But it appears Bethany is now set to make a return to Coronation Street, with Fallon spotted on the set of the ITV soap.
The 29-year-old posted a photo on Instagram of her in her dressing room, according to The Sun, with the caption: "And just like that she's back."
The photo now appears to have been taken down.
A Coronation Street spokesperson, speaking to The Sun, confirmed that Fallon would be back filming over summer following maternity leave, "as always planned", and Bethany would make her onscreen return in October.
Fallon has played the role of Bethany since 2015. She quit the show back in 2020, before returning in December 2023.
But it appears fans aren't overly thrilled about Fallon's return to Coronation Street, with users on Reddit group r/coronationstreet saying "what's the point" in bringing Bethany back.
One person, posting on the Reddit group, said: "Such a useless character."
Another added: "Ah gawd no, not again."
While a third Coronation Street fan commented: "What's the point in her even returning?"
Other fans have guessed what storyline Bethany will walk back into when she returns to the cobbles.
One posted: "Shoe horned into any story that doesn't really affect her."
This fan said: "Daniel will probably say she's the one and a mum to Bertie before she steps foot off the tram."

Bianca Censori shows off her jaw-dropping figure in skimpy white lingerie in sexy snaps taken by husband Kanye West
Bianca Censori looked incredible in a new drop of sexy snaps taken by her husband and controversial rapper Kanye West and shared to her Instagram. The Australian architect, 30, showed off her jaw-dropping figure in white lace lingerie while posing in her hotel room in Japan in shots taken in October last year. The defiant post comes as West denied shocking allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking made by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. Days after the fierce rebuttal, Censori showed off her ample assets and tiny waist as she posed in the sheer bra and matching thong-style knickers. She boosted her petite frame with a pair of stilettos and wore her blonde locks in a bouncy blown out style, which covered her pretty features. One sizzling shot saw her crawling across the plush cream carpet on her hands and knees in a very seductive fashion. Revealing that it was her husband behind the lens, she wrote in the caption: 'Japan October 2024 shot by @ye.' A recent similar shoot taken at the same time saw Censori share another set of photos from the private shoot. Cesori has been sharing the polaroid snaps to her social media page. Last week, she gave fans another glimpse at her enviable figure with three more snaps. In one of the photos she was pictured on her knees leaning backwards while wearing a sheer tube top and pulling down her stockings with one hand. Another one of the retro style snaps featured her seemingly naked from the side, wearing high heels, with one of her legs extended in the air. A third image showed Bianca in a shaggy blonde wig and straddling the carpet while shooting a seductive glance at the camera with a hand placed in her mouth. 'Shot by @ye,' she captioned all three of the images. The couple have been caught up in reports that West's former assistant Lauren Pisciotta has filed a sexual assault case against him. On Sunday, a Yeezy spokesperson issued a statement to criticizing the rapper's former employee's amended complaint against him, which they point out is the 'the fourth version she has advanced.' 'Each new revision contradicts the others; each is more absurd and outlandish than all previous claims combined,' the Yeezy rep insisted. 'Does Ms. Pisciotta actually believe her confabulations? We cannot know. But this breathless new installment of fantasy fiction discredits all past, present and future testimony.' The spokesperson continued: 'We stand ready to annihilate Ms. Pisciotta's tall tales before a jury—an exoneration so inevitable that even she, lost in her fog of fantasy, must surely see it coming.' Yeezy representative Milo Yiannopoulos also addressed the matter, highlighting 'the absurdity of Pisciotta's quadruply revised claims, which now include kidnapping, battery, rape, false imprisonment and even sex trafficking.' 'She picked the one rapper who loathes violence, has never been arrested, and doesn't even own a gun,' Yiannopoulos claimed. In response to the statements above, Pisciotta's attorney, Lisa Bloom, told 'While Kanye West's publicist has come up with a slickly worded (and outrageously false and defamatory) attack on Ms. Pisciotta, Kanye himself has publicly admitted much of what she's claiming.' 'Kanye's publicist is deafeningly silent on Kanye's own admissions, which will destroy him in court. We look forward to seeing him there, where he cannot hide behind a high priced spin team,' Bloom concluded. The response on West's behalf come just days after Pisciotta accused the father-of-four of sexually harassing and assaulting her on multiple occasions. In her amended complaint, filed earlier this week, Pisciotta accused her former boss of forcing 'his penis into her mouth' during a business trip in San Francisco. The oral rape allegedly occurred not long after she began working for Ye in July 2021. She alleged that he attempted to kiss her on the lips, more than once, despite her repeatedly rejecting his advances, which she insists she told him were 'not professional.' After participating in a writing session for his album, Donda, the complaint alleges that West invited Pisciotta to his hotel suite to discuss the record. When she arrived, Pisciotta alleges in the complaint 'Ye abruptly laid down in his bed and insisted that Ms. Pisciotta lay beside him.' She proceeded to 'reluctantly' sit next to him in bed as her then-boss praised her work and shared how he could 'propel' her success in the music industry, according to the complaint. The conversation quickly turned south, she claims, as he began speaking in graphic detail about an unnamed model's genitals and described his sexual encounters with other women. Pisciotta claims in the complaint that West attempted to kiss her again, but that she 'continued to deflect his advances.' She then claimed he began to ask her questions about her vagina, such as 'What's it like?', 'Can I touch it?', and 'I just wanna see what it's like.' According to the complaint, despite her reminding him his behavior was not professional, Pisciotta alleges West 'stroked his penis over his pants with one hand and forcibly touched her vagina with the other hand.' 