Just when Weatherfield thought it had seen the last of Bethany Platt for a while, the truth has emerged — and it’s set to shake Coronation Street to its core.

Amid swirling rumours that Lucy Fallon had quietly left the ITV soap for good, fans were sent into a frenzy. Her character Bethany, who made a heartfelt departure earlier this year to pursue her journalism career in London, was last seen emotionally parting ways with Daniel Osbourne. The move was neatly timed with Fallon’s real-life maternity leave, as she welcomed her second child — a daughter named Nancy — into the world.

But the cobbles are never quiet for long. Whispers of Fallon signing with a new talent agency sparked fear that Bethany’s exit was permanent. However, a Coronation Street spokesperson has now laid the speculation to rest, confirming that Lucy will return to filming in summer 2025, and that Bethany will be back on-screen in October. For fans, that means the Bethany-Daniel-Daisy love triangle is far from over — and the fallout is only just beginning.

Bethany’s recent stint in Weatherfield wasn’t short of drama. Reuniting with her former flame Daniel Osbourne reignited not just old feelings, but also deep tensions — particularly with Daniel’s ex, Daisy Midgeley. The two women circled each other with thinly veiled hostility, their romantic histories with Daniel clashing in a subtle but simmering rivalry.

But Bethany was no damsel this time. She stormed into Weatherfield with fierce ambition, chasing leads as she tried to revive her journalism career, even as the spectre of her traumatic past returned to haunt her. The shocking news that her abuser Nathan Curtis had been released from prison left her reeling, and viewers watched as the trauma she had once endured threatened to pull her under again.

If that wasn’t enough, Bethany’s world took another devastating turn. A cosmetic surgery trip to Turkey — intended to help her reclaim her confidence — went tragically wrong. She returned with a permanent stoma bag, a life-changing consequence that both empowered and isolated her. Through it all, Daniel tried to be supportive, but the shadow of Daisy loomed large.

And then came Christmas Day. In classic Corrie fashion, the drama escalated under twinkling lights and tinsel. Daniel, seemingly ready to move on, proposed to Bethany. She said yes, unaware of the ticking time bomb set to detonate under their future. Because what she didn’t know was this: a one-night stand between Daniel and Daisy, weeks earlier, may have resulted in Daisy’s pregnancy.

While Bethany basked in her engagement, Daisy wrestled with the truth — and her silence. The tension built slowly, dangerously. And when Bethany suggested that Daniel follow her back to London for a trial move, he agreed. A smug Bethany, thinking she had finally won, celebrated her triumph at the Rovers.

But Daisy had had enough.

In a blistering moment of truth, she dropped the bombshell that she was pregnant — and that Daniel might be the father.

The revelation shattered everything.

Now, as Bethany prepares to return to Weatherfield this autumn, the pieces of that heartbreak still lie scattered. What will her comeback look like? Will she be ready for war, or will time away have softened her fury? And what of Daniel — still torn between two women, one bound to him by loyalty, the other perhaps by blood?

Daisy’s own exit storyline plays into this emotional storm. As she gears up to leave the cobbles for a new chapter overseas, fans are left wondering whether Bethany’s return could coincide with the final unraveling of the love triangle. With Daisy gone, could Daniel and Bethany finally find peace — or will Daisy’s baby haunt their every step?

The writers have laid the groundwork for a deeply emotional, high-stakes storyline. Bethany’s resilience will be tested once more, but this time she returns wiser, hardened, and ready to reclaim her narrative. Her comeback won’t just stir gossip — it could set the entire street ablaze.

And with Lucy Fallon officially set to resume filming in summer, fans can now rest assured: Bethany Platt’s story is far from over.
