Coronation Street’s Lucy Fallon has officially returned to the cobbles, three years after she left her role on the soap. 

The actress, who plays Bethany Platt, is back filming again with her Corrie family as she took to Instagram to address her fans on Thursday. 

Teasing her return, Lucy appeared on Coronation Street’s Instagram account as she announced she was back filming and excited for her character’s new chapter.

‘A little bit nervous and I can’t wait for you all to see what Bethany is up to. Bye!’

It was announced in August that Lucy was reportedly returning to the soap and will be back on viewers screens in scenes set to air after Christmas. 

A TV source told The Sun at the time: ‘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.’

Clearly excited for the Platt family member’s return, the soap captioned the post: ‘Look who’s back! Bethany returns with a whole new look.

Watch out for her arrival on screen towards the end of the year. @lucyfallon #Corrie.’

A firm fan favourite, viewers rushed to the comments to express their delight at Bethany’s return. 

One fan wrote: ‘Love her!! Can’t wait to see her back onscreen❤️’ while another penned: ‘FAVOURITE CHARACTER IS BACK!! ❤️’.
