CS: Lucy Fallon/ Bethany Platt
It may be a HUGELY unpopular opinion on here but I'm going to give it anyway!!
Whether you love the character or loathe her Lucy Fallon is playing Bethany superbly!! She may not look 15 but boy does she act it well!! Brash, arrogant, "I know everything & I can take on anybody" attitude hiding the fact that she really knows nothing & was bricking it tonght when the coppers raided the pub, then back to the swagger again when she got away with it!! Life one big adventure with boring people trying to spoil the fun with real life!! Say what you like but for me it was Lucy Fallon, along with Joe Duttine as Tim who carried what would otherwise have been two very poor episodes tonight!! I can easily understand why Bethany's character annoys the crap out of people, cos that type of teenager can be irritating beyond belief!! She needs life to kick her a few times & bring her down a peg or two.... but not yet!! She's kind of fun as she is for the moment, & certainly good entertainment value!! |

Well said NotDD! She plays a moody teen extremely well. Also love Joe as Tim. He has great comic timing. Love how his face lights up when he sees baby Miley.

I think Lucy Fallon is extremely talented with a huge future ahead of her. I just don't think she's right for Bethany, either as a 15 year old or the daughter of Sarah-Lou. If I was an ITV executive I'd kill Bethany off and sign Fallon to an exclusive deal. Maybe a sitcom could be built around her. In five years or so I could easily see her as the lead in a TV or film version of Nick Hornby's wonderful book Funny Girl.

I'm not quite sure about Lucy's acting yet but I am starting to enjoy Bethany. It's ridiculous what she gets away with and Sarah's parenting is abysmal, but Bethany is quite entertaining and I find her charismatic in a way. She's cheeky and kinda funny, rather than the usual shrieky, screechy horror of soap teens. I'd far, far rather Bethany than ****ing Simon...

She's a great actress, plays the character perfectly.
I can't see her wanting to hang around Corrie for too long though. |

From what I have seen her acting is horrendous, probably one of the worst in Corrie right now.

Ditto from me. Bethany, Sarah and Callum were wrongly cast.
If there was an award for Worst Soap Actor, these three would have to share it. Bethany's eye rolling, Sarah's smirking as if she's in a school play and Callum's faux gangsta, cannot abide any of them. |

Totally agree with both these posts.

I do think the actress is good, but I find the character so damn annoying; I just wanna slap her into next week!
![]() I guess the writers/actress are doing their job in making me feel that way, though. |

I think Lucy is a great actress, she plays the hard-done-by and moody teenager really well and remember this is her first acting job, give her a bloody chance.
Really like Bethany, she has great wit and brings some spark to the show. Much better than the other dreary teens like Faye, Simon etc. |

I do think the actress is quite good, but is being told by the writers / director to act over the top, would like to see her do something serious for a change instead of just being a cheeky brat all the time.

In the most recent scenes she has looked OLDER than the actress who plays her mother, Sarah. Around 30 at least.. |

I wonder what the other girl would have been like in the role.
The one who was sacked for lying her about her age. Bit of a joke that anyway, because they still hired a 24 year old to play a 14 year old. Pathetic. |

To be fair I've only seen bits of her in the background as I don't watch the show anymore but my god she's one of the absolute worst I've ever seen. Ild take that granny they had to sack back to play her any day! She could always improve though

I missed last night's but caught a bit this morning where the Dog was raided. Bethany was played brilliantly. I like her a lot. She's believable as a teen who looks beyond her years with her face made up. I think when Callum reveals what he's up to she'll change but only a bit. I think when that happens we'll see the last of Callum. I wish people would stop with the "Callum gangster" stuff as he's not meant to be one. He's a small time drug dealer which the actor plays well. He's not a big fish or anything and isn't meant to be one. He seems to have forgotten about Max and just wants revenge on David and Kylie. This will be his downfall.

It's more the storyline that the characters are in at the moment than Lucy's acting that I have a problem with- I think she's good at acting actually.
I was looking forward to it when the announcement came that the pair would be returning but so far all they've done is get involved with Callum and his 'dangerous' gang. |

I do have to agree.
To be honest out of this storyline at present, it is Sarah who annoys the crap out of me. And does she have to always have that smug almost smirking look on her face? When Callum disrespected her mother she didn't seem too fussed. I really hope Sarah buggers off after this story is over, but it's doubtful. |

I agree, her acting is dreadful. But the fact she is trying she pass as 15 years old is really stupid.
In the most recent scenes she has looked OLDER than the actress who plays her mother, Sarah. Around 30 at least.. ) but I still think the problem is more with Sarah than it is with Bethany!! Personally I have no problem with Bethany's looks, she looks what she's supposed to be...a teen trying to make herself look older by caking on loads of make up!! I don't even have s problem eith Sarah looking the same age... again a 30+ woman, especially one with a teenage daughter is likely to want to keep her youthful looks!! No, the big problem I have is with Sarah's attitude in general!! She left in 2007 an immature, childlike creature herself but then we are led to believe she held down a responsible job whilst bringing up Bethany almost single handedly...fine, a real wake up call, guaranteed to make her toughen up, grow up & emerge as a capable & confident young woman by the time she needs to return to Weatherfield 7 years later!! Erm, ok so what went wrong??? ![]() To really make this work Sarah needed to have matured while she was away, not regressed into an even more childish, selfish & irresponsible creature than she was before she left !! |
