No, Lucy Fallon hasn’t just leaked a massive Coronation Street spoiler | Soaps

You have to be careful what you share with eagled-eyed Coronation Street fans. They can spread rumours quicker than Norris Cole, as actress Lucy Fallon recently discovered.

The soap star, who plays Weatherfield A-lister Bethany Platt, recently got into a spot of bother when a simple Instagram story posted from the Corrie set seemed to give away a whopper of a spoiler about an upcoming story.

Bethany’s mum Sarah (Tina O’Brien) is currently locked up in prison for the murder of bully and domestic abuser Theo Silverton (James Cartwright).

After weeks of staying silent, it finally transpired that Sarah had pushed Theo to his death after being confronted by the monster on the roof. She was arrested in front of Bethany and the rest of her horrified family by DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers).

Now that poor old Sarah’s banged up, fans have been speculating whether this is the exit story for Weatherfield’s girl-next-door after 23 years in the show.

Some fans found it a little bit hard to believe that Corrie bosses would ever part with a legacy character like Sarah, especially for a toe-rag like Theo, and immediately called shenanigans – including this humble author.

But it seemed like we were all wrong as Sarah’s spell behind bars began to look a lot like a swansong.

Then, yesterday, Lucy Fallon dropped a gigantic spoiler… or did she?

(Spoiler – She didn’t)

All the poor woman did was share a simple selfie with Tina O’Brien on the set of Coronation Street.

This smiley snap was apparently enough to make certain corners of the Corrie online fandom melt down.

‘Guess ar (sic) Sarah Lou gets out then x’ posted one user in response to the pic. Lucy Fallon – spoiling future corrie storylines since 2025′

Meow.

This is no doubt a reference to another time Lucy definitely didn’t post a spoiler. Back in October 2025, the soap superstar had to quash rumours that she leaked the entrance of bunny-boiling baddie Becky Swain after a selfie in her dressing room captured actress Amy Cudden’s name on a mirror.

Lucy was quick to set the record straight in an interview with the Sun.

‘Oh my god, yeah. Someone tagged me in a social post saying, ‘Lucy Fallon comes back after having a baby and leaks the biggest storyline in Corrie’

‘I was like, ‘What the hell are they talking about? What have I done?’ But honestly, nobody would have known what character that name belonged to – it wasn’t even a spoiler at that point.’

Right. And neither was this.

But that didn’t stop the fans being eager for tea as they all replied to the comment, hoping for some juicy goss.

‘Lucy Fallon what else can you tell us’ posted one tea-eager fan with a crying emoji.

‘Sarah was never going to get done for it! X’ another Corriephile insisted.

‘What’s she spoilt this time around?’ demanded another.

Nothing, of course.

Fortunately some fans saw the fake news for what it is and settled the matter with a key detail about Corrie’s set.

‘tbf the prison set is only opposite there, above the cafe…’

This means that Sarah could well still remain in the slammer for the long haul, as another fan pointed out.

‘She’s just taking a photo with Tina… they might not be in character yet lol’
