Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon)<\/strong> – returning<\/h2>\nWhile her on-screen mother Sarah Platt is recovering from her shocking miscarriage, Bethany Platt has been confirmed to return to Weatherfield in upcoming months. <\/p>\n
Actress Lucy Fallon will reprise her role after three years of absence and left the show when her character moved away to London for a new career opportunity. <\/p>\n
Her exit left a grieving Daniel Osbourne heartbroken but he has since moved on with Rovers barmaid Daisy Midgeley. <\/p>\n
Bethany is said to be returning to the cobbles this winter with a source telling The Sun: "Bosses reached out to her a few weeks ago about the possibility of coming back, and told her everything they\u2019d planned for Bethany if she agreed."<\/p>\n
"She discussed it with her boyfriend, and family, because she\u2019s a mum now with a baby."<\/p>\n
"Once they\u2019d talked about childcare, and how best to juggle it all, she was able to say she\u2019d love to return."<\/p>\n
What will it mean for Daniel and Daisy?<\/p>\n
Lucy Fallon herself teased trouble ahead for the couple while speaking to The Sun in September. <\/p>\n
"I'm interested to see what they'll do with\u00a0Daniel,\u00a0Daisy\u00a0and Bethany. It's going to be exciting", she said. <\/p>\n
What drama will she cause? <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ange (Nicole Barber-Lane) – joining<\/h2>\n Former Hollyoaks mainstay Nicole Barber-Lane is taking a trip over to the cobbles when she joins the soap later this month.<\/p>\n
Nicole confirmed the\u00a0news\u00a0that she had landed a role on the\u00a0ITV\u00a0soap\u00a0opera\u00a0on\u00a0Instagram.<\/p>\n
Sharing two snaps of her on the famous\u00a0Weatherfield\u00a0set, she looked all ready to make her 'cameo' on\u00a0the show.<\/p>\n
Having previously teased fans about her latest TV venture, Nicole wrote online: "So if you guessed\u00a0@coronationstreet\u00a0you were right! Such a pleasure to do a little cameo…..[look] out for Ange in last week in September……"<\/p>\n
But Nicole's role is expected to be a little bit more than a cameo in her role as Ange.<\/p>\n
She will appear on the show for a slew of episodes in the final week of September as a rival cab owner to Steve McDondald.<\/p>\n
It is thought that Ange is aiming to strike a deal with Kevin's garage, Webster's Auto's, which could prove for a sticky situation for the Weatherfield pals.<\/p>\n
Nicole rose to fame on the\u00a0Channel 4\u00a0rival in the role of Myra McQueen.<\/p>\n
Myra first debuted in 2006 before sticking around on and off for 13 years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cassandra Plummer (Claire Sweeney) – joined<\/h2>\n Evelyn Plummer (portrayed by Maureen Lipman) claimed her daughter Cassandra, aka Cassie, was dead. <\/p>\n
But how will she explain her arrival in the cobbles to her grandson Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall)? <\/p>\n
Brookside star Claire Sweeney joined the line-up as the mechanic's long-lost mother. <\/p>\n
Speaking of her arrival, the actress said: "Even though I\u2019ve been lucky enough to have enjoyed an amazingly varied career for nearly 40 years \u2013 being cast in Coronation Street is, to me, better than being cast in a Hollywood movie!"<\/p>\n
"I\u2019ve watched it all my life and can\u2019t quite believe that I\u2019ll now be stepping onto those famous cobbles myself."<\/p>\n
"I was really nervous when I got the scripts to audition as this show means so much to me and my family and this is Corrie gold, I was beyond thrilled and very grateful when I got the call that Iain MacLeod is trusting me to play Tyrone\u2019s Mum and work alongside one of my heroes, Dame Maureen Lipman."<\/p>\n
Although Claire Sweeney and Maureen Lipman temporarily left the show, the pair are due to return according to recent spoilers. <\/p>\n
Cassie will also be telling Tyrone she's his mother. <\/p>\n
How will he react?<\/p>\n

Fiz Dobbs (Jennie McAlpine) – returning<\/h2>\n The year 2022 ended on a high note for Underworld machinist Fiz Stape as she FINALLY tied the knot with on-off flame Tyrone Dobbs. <\/p>\n
But soap legend Jennie McAlpine had some great news of her own off-screen. <\/p>\n
The actress recently announced she was expecting her third child with her husband Chris Farr.<\/p>\n
"Alan [Halsall aka Tyrone Dobbs] was the first person I told", she told\u00a0OK! Magazine. <\/p>\n
"I was thinking, 'I might not be feeling brilliant and if you bring any butter near me I might feel sick'. We've been busy, so he's really looked after me \u2013 and the bosses."<\/p>\n
"They all know and they're all really happy. We might have to start hiding Fiz behind a washing basket again!"<\/p>\n
As of January, 2023, the Fiz star was six months pregnant and she left the cobbles in May, 2023. <\/p>\n
Serial killer Stephen Reid sent the beloved machinist away to take the helm in Norwich but she will keep in touch with her family during her absence. <\/p>\n
It is unknown how long Jennie will be stayibng away from the show but her on-screen alter ego is said to be working away from Weatherfield for six months. <\/p>\n
This would mean Jennie McAlpine could potentially reprise her role at the end of this year. <\/p>\n

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash)<\/strong> – leaving<\/h2>\nPaul will be killed-off later this year after the\u00a0character is diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).<\/p>\n
MND is a fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, attacking the nerves that control movement so muscles no longer work, often impacting the patient's senses such as sight, sound and feeling.<\/p>\n
The soap is working closely the MND Association on this storyline and will explore the impact of the diagnosis on Paul and his loved ones as his condition progresses.<\/p>\n
Actor Peter Ash said: "Paul is completely blindsided by the diagnosis and he decides to keep it from his family and friends as he tries to come to terms with the news.<\/p>\n
"I knew very little about MND before embarking on the storyline and I am hugely grateful to the MND Association for all their help and support. <\/p>\n
"For any actor playing a role which examines a real life issue or condition there comes a huge sense of responsibility and we are aware that some people watching this storyline are experiencing it in reality, it is their life.<\/p>\n
