Bethany Britney Platt is a fictional character in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street. She was born on screen during the episode broadcast on 4 June 2000. She was played by Mia Cookson in 2000 and by twins Amy and Emily Walton from 2000 until 30 December 2007, when the character of Bethany departed. The character of Bethany was reintroduced and recast in 2015 with Lucy Fallon taking over the role and Bethany made her return on screen on 20 March 2015.
Bethany is the daughter of Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) and her classmate Neil Fearns (Paul Holowaty), half-sister of Billy and Harry Platt, granddaughter of Gail Platt (Helen Worth) and great-granddaughter of Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls). Bethany's storylines have included her taking ecstasy tablets when her uncle, David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) hid them in a toy. Bethany departed with Weatherfield with her mother Sarah for a new life in Milan. Her return storyline saw her running away from home in Milan back to Weatherfield, and since then her storylines have included her infatuation with Callum Logan (Sean Ward) as well as being caught up with her family's feud with Callum, being the victim of bullying, developing a crush on her mother's boyfriend Gary Windass (Mikey North), and being involved in a sexual exploitation storyline.
