Coronation Street fans spotted a familiar face with a brand-new look this week, as Harry Platt returned to Weatherfield — with another recast.

The young Platt, son of Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) and late villain Callum Logan, has been portrayed by several actors since his debut. The latest episode introduces Joshua Leavy as the newest actor to take over the role.

Harry Platt’s Return

Harry has been absent from screens since April, when Carter-J Murphy last appeared in the role before leaving to star in Matilda the Musical. Within the show, his absence was explained by Sarah, who mentioned Harry was spending his summer at a holiday club.

In Monday’s ITVX episode, Harry returns home for a cosy family evening. Sarah’s boyfriend Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) prepares dinner as Sarah, Harry, and Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) settle in for a relaxed night.

Bethany reveals her new Halloween costume — a confident statement outfit that proudly displays her stoma bag, encouraged by Hope Dobbs. Her younger brother Harry tells her she “looks cool,” earning smiles all around from Sarah and Kit.

A Familiar Face

Interestingly, Joshua Leavy is no stranger to the Coronation Street set. In 2021, he briefly appeared as Finn Chambers, the son of Sarah’s friend Lydia Chambers (Rebecca Ryan).

Fans may remember Lydia’s dramatic storyline — she had a romantic history with Sarah’s husband Adam Barlow, and her later harassment campaign nearly destroyed his marriage. Though Lydia claimed Finn was Adam’s son, she ultimately confessed she’d lied about the boy’s paternity in revenge after aborting Adam’s baby years earlier.

A Warm Welcome Back

Harry’s quiet reintroduction offers a sense of normalcy amid the Platt family’s usual chaos — but fans know peace rarely lasts long on Coronation Street.

With Kit and Sarah’s relationship deepening and Bethany back under the same roof, this new family dynamic could be setting the stage for more drama as autumn unfolds.
