Mass Exodus From Coronation Street As Another Cast Member Quits – Lucy Fallon Will Exit As Bethany

It’s official! Another fan favorite is leaving “Coronation Street.” To their dismay, viewers will have to say goodbye to Lucy Fallon as she is set to leave the cobbles as Bethany Platt.

“I have made the extremely difficult decision to leave Coronation Street at the end of my contract in 2020,” Fallon told Digital Spy, giving fans about a year before she will bid her final farewell.

“It’s hard to put into words how much this show means to me. I’ve made lifelong friends with some of the most talented and hardworking people in the industry, I’ve had some terrific and immensely important storylines and I’ve laughed with the best people every day.

Coronation Street Spoilers – Latest Cast Member To Depart

“I’m so thankful to Iain [MacLeod, producer] and everyone at Coronation Street, I owe everything to them and I will miss them greatly.” 

Fallon is the latest major cast member who has announced a departure from the soap. However, she made it clear she decided to leave nearly a year ago. Her departure is no way linked or caused by anyone who’s working on the show.

Fallon took on the role after actress Katie Redford was dropped from the part even before she got the chance to tape her scenes. She made her first appearance on screen in 2015. Her impeccable performance as Bethany Platt has earned her several accolades.

Brookes explained that her decision to leave was mainly because of her desire to “explore new opportunities.” She also emphasized her character “needs a break.”
