Coronation Street shares new clues on Betsy and Dylan’s big story

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street star Sydney Martin has teased more details about Betsy Swain’s coming-of-age storyline, which will follow the teen and her boyfriend Dylan Wilson.

It was recently revealed that Betsy and Dylan will take starring roles in the issue-based plot, with filming taking place