Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street star Vicky Myers has shared more details of Betsy Swain’s big new storyline, promising that “powerful” scenes are on the way for the teenager.
Betsy and her boyfriend Dylan Wilson are expected to feature prominently later this year as the ITV soap explores their relationship further.
When we caught up with Vicky on set recently, we asked how involved her character Lisa Swain will be in Betsy’s new dramas.

Speaking exclusively to us, Vicky laughed: “Massively! Well, I’m saying massively because she is Betsy’s mother. So if Betsy’s involved, I think it’s safe to say that Lisa will be somewhere looking over her shoulder!
“But what’s to come is huge and I’m looking forward to getting started with it. That is extremely powerful but I can’t say much about it. It is going to be brilliant.”
Vicky went on to praise Sydney Martin and Liam McCheyne, who play Betsy and Dylan.
“I’m really excited for both of them – both Liam and Sydney – because it’s something that is going to be challenging for them,” she said.
“But they have the skills and talent to showcase it, so I’m excited – if that’s the right word!”

Liam first teased Dylan and Betsy’s next chapter in a recent interview with Inside Soap magazine.
“It’s going to be quite a big 2026,” Liam said. “I’ve got a nice storyline to get my teeth stuck into, which is great.
“It’ll be quite a lot of work with Sydney [Martin, who plays Betsy]. It’s very coming of age. It’s a subject storyline, which is obviously Corrie’s speciality – it’s one thing the show is amazing at. So I’m very excited for that.”
Meanwhile, anticipation is growing for a historic episode this Thursday (23 April) as Lisa finally ties the knot with Carla Connor.

The couple get to enjoy their happy day, unaware of the drama unfolding elsewhere on the cobbles as Betsy finds a body.
“I think it will be a turning point for Lisa in many ways,” Vicky added. “Betsy’s getting older. Lisa’s now married. She’s settled in Weatherfield, on Coronation Street.
“It’s going to be really interesting to see what she’s like as a character now and how she evolves. She’s settled, she’s calmer. She’s in a trusting, loving, supportive relationship and she feels understood by Carla.
“But will this galvanise everything that she’s feeling and make her feel stronger? Maybe we’ll see this new element to it, I hope so. Because it’d be a nice chance for her to relax into this relationship and get her feet firmly under the table in Weatherfield.”
Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
