Coronation Street 's Lucy Fallon has revealed that her character Bethany Platt is hiding a big secret from London amid her return this Christmas (ITV)Speaking to the Mirror and other press, Lucy said of Bethany: "She's basically been forced to come back, I don't know if I'm allowed to say what it is but there is something that's happened in London that has kind of forced her to come back but she's not revealing that straight away. She's being a bit secretive about why she has come back. I don't know if I can say anything else about that!"
Talking further about Bethany's return, she said: "She's grown up quite a lot. The last time we saw her, she probably felt more like a young girl, whereas now, she seems more like a woman. She's changed her dress sense, she's gone a little bit 'rock chick', I can't lie. She's grown up a lot but she has the same morals and things as before."

Lucy added: "The way she comes back is a bit dramatic for some people on the street and I think she is causing trouble already. One of the things that David Platt says: 'She's only been back five minutes, she's already causing problems!' I think she is [causing trouble] but it's unintentional. She's not come back to cause problems for people!"

So that was kind of like her cue to be like: 'Right, I'm off!'
"I would say that they probably haven't spoken at all in that time that she's been away. So I imagine when they bump into each other again, it will spark that connection again, whether she pursues it or not... I don't know whether I'm allowed to say!"
