Lucy Fallon wants to be given more comedy storylines in ‘Coronation Street’.
The 22-year-old actress – who has portrayed teenager Bethany Platt in the ITV soap since 2015 – agrees with viewers of the show that her alter ego needs to have some "fun" after her harrowing child grooming storyline, which saw Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) sent down on rape and conspiracy to rape charges.
The blonde beauty – who is up for Best Actress at the National Television Awards – told the Daily Star newspaper: "I’d like for Bethany to have a bit of fun.
"I don’t get to play a lot of comedy scenes. It’s all gritty and emotional. I’d love to film scenes with more of the funny characters."
Currently Bethany is working in a strip club after a trip to Milan, Italy, and any sign of happiness seems a long way off as Lucy recently revealed her character is still on the "really long road to recovery" after the horrific ordeal.
She said: "It’s the way she is dealing with it. It’s going to be a really long road to recovery."
Despite the deep and twisted plotline Lucy has acted out over the last few months, she has no plans to leave Weatherfield.
She previously told BANG Showbiz: "I’m hoping to stay on there for a little bit longer. I’m not ready to leave any time soon and hopefully they don’t kill me off or anything so I can stay on there for longer. I love being on there."
