Coronation Street fans are clamouring for a legend's comeback in a plot twist involving Betsy Swain. The troublemaker, played by Sydney Martin, has been at the heart of a number of key storylines.
After she first appeared on the famous cobbles last year as the daughter of DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), she was left heartbroken when her boyfriend, Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan), met a tragic end.
Her grief was compounded when she was shot in a terrifying incident. A harrowing episode showed Rob Donovan (Marc Bayliss) taking Lisa, Tracy (Kate Ford), and Carla Connor (Alison King) hostage, leading to Betsy being shot and losing feeling in her arm.
This injury has greatly affected Betsy, and this week she sought retribution on Tracy. After stealing her flower van with Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), she inadvertently crashed it.

But her trouble doesn't end there. It was also revealed that Betsy had begun to regain sensation in her arm but chose to keep it secret, exaggerating her injury for sympathy, according to Leicestershire Live.

However, in Wednesday's episode of the ITV soap (April 30), Carla caught Betsy using her arm and exposed her deception in front of her mother.
Now Coronation Street fans are abuzz on social media, pondering whether an old favourite might come back to Weatherfield to sort out Betsy's latest shenanigans.

Members of a Coronation Street Facebook group have been vocal about the character's recent behaviour, with one fan lamenting: "Betsy is really annoying me! Becoming a right madam, hopefully someone puts her right soon."
Speculation among fans includes calls for the return of Carla's former stepson, Simon Barlow, portrayed by Alex Bain. One fan asserted: "Bring Simon back! He would have Carla's back."
Eager discussions continue, as another fan shares their expectation: "Yesss, I've been thinking for a while he's probably due a return."

Others echo this sentiment, with another fan suggesting, "She definitely needs straightening out, and maybe he would be the best option for her."
Simon, played by Chris Gascoyne's real-life son Peter Barlow, was last seen in 2024 when he decided to join his father working on a yacht following Peter's departure on Boxing Day.
Coronation Street is available to watch on ITVX.

Stephanie Davis splits with partner days before Father's Day in latest heartbreak
The actress welcomed her second child just five months ago. Coronation Street actress Stephanie Davis split with her partner Joseph McKalroy ahead of Father's Day. The pair welcomed their son, Samuel back in January after being together for three years. And today to mark Father's Day, Steph shared a photo of her own father with a heartfelt caption, thanking him for helping with her two sons Caben and Samuel, adding "there aren't many men like you", and made no mention of Joseph. Fans took to the comments of her heartfelt post and asked: "Where's Joe?" while another said: "I think they have split up". A third agreed, saying: "I think so too as they both had each others name on their bios with a heart, which they don't anymore. It's such a shame if they have as they were a gorgeous little family!" Back in January, when Joe and Stephanie became parents to their son, Samuel, the proud dad penned the caption of an Instagram post, sharing a snap of his baby son, which read: "Welcome to the world my beautiful baby boy Samuel McKalroy. "Named after your uncle the one and only who will always weigh heavy on my heart I wish so much that he could've met you and cherished you as much as I do. "It has been a traumatic experience but you are finally here in our arms. I never thought I could possibly love your mummy anymore than I already do but this is just so special and an unconditional love I cannot explain with words. "I love you more than you will ever know". Stephanie, who shares seven-year-old son Caben with former CBB star Jeremy McConnell, responded: 'Sobbing reading this my heart. I love you more than anything in this world. I couldn't love you more I'm so blessed to have you as a daddy to our boys xx. You carried me though that, it was so tough. I love you more than you will ever know xxxxxxxx." In 2022, Stephanie revealed she had suffered a devastating miscarriage three months into her pregnancy, heartbreakingly sharing she woke up one morning and 'didn't feel pregnant anymore'. Admitting that she and Joe were "heartbroken", she said: "The anxiety, the heartbreak and the sadness we have gone through was horrendous. Me and Joe were so excited and already had visioned and planned a life with our family of four. "I was already looking at what I was doing for my baby shower. You think when you get further on like I was that everything will be ok, so it was a big shock." Before meeting Joe, the actress had a turbulent romance with Irish model, Jeremy, after they met on Celebrity Big Brother. Jeremy was found guilty of assaulting his then ex-girlfriend Stephanie in 2017. McConnell, then 27, attacked Miss Davis at her home in Rainhill, Merseyside while she was holding their baby son, Liverpool Magistrates' Court heard. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
