Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien appears to have 'confirmed' Lucy Fallon's return to the cobbles with a telling message after her birthday. The actress celebrated her 40th earlier this week and her former on-screen daughter was among those to publicly send her birthday wishes.
Lucy, who played Bethany Platt in the ITV soap from 2015 to 2020, shared a cheeky picture to her Instagram Story of the pair seemingly at a hen do as they wore rude novelty hats.
Lucy and Tina could be seen laughing with one another in their pyjamas. Alongside the image, Lucy typed on her Instagram Story: "Happy Birthday to the queen! @tinaob83. Love you oh so much," before Sarah Barlow - nee Platt - actress Tina reshared the post with her own followers.

Lucy's post came as rumours have started to swirl about her return to Weatherfield. The actress, 27, is said to be heading back to the ITV studios in the coming weeks to film brand new scenes but it is expected that Lucy’s new scenes won’t air until the new year, the Mirror reports.
Back in 2021, the Blackpool native herself hinted that she wouldn’t say no to returning to the soap. She said: "Never say never. I didn’t leave for a particular reason or because I didn’t like it. I left because I wanted to go down different avenues."
And while she has made one on-screen appearance in ITVX period drama Tom Jones, more has changed for Lucy personally since she last stepped foot on the cobbles. She has been in a relationship with footballer Ryan Ledson since 2020 and the loved-up pair welcomed their first child, a son named Sonny, in January this year.
While Coronation Street hasn't confirmed her return yet,
