Coronation Street's original Bethany Platt twins are unrecognisable after 16 years
dailyrecord.co.ukThe twins who first played Bethany Platt on ITV's Coronation Street were on viewers' screens for seven years and now look completely different following their Weatherfield exit.Bethany shot to fame after the character was taken on by Lucy Fallon - who has been a part of some of the soap's most harrowing storylines during her time on screens.
Lucy made her debut on the famous cobbles in 2015 before she left five years later as Sarah Platt's daughter looked to pursue a career in journalism by moving to London, reports the Mirror.The positive news for fans of the soap is that Bethany is making a return, with Lucy once again portraying the character.
