Ever since Ryan Connor was used by Jodie Ramsey<\/a>, it’s been a quiet time for the beloved character on Coronation Street. But following Thursday’s (3 September) episode of the ITV soap<\/a>, some fans think he may have met a love interest.<\/p>\n

The instalment<\/a> saw Ryan speak with Bethany Platt, who was trying to get her own love life in order as she planned a date with Roman. The pair had a quick conversation, and their chemistry was palpable.<\/p>\n

Though nothing has been officially confirmed, several fans speculated that the exchange could set up a potential storyline – and the majority were certainly happy that Ryan could be getting more screen time.<\/p>\n

“Looks like Corrie are going to revisit Ryan and Bethany’s obvious attraction I’m all for it,” wrote one viewer on X<\/a>, while another added<\/a>: “Definitely here for this. Bethany deserves a good guy and Ryan is definitely that.”<\/p>\n

One viewer also pointed out Bethany and Ryan’s shared history, writing<\/a>: “Did anyone else see chemistry between Ryan & Bethany? Would they make a good couple, despite having already slept together in 2019.”<\/p>\n

“Are they teasing a Ryan and Bethany romance? Or did I just read too much into that interaction?” asked another fan<\/a>, while a fifth replied<\/a>: “Well, if you did, then so did I. Definitely a spark in the hair salon.”<\/p>\n

“What is going on here? I didn’t love Bethany & Ryan together before but maybe now would work? Definitely feels like they’re setting up for him to date someone soon. His outfits are so different now,” noted another fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One user echoed this sentiment, writing<\/a>: “Loving Ryan\u2019s hair & his new style! He looks so cool, also please let him and Bethany get together again. They are good together. Plus imagine the family scenes between the Platts & The Connor-Swains it would be gold!”<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if Ryan and Bethany will get together, but he may have to watch out, as actor Lucy Fallon – who plays the latter – has stated that her character won’t be too popular when her next storyline is developed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“She does [have a big storyline coming up]. I can’t tell you what it is, but it’s not going to be great. I don’t think people are going to be happy about it,” teased the actor. “This one is low-key her fault. Everyone is going to be like, ‘She is a dick.'”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
