Coronation Street’s Bethany Platt<\/a> has experienced her fair share of romantic disasters, most recently having a one-night stand with her mum’s ex-boyfriend Kit Green<\/a>. But upcoming scenes could signal a turning point in her love life, as she rekindles an old spark with a fan favourite. <\/p>\n

Lately, Bethany has been sharing the screen with Ryan Connor a lot more than usual, leading fans to point out their obvious chemistry<\/a>. And after a few flirty exchanges, next week’s episodes will see the pair going on a date. <\/p>\n

Speaking about their history, Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany, praised the storyline and called Ryan “a good choice” for her character.<\/p>\n

“They’ve been with each other quite briefly probably about eight years ago. They had a bit of a thing for a little while, then Bethany moved on to Daniel [Osbourne]. To be fair I did see it coming \u2013 Bethany can’t go back with Daniel, that ship has severely sailed, so far away you can’t even see it! <\/p>\n

“Ryan is a good choice. I think the pair of them work really well, and I love working with Ryan [Prescott, who plays Ryan] as well, so it’s a good one for me.”<\/p>\n

The star shared Bethany’s optimism about the date, as she tries to move on from her ill-advised fling with Kit<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“Obviously the guilt about Kit is on her mind but she’s not thinking she’d rather be with him, she definitely thinks this is a good way for her to forget that even happened and move on. But also she genuinely likes Ryan and thinks they would be good together. So she is optimistic.” <\/p>\n

Ryan has appeared in Weatherfield on and off for 20 years and has become a favourite among viewers, as well as for Fallon. The actor explained why he is a good match for Bethany, calling him a “genuinely nice person” with “good morals”. <\/p>\n

“He’s been through quite a lot so maybe they can trauma bond. They can understand each other \u2013 he has scars on his face, she has a stoma, I think they’d have a sort of understanding there,” she continued. <\/p>\n

“He’s also fun as well. When she was with Daniel, his character is quite serious, Ryan is more fun and I think that’s what Bethany needs. A bit of fun.”<\/p>\n

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