'Ms. Pisciotta immediately told Ye to stop. Ye soon fell asleep mid-sentence,' the complaint reads. 'Ms. Pisciotta left the room once Ye fell asleep.' During that same stay in San Francisco, Pisciotta claims West went to her hotel room and demanded to use her shower. After cracking the door open, Pisciotta says in the complaint that her former boss 'pushed the door open and proceeded directly into the bathroom.' When he reemerged, she claims in the complaint he was only wearing a 'towel covering the lower half of his body' and approached her while she was sitting in a chair. She claims 'Ye dropped the towel from his waist to expose his penis,' removed her from the chair she was sitting in, and pushed her onto the bed, so that she was pinned against its pillows and headboard. Pisciotta says he used his 'body to pin and restrain' her and restricted her from leaving the bed, before thrusting his penis repeatedly into her mouth, according to the complaint. 'As Ms. Pisciotta frantically pled for Ye to stop, Ye forced his penis into her mouth. Ms. Pisciotta froze in shock and fear but continued to plead with Ye and beg him,' according to the legal documents. After the alleged rape, she alleges he apologized and left. When she confronted him about the sexual assault, she said in the complaint he gave her what she thought was 'a sincere apology' and agreed to continue working for him. Still, she insists in the court record he never stopped his sexually inappropriate behavior and harassment. She claims he detailed sexual fantasies about her, demanded she send him explicit material including topless and nude photographs, constantly remarked on her body and even allegedly called her while engaging in sexual acts with another woman. Other shocking claims in the second amended complaint included that he offered someone the opportunity to have sex with her and that he 'constantly told her that 'he wanted to have sex with her and how he thought about her while he had sex with other women.' She also says he offered 'one million dollars in exchange for her deleting her OnlyFans account, from which Ms. Pisciotta earned approximately one million dollars over the course of eight months.' After deleting her account, Pisciotta claims in the court paper that West refused to pay the 'agreed-upon amount' and quickly lost her substantial OnlyFans following. During her employment, she alleged he interrogated her about her love life, the last time she had sex, how large her partners' penises were and if she would be 'open to engaging in threesomes with her partners, his partners, and other women Ye found on various social media platforms.' After terminating her in fall of 2023, she claims he 'grabbed' her neck and 'squeezed his hand around her throat, restricting her airflow' after running into each other at a concert, according to the complaint. 'With his hand still around her neck, Ye pulled Ms. Pisciotta's face towards his, inserted his tongue in her ear, and licked her ear repeatedly, causing it to become wet with his saliva. Ms. Pisciotta recoiled in horror and quickly walked away,' her complaint says. Pisciotta claims West went on to move into Ms. Pisciotta's same apartment complex, which caused her 'significant anxiety and distress.' She said in the complaint while he lived there he would walk past her place in a 'conspicuous manner' and even 'stationed his security team at various points of the complex.' Pisciotta alleged this pushed her to relocate to 'Florida as a means of escaping Ye.' Following her move, she claims he hired an individual who offered 'swatting' services for purchase, to 'swat' her. Pisciotta, who began working for Ye in 2021 as a music talent scout (A&R) for his Donda album, originally sued West in 2024. While working as his personal assistant and Chief of Staff, she handled his music, fashion ventures (like YEEZY), property management, and schedule. During this time, she claimed in the complaint that he controlled her life and made her ask for permission to shower or take breaks. Additionally, she alleged he verbally abused her, especially in front of male colleagues, demanded 'hugs' where he would press himself against her and spoke about monitoring her social media to masturbate to her photos. She also accused him of assaulting her in 2015 while she blacked out at a studio session. She believes she was drugged and has no memory of the evening, according to the court document. Another disturbing allegation involves a flight to a fashion show. She claims in the complaint that he locked her in a room and masturbated in front of her, until someone from the outside was able to open the door as she 'cried into her lap.' West previously denied Pisciotta's other allegations made in her initial June 2024 complaint. In his initial legal response to her prior claims, West's companies issued a blanket denial of all allegations made by Pisciotta — including her claims of sexual assault. In response to Pisciotta's original lawsuit, West's lawyer called the claims 'baseless' and announced plans to countersue. In her new, second amended complaint, Pisciotta lays out a sweeping list of allegations, including sexual harassment and a hostile work environment, assault, battery, sexual battery, sex trafficking, stalking, false imprisonment, gender discrimination, promissory estoppel, failure to prevent harassment, discrimination and retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Pisciotta's lawyer confirmed to Daily Mail that the second amended complaint was mailed to West. In a statement to Pisciotta's attorney, Lisa Bloom, wrote: 'We are pleased that the judge granted our request to file an amended complaint against Mr. West in the sexual harassment, assault and battery case we are litigating against him in California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles.' 'In a series of recent tweets, Mr. West calls himself 'a walking me too' (we agree) and corroborated many of our client's claims by proclaiming, 'If a CEO don't hug you inappropriately he's a f@gg*t' and 'Life is about using your position to f*k the baddest b!**hes possible' and other disgusting and offensive posts,' she continued. Bloom concluded: 'Every woman deserves a respectful workplace free of groping and sexual harassment. We look forward to aggressively litigating this case on behalf of our brave client, Lauren Piscotta.'

