Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon teases 'huge' Bethany storyline as she ditches character after 'promise'

Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon has teased a 'huge' upcoming storyline that will involve her character Bethany Platt - but it's not to do with the current Lauren Bolton disappearance/murder case. The actress reprised her role in the ITV soap just as the New Year arrived in Weatherfield.

Blackpool-born Lucy returned to the cobbles after nearly four years away and, as soon as Bethany stepped foot back into Weatherfield, the returnee caught the eye of former flame Daniel Osbourne. It wasn't long before they were finishing where they once left off - ruffling the feathers of his recent ex-fiancée Daisy Midgeley.

She also caused drama when, after discovering details of Daniel's complicated history with Daisy and Ryan Connor after being involved in a horrifying acid attack at the hands of Daisy's stalker Justin Rutherford, she realised that it's the perfect story to sell to gossip magazine Chit Chat amid her financial woes

DS Lisa Swain is now leading a murder investigation.
