‘Don’t do it!’ Lucy Fallon’s decision to quit Coronation Street did not go down well with her mother
‘As a mum she probably worries that I won’t work again!’
‘I think it was mainly because Corrie was my first job and I’ve not done anything else.’

‘I’ve had loads of amazing storylines and [leaving] was now or never; I didn’t want to get to a point where I looked back and wished I’d tried other things.

Lucy revealed: ‘Mum wasn’t very pleased,’ she said. ‘Mum said: “I thought, no don’t go!”‘
‘I’m going to miss everyone. It’s like a family.’
Of her Corrie swan song, she went on: ‘I am going to miss everyone. I love the Platts and this [storyline] with Daniel.’
Of the plot, she teased: ‘Daniel isn’t over Sinead and she wanted to see what happens but she has an opportunity.
‘Daniel kind of found that Bethany fills that void that Sinead left. He’s helped with her writing course and helped her get the internship and she’s been a shoulder for him too.

Moving on: ‘I’ve had loads of amazing storylines and [leaving] was now or never; I didn’t want to get to a point where I looked back and wished I’d tried other things,’ she explained
‘It’s critical because we don’t know if Bethany’s going to say yes and whether she’ll leave alone or with Daniel.’
Bethany went on to add of her last day on the soap, and her future beyond it: ‘It was nice having everyone there on my last day.
‘I’m auditioning at the moment. The beauty is because I’ve only done Corrie I’m open to everything.’
Lucy recently admitted she was ‘too scared’ to leave her dressing room for the first six months of her Coronation Street career.
Goodbye: In January, Lucy bid an emotional farewell to the soap after filming her final scenes as Bethany with her colleagues and was even joined by her family on the Manchester set

She said: ‘I had no idea what direction life was going to take me in. I didn’t get into the drama schools I’d applied for.
‘I auditioned for ‘Corrie’, but somebody else was offered the part of Bethany first and then I ended up getting it. I was 19 and it took me six months to come out of my dressing room – I was too scared to speak to anyone.
‘Never in a million years back then did I think I’d end up calling Gail Platt a friend!’
