Lucy Fallon is set to return to Coronation Street in a highly-anticipated return three years.

The 27-year-old actress played the role of Bethany Platt from 2015 to 2020. She is expected to return to air in the "coming months" which will be welcome news to fans of the popular ITV soap.

According to reports in The Sun, Lucy is said to be "impressed" by the upcoming storylines the production team has lined up for her.

A source told the publication: “Lucy is one of soap’s most talented actresses who won lots of awards for her powerful portrayal of Bethany’s grooming storyline.

“Bosses reached out to her a few weeks ago about the possibility of coming back, and told her everything they’d planned for Bethany if she agreed. She discussed it with her boyfriend, and family, because she’s a mum now with a baby.

“Once they’d talked about childcare, and how best to juggle it all, she was able to say she’d love to return.”

During her time away from Corrie, she has appeared in the Audible audio drama Sour Hall alongside Doctor Who star Pearl Mackie and period drama Tom Jones for ITVX and PBS, which premiered earlier this year.

Lucy also welcomed a baby boy named Sonny Jude with footballing partner Ryan Ledson earlier this year.

It comes as she spoke previously of keeping an open mind about returning to the Cobbles one day, as she said she would "never say never" to returning to the screen.

She said in 2021: "I didn't leave for any particular reason. I didn't leave because I didn't like it. I left because I wanted to go down different avenues."

Coronation Streetairs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
