Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon says 'Bethany's back' as she 'confirms' soap return with stunning display

Lucy Fallon appears to have confirmed her return to Coronation Street as she joined her former soap family at an awards bash. The cast of the ITV soap as well as the likes of Emmerdale, EastEnders and Hollyoaks were out on force on Monday (September 25) at the Inside Soap Awards 2023.

EastEnders has dominated at the latest awards ceremony, taking home six gongs out of a possible 15 – including the award for best soap.
