EXCLUSIVE: Coronation Street stars Lucy Fallon and Tina O’Brien appear to have ruled out a big Christmas theory linked to their characters Bethany and Sarah Platt.

Two Coronation Street stars appear to have ruled themselves out of being in this year’s Christmas Day episode.

With that, it could rule out a major twist fans had predicted just weeks ago. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror recently, cast members Lucy Fallon and Tina O’Brien shared very little about the festive period on Corrie.

But while their answers were brief, they could have been rather telling. Fans have been predicting that Christmas Day will see the moment Lucy’s pregnant character Bethany Platt finds her big secret rumbled.

She’d hiding the fact that she slept with her mum’s partner Kit Green, and is now pregnant. Fans thought Kit’s on/off partner and Bethany’s mother Sarah Platt, played by Tina, would find out the betrayal on Christmas Day.

But the actresses have now told the Mirror that they actually will not appear in this year’s Christmas episodes. While they did laugh as they spoke so it could be a big bluff, they appeared to be in the dark about what’s on the cards this year.

Admitting they didn’t know anything, they claimed they won’t be in the episodes, which seems to rule out Christmas Day being the moment Sarah finds out Bethany’s baby secret and that Kit has slept with her daughter. Asked if they could tease Christmas on Corrie, Lucy told us: “I don’t know actually.”

Tina added: “I don’t know, we’re a bit out of the loop at the moment.” Lucy then said: “We’re clearly not involved, it’s not us. I don’t think we’re in it.”

Tina replied: “Yeah, we’re not in it.” The pair then laughed, so could they be teasing, or are Bethany and Sarah really not part of the episodes?

It comes after a recent episode of the podcast On The Sofa, hosted by Corrie stars Jack P Shepherd and Ben Price, saw the pair tell co-host Colson Smith about Christmas on the show. Fans listening claimed that in the episode, the pair teased it would be a classic Christmas.

They added details included the Bistro being shut on the day, while Christmas would be spent there for some characters. They didn’t give away who, but implied it was of significance.

With a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, with Bethany’s baby secret, fans had wondered if this is the moment the truth comes out. One fan suggested they had seen a behind-the-scenes recently from filming that suggested Ryan Connor was involved.

Fans know that Ryan’s love interest Bethany is pregnant with Kit’s baby. Posting online, one fan theorised: “Last Monday, Jack (David) & Ben (Nick) revealed to Colson (aka Craig) on their podcast that they filmed Christmas Day and it’s the classic ‘Christmas in the Bistro, Nick closes it and then it’s who’s there’

“So I bet that’s when Sarah & Ryan find out about Bethany & Kit’s one night stand & Kit being the dad of Bethany’s baby.” A fan then replied: “Yep sounds on the money that theory.” A third fan commented: “I feel based on recent interview and drama potential of the ticking time bomb of Bethany pregnancy that Bethany will continue the pregnancy.

“I can see the big paternity reveal happening at either Christmas or after baby is born at a Christening at big public revelation like at Lily christening it was discovered David was behind Nick car ‘accident’.”

During this weeks new episode of The Kardashians, Khloe and her mum Kris Jenner, recalled a wild night years ago when Lamar was at the height of his debilitating drug addiction.

They told how they received secret intel about where Lamar was hunkering down for night and decided to track him down.

Kris admitted: “We were going to extract him from the situation because he was being held hostage by these hookers.”

The mum and daughter duo revealed Khloe’s security burst into his hotel room to find Lamar engaging in a group sex act with “20 people.”

Khloe begged everyone to leave the room while Kris confiscated any drugs she found and threw them into the bin.

Lamar and Khloe tied the knot in 2009 and the pair finalised their divorce in 2016.

She supported him through his addiction issues and even put their legal separation on hold to help him recover from a near-fatal drug overdose in 2015.

Lamar suffered six heart attacks and 12 strokes in 2015 and was in a coma for three days, later requiring months of rehabilitation.

Khloe has since “sworn off men” and has confessed she is happy single.

In previous episodes of the show, Khloe has expressed that if she was to settle down again she would like “a man of god” who is “successful in his own right.”
