Lucy Fallon has admitted she feared her return to Corrie would be a disaster.
The TV favourite is set to reprise her role as Bethany Platt on the ITV soap this December after four years away and she’s admitted she was wracked with nerves during filming. She said: “It was like the first day back at school. “I’d had nearly four years away from the show and then going back. I was like, ‘Am I going to know my lines? Are people going to remember who I am when I walk into the building? Will people be like, ‘Who is this girl?’
“I was super nervous, but after a few days it was like I’d never been away.” Lucy, 28, has now been back on set for two months and she’s beaten the nerves.

She added: “The best decision I’ve ever made… going back. It’s just the best place to work and some of my best friends work on that show, so I’m just so happy.” Starring on the soap this time is different for Lucy because she’s now a mum. The actress welcomed little boy Sonny in January with boyfriend Ryan Ledson, 26.
She said: “It’s been really nice but it’s a huge juggle, trying to figure out where he’s going to be when I have work at 7am and Ryan’s got to go to football. So it is a juggle, but it’s kind of nice because I’ve got a little bit of my old self back which I think sometimes you can lose when you have a baby.” Lucy’s comeback will air on the soap on New Year’s Eve.

A firm fan favourite, viewers rushed to express their delight at Bethany’s return. “Love her!! Can’t wait to see her back onscreen,” penned one fan, while another added: “FAVOURITE CHARACTER IS BACK!!”. A third added: “I feel she’s back to cause trouble can’t wait x”
Other’s predicted Bethany is back to worm her way back into a relationship with Daniel who is now with Daisy. One viewer suggested: “She’ll get with Daniel and Daisey will get with Ryan…”
Another said at the time: “Daniel is gonna find out about daisy cheating and I reckon Daniel will get back with Bethany”. Lucy starred on Corrie from 2015 to 2020 before Bethany left for a magazine internship in London.
