Coronation Street has confirmed its newest love triangle, which has a link to a tragic death plot from earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s episode will see Brody Michaelis<\/a> and Betsy Swain flirt with each other, though we later see Betsy and Dylan Wilson grow closer when she suggests that Brody is trying too hard.<\/p>\n

Scenes airing next week<\/a> will see Betsy celebrate her 18th birthday, where she reveals to mum Lisa that she slept with Dylan \u2013 setting off a new complicated love story.<\/p>\n

Opening up about the storyline, Betsy actor Sydney Martin noted that her character and Dylan have been through “a lot” together, particularly the loss of Mason Radcliffe<\/a> a few months ago, which has drawn them closer together.<\/p>\n

“They both had to explore those emotions together, so they have that history there,” she said. “We see her a little bit with Brody and a bit with Dylan and how different the dynamic is between the two boys.”<\/p>\n

The star admitted it has been “interesting” to play with the dynamic, especially as “one’s quite fiery and one’s quite calm”.<\/p>\n

“I think with Dylan, he’s obviously been raised well, he’s a gentleman and he’s very sweet with her and maybe she’s not quite used to that,” Sydney continued. “Often with teenagers it’s all fiery hormones and arguments but I think she likes the calm.<\/p>\n

“I think there’ll always be that desire for a bit of a bad boy, but I think she feels safe with Dylan. It’s always nice to do scenes with Liam [McCheyne, who plays Dylan], because we have a very nice, sweet chemistry that I think works well on screen.”<\/p>\n

The star added that Betsy “genuinely does care” about Dylan and “he’s very important in her life”, though is also “very protective of herself”.<\/p>\n

“She lost two people at a really young age, so she’s also very guarded and wants to protect herself at the same time.”<\/p>\n

Scenes next week will see Betsy try to assert her independence towards Lisa as she storms off, with Sydney noting that her character has “dealt with a huge amount of grief already in her life”.<\/p>\n

“They go for a meal the week before, and Mason’s brought up, it’s a bit of a shock reminder that that was her life and now maybe it’s time to just go out and live a little,” she said.<\/p>\n

“You don’t know what’s going to happen, you never know what’s around the corner, it\u2019s almost a wake up call to grow up and get out there. I think she\u2019s been seeing people and maybe not telling her mum about it because she doesn’t want to be treated like a kid.”<\/p>\n

Opening up about the “really interesting dynamic” with her mother, the star explained “they’re so bad at communicating with each other” as Lisa “just wants to protect her baby”.<\/p>\n

“But at the same time, because of a job, she’s very controlling in the way she does it and I think Betsy finds that quite intrusive,” she added. “For Lisa it’s coming from a place of caring but for Betsy it feels quite overbearing, it feels more like a detective asking questions rather than a concerned mum.<\/p>\n

“So I think Betsy’s first response is to shut off and obviously Lisa finds that heartbreaking because she feels as though she’s losing a little girl after already losing such a big part of her life in who she thought was her lifelong partner.”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
