional skinny dip. There's even a 'party barn' included, should you want to invite a few pals over for a hoe-down. The main house includes the original farmhouse, but also modern additions to the structure, and there are six bedrooms - four of which are en-suite - as well as two further bathrooms, some with roll-top baths and others that offer double sinks or wet rooms. The property also boasts four reception rooms, including a living room and snug, as well as a huge open-plan glass-walled kitchen that offers uninterrupted views of the Firth of Clyde and opens out onto one of the two paved terraces. Those who want to avoid getting a roller in their hand, needn't worry. The current owner, Ethan Lyell - who is based in the US, and is the grandson of legendary country music singer and songwriter, the late Loretta Lynn - has decorated his pad in a luxurious and restful style to keep any buyer happy. To match the whitewashed exterior, the inside is almost all white, or decorated in other neutral shades, like buff, cream and silvery grey. There is not an avocado suite in sight. The price for this slice of paradise is pitched at offers over £2,200,000 and it's on the market with estate agents, Rettie. We asked Lyell to tell us a bit more about the house. Why are you moving on? We're selling as our work commitments and family obligations, because of ageing parents, are making it more difficult to visit as frequently as we originally planned. How long have you owned Drumbain and have you loved staying there? We purchased Drumbain back in March of 2024. We spent about six weeks there last year and most recently spent five months in 2025. Tell us about the history of the property - when does it date from, and what new additions have been added? We're told the original property dates back over 100 years, then the various buildings were combined to form the main home. The prior owners added the glass kitchen structure to the building around 2008 and then we refreshed the home after purchasing it. Where do you get your interior design inspiration? We worked with a local designer, Lori James of Lori James Interiors, who is a long-time resident of the area to bring a cosy, relaxed and coastal feeling to the home, and they also added touches of Scottish flair that would pay homage to its history and coastal location. Where did you find your paintings - is that a favourite artist's work on the walls? We added a few pieces from a local artist, Philip Raskin, as they bring a bit of the seascape to the room. There are some interesting architectural features, like the staircases and beams, do you think they add to the house's character? The staircase was a later addition to the home and the beams were present when we purchased the home but we painted them to soften and add a layer of texture to the overall rooms. What have been your happiest times in the house? We took our five dogs with us while staying at Drumbain over the last five months of 2025. We've had an amazing time taking them out to explore the coastline and trails on the property. The evenings here are simply amazing as the sun sets behind Arran. Each evening is like looking at a different watercolour painting. What are your favourite spaces in the property and on the surrounding land? It's hard to pick one. The property is filled with many experiences. The chaise longues by the spa are perfect to enjoy the sunsets over Arran with a glass of wine in hand. The dogs and I love walking in the walled garden in the mornings, while I have a cup of coffee and take time to meditate next to the stream. Also, the woodland trail is a beautiful and enchanting hike down to the coast. Along the way, you will likely manage to spot an owl, deer, and various beautiful songbirds before reaching the sea. Do you spot any other wildlife with the country location? Drumbain is full of wildlife. I love watching deer, hares, birds, owls, and hawk, not forgetting the local residents – all the sheep and cattle. What opportunities does the land offer to a buyer? The land offers opportunity for wildlife, nature and coastal hikes in addition to the sheep and cattle grazing it today. Have you enjoyed living in that area, and what are your favourite things to do? We love the location. It's extremely convenient to fly into Prestwick along with the dogs. We love exploring the history that being in Scotland offers, especially in the area with lots of day trips to historic sites, as well as hiking with the dogs. For more information on Drumbain, see
