Bethany’s Dramatic Return

Bethany Platt has finally returned to Coronation Street after more than seven months away, and her comeback is already causing a stir. Actress Lucy Fallon, who welcomed her second child earlier this year, reprised the role in Friday’s episode (October 3).

Her first scenes back were nothing short of dramatic, as Bethany found herself being questioned by PC Kit Green after allegedly stealing a car. She explained that she’d borrowed it from her boss in London without consent, having recently resigned from her magazine job.

Thanks to Kit stepping in, Bethany avoided serious trouble and later reunited with her mum Sarah, who was delighted to welcome her daughter back to Weatherfield for good.

Struggles and Support

Despite Sarah’s joy, Bethany confessed she was broke and jobless. Her mother reassured her she could move back in, determined to help her get back on her feet. But fans are already convinced Bethany’s troubles will be overshadowed by something far juicier — a new romance.

Fans Speculate a Bethany and Kit Twist

Viewers quickly took to social media after spotting sparks between Bethany and Kit, who, awkwardly, is currently dating her mother Sarah.

On a Coronation Street fan page, one viewer wrote: “Kit and Bethany are def going to be a thing.” Another predicted: “How long until Bethany and Kit sleep together then?” A third chimed in: “I said the same.”

Others suggested a messy love triangle could be on the horizon, with one fan adding: “Knowing Kit, he’ll bed Bethany while still bedding her mother!”

Lucy Fallon on Her Return

Speaking about her comeback, Lucy admitted she was thrilled to be back on the cobbles. “It’s good to be back with everybody – not hiding a baby bump anymore!” she told Digital Spy. “It’s nice to just be free! It’s exciting, I’m looking forward to everyone seeing it.”

What’s Next for Bethany?

With Bethany settling back in Weatherfield, tensions already simmering in Sarah and Kit’s romance, and fans predicting betrayal ahead, her return is shaping up to be explosive. If speculation proves true, the Platt family could be facing one of its messiest scandals yet.
