Coronation Street fans convinced Bethany Platt is returning to soap for murderous Stephen Reid twist
CORONATION Street fans are convinced Bethany Platt is returning to the soap for a huge twist involving Stephen Reid.
Viewers of the ITV soap last saw Bethany in 2020 before she departed the cobbles for London.
However, they’re sure the character, who is played by Lucy Fallon, is set for a return to expose serial killer Stephen Reid.
The murderer has wreaked havoc on the street since his arrival and his villainous reign doesn’t appear to be ending anytime soon.
Taking to social media, fans are predicting Bethany will join forces with another resident to take Stephen down.
Posting on Reddit, they speculated how the young woman will make a comeback out of concern for her great grandmother Audrey Roberts.
One said: “Damon Hay secretly dates Sarah Barlow and acting as a good guy, secretly helps Bethany uncover Stephen’s financial misdeeds regarding Audrey’s property.”
A second commented: “Bethany returns out of concern for Audrey Roberts.”
“Bethany to return would be such a vibe and would 100 percent expose Stephen,” said a third.
While a fourth remarked: “She’d return and notice that Audrey’s finances were weird or a discrepancy in her property paperwork and start digging.”
Meanwhile, Coronation Street fans have been left horrified after working out who Stephen’s next victim will be.
They’re fearing the worst for his girlfriend Elaine after a scene aired showing him taking out a life insurance plan in her name.
This sparked fresh fear among fans that the nasty murderer had planned another grisly ending for his so-called wife as the only way to get his hands on her cash.
Reeling at his plan, one fan said: “One thinks Elaine is going to be very much brown bread soon come on tim stop your mam.”
Another added: “I guess it’s safe to say Bye Elaine you were as daft as they came.”
Coronation Street continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
