Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street star Vicky Myers has shared more details of Betsy Swain’s big new storyline<\/a>, promising that “powerful” scenes are on the way for the teenager.<\/p>\n

Betsy and her boyfriend Dylan Wilson are expected to feature prominently later this year as the ITV soap explores their relationship further.<\/p>\n

When we caught up with Vicky on set recently<\/a>, we asked how involved her character Lisa Swain will be in Betsy’s new dramas.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Vicky went on to praise Sydney Martin and Liam McCheyne, who play Betsy and Dylan.<\/p>\n

“I’m really excited for both of them \u2013 both Liam and Sydney \u2013 because it’s something that is going to be challenging for them,” she said. <\/p>\n

“But they have the skills and talent to showcase it, so I’m excited \u2013 if that’s the right word!”<\/p>\n

Liam first teased Dylan and Betsy’s next chapter in a recent interview with Inside Soap<\/a> magazine.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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 \u2013 it’s one thing the show is amazing at. So I’m very excited for that.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, anticipation is growing for a historic episode this Thursday (23 April)<\/a> as Lisa finally ties the knot with Carla Connor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The couple get to enjoy their happy day, unaware of the drama unfolding elsewhere on the cobbles as Betsy finds a body.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

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