This Morning fans fume 'I've had to switch off, it's absolutely pathetic!' after TikTok WITCHES take over studio - and blast ITV for 'taking the show to rock bottom'
This Morning fans fumed 'I've had to switch off' after TikTok witches took over the studio. Thursday's instalment of the ITV show saw co-hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard sit down with three women who identified as witches. Mother and daughter duo Emma Griffin and Holly Kenyon, as well as Katy Whyte opened up about their lives as professional witches. All three post about their magical activities on TikTok and Emma explained: 'I think because the word 'witch' people are scared of it because of the movies, and I think now people are looking at it as a form of wellness and good for their emotions and inner calmness. 'It's really beautiful to see younger generations, especially Holly's age stepping into witchcraft and sharing their magic.' Holly had been brought up surrounded by witchcraft as both her mother and grandmother practised. Emma revealed that 'anyone can be a witch' and Katy opened up about how she was interested in it from being young. Katy said: 'For me, when I was a teenager, I was drawn to it, I would end up in the witchy shops. 'I was completely in the closet, all my books hidden from my parents because I was really embarrassed by it because back then it wasn't on social media so this is why I think it's so lovely now.' She revealed she was interested in 'the cycles of nature' and the moon. While Holly explained: 'I've been doing it since my earliest memory is 7 years old, I used to make potions from my mums stuff in the bathroom and carried it on from there.' As for those who are more cynical to witchcraft, Holly said: 'I look at it as a way of it's a lifestyle and it's a beautiful way to connect to nature and it's embracing slow living and going back to what our ancestors gave us.' However, the witches were not well received by some viewers who took to social media to share their thoughts. One posted on X: 'FFS! ...I am lost for words . ..Witches #ThisMorning.' However, the witches were not well received by some viewers who took to social media to share their thoughts Another added: 'This is so ridiculous and mind numbing, had to switch off, absolutely pathetic! #ThisMorning.' Someone else raged: 'It's the segment of talking b*****s tra la la la la la la la la la #Thismorning.' 'Producers seeing how far down they can take this programme,' another posted, alongside an image of a hole in the ground. While one watcher said: 'Witches eh? More believeable than mermaids I suppose. #thismorning.' On a more positive note, Cat Deeley's chic River Island outfit went down a treat with fans, who praised it as looking 'much more expensive than it is.'

Laura Anderson celebrates one year anniversary as she praises 'role model' to Bonnie
Laura Anderson and partner Clark Robertson spent some time in St Andrews together to mark the milestone in their relationship. Laura Anderson was all smiles as she marked a huge milestone in her new relationship. The Scots influencer, 36, gushed over her partner Clark as they celebrated their one year anniversary. The pair spent quality time together in St Andrews, which Laura admitted she's never visited before. They enjoyed a luxury meal at The Seafood Ristorante, washed down with a glass of white wine and a beer for Dundee footballer Clark Robertson. " Celebrating our 1 year anniversary," Laura captioned the string of snaps alongside a blue heart emoji. She continued, "Our love story is like no other, most of which we do not share.

Love always your wee f****r X" Laura shares daughter Bonnie with her ex partner Gary Lucy. In a shocking revelation recently, Laura admitted that Gary hasn't seen his daughter once this year. She also confessed that he doesn't pay any child maintenance towards Bonnie, and he makes no contact. The former Love Island star spoke candidly about the subject during a Q&A with fans on her Instagram page, after revealing she was getting "fed up" with the questions surrounding Gary's involvement in Bonnie's life. Laura claims she never addressed the issue before as she was doing nothing other than "protecting" Gary from the public backlash, but came to terms with the fact people should know the full picture. Baby Bonnie was ten months old when Laura and Clark met. The Scots influencer candidly opened up on how her new boyfriend is becoming slowly more "hands on" with Bonnie, and spent some quality time alone with her for the first time a few weeks ago. Responding to another fan who quizzed Laura on boyfriend Clarke's role in her daughter Bonnie's life, she was asked if she sees the Dundee footballer as a stepfather to her only child. "Hmm she calls him Cack aka Clark, I wouldn't introduce him as Bonnie's stepdad not atm anyway," Laura stated recently. "Everything still feels weirdly quite new even though we're celebrating our one year anniversary this month. "He also has children so we need to be mindful of everyones needs and feelings. I hope one day our families will be blended that would be the dream, but life is never simple." Touching on when the pair first met, Laura reminisced: "He messaged me three years ago and I saw it by chance and replied lol. We've been together ever since. Clark loves that story," she laughed.
