Coronation Street icon makes shock return to soap set almost a YEAR after disappearing

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. 5 5 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." 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 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 5 5

Coronation Street siblings look unrecognisable almost two decades on from ITV soap exit

CORONATION Street fans have been left stunned after spotting two former child stars looking totally unrecognisable. The twin sisters were last seen in Weatherfield 17 years ago - but do you recognise them? 5 5 Twin sisters, Emily and Amy Walton, shared the role of Bethany Platt for seven years from 2000 to 2007 on Coronation Street. The long-standing character first appeared on the cobbles back in 2000 and is the daughter of Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien). They were involved in some major dramatic storylines from being kidnapped by her paternal grandmother Brenda Fearns (Julia Deakin), to taking an ecstasy pill that her uncle had stashed inside of her doll and ended up hospitalised. However, Bethany left the cobbles in 2007 when Sarah decided to move to Italy. Since then, the twins have moved away from the acting and showbiz world. They competed in the British Trampoline finals in 2016, with Amy securing a place in Great Britain's team the European Championships the following year. Emily shared a snap with her sister on Instagram back in January - and the pair look worlds away from their Coronation Street days. They both beamed at the camera as they holidayed in Thailand. She captioned the snap: "The last of Thailand," alongside a yellow heart emoji. Meanwhile, when Bethany Platt returned in 2015, Lucy Fallon took over the role. Inside Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon's £300 per night holiday at luxury getaway She has brought drama and awareness through major storylines, including being groomed by Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) and getting a stoma bag through botched surgery. The 29-year-old returned to Corrie in December 2023 after having previously left in 2019 to go on maternity leave after welcoming her first child, Sonny, in early 2023. The actress then revealed she was leaving again shortly after she announced she was pregnant with her second child, who she gave birth to in January with partner Ryan Ledson. Despite exiting twice, the door has always being left open for her to return - but Lucy has now hinted she's quit for good. Soap characters who've been recast Soap operas are staple viewing for many people, but even some of the most famous characters have been played by different actors. Here are some examples from over the years. Coronation Street Tracy Barlow: Kate Ford took on the role of Corrie legend Tracy Barlow in 2002. Before Kate, three other actresses had played Tracy - most notably Dawn Acton from 1988 to 1999. Nick Tilsley: Ben Price has been playing Gail's oldest child in 2009, but the former Footballers' Wives star is the third actor to take on the part. Sarah Platt: Although Tina O'Brien debuted as Sarah Platt in 1999, she is the third actress who has played the iconic role of Sarah Platt. David Platt: Completing the line-up of Gail's children, David was initially played by Thomas Ormson for a decade before Jack P. Shepherd took over. Daniel Osbourne: For almost a decade, the role of Ken Barlow's son Daniel has been portrayed by actor Rob Mallard. Before Rob joined, two other actors had previously played Daniel. Bethany Platt: Fans know Lucy Fallon as Bethany nowadays but before her, three other actresses had stepped into the character's shoes. Kirk Sutherland: Before Andy Whyment took on the role of Kirk, he played by an uncredited actor in his very first appearance. Todd Grimshaw: Gareth Pierce stepped into the role of Todd back in 2020, becoming the second performer to play this part. Summer Spellman: Harriet Bibby became the second actress to play Summer, taking over the role from Matilda Freeman in 2020. Ryan Connor: Ryan Prescott currently plays the long-running character, but Ben Thompson and Sol Heras had earlier portrayed the role. EastEnders Martin Fowler: Although Martin was the first baby born on-screen in EastEnders, he hasn't always been played by the same person. His current portrayer, James Bye, is the third actor to star as the character. Peter Beale: Seven actors have portrayed Ian Beale's elder son, with the current actor, Thomas Law, in his second stint as the character. Ben Mitchell: Ben has been played by a total of six actors - with Max Bowden bowing out of the role in March 2024. Bobby Beale: Before Clay Milner Russell, Ian's younger son had been played by four other actors. Freddie Slater: Bobby's best mate, Freddie Slater, had been previously played by twins Alex and Tom Kilby before Bobby Brazier took over in 2022. Chelsea Fox: Former Coronation Street actress Zaraah Abrahams took over the role of Chelsea in 2020. The character had been first played by Tiana Benjamin from 2006 to 2010. Lauren Branning: Jacqueline Jossa took on the role of Lauren in 2010, succeeding Madeline Duggan who'd played her from 2006 to 2010. Johnny Carter: Johnny has been played by three actors since debuting in 2013 - most recently, Charlie Suff has taken on the role. The soap star has signed up to talent agent Off Limits, which help TV stars and influencer clients land brand deals, which goes against ITV's strict rules for their cast. While Coronation Street does allow product placement on the show, like with the Co-op and Costa Coffee, the cast is generally restricted from doing their own brand deals. This has caused some tension, with actors expressing frustration at being able to promote products on the show but not off-screen. The Sun have reached out to Lucy's rep for comment. A slew of mid-salary stars is furious that ITV bosses have agreed to the money-spinning deal to have the high street giants' shopfronts and products on-screen on the expanded new set. But at the same time, cast members are banned from taking ad work promoting products away from the soap that could massively boost their earnings. ITV rules state that the stars are only allowed to take part in other shows like I'm A Celebrity and Dancing on Ice and do personal appearances like shop openings. It comes after Jack P Shepherd is set to be bombarded with big money deals after winning Celebrity Big Brother. But any plans to cash in by signing up to star in television adverts will be blocked by Coronation Street bosses. A TV insider said: "It used to be a lot more strict, but these days ITV soap stars are allowed certain partnerships that are permitted on social media. "The line is drawn at advertising more generally - and absolutely no TV adverts." 5 5 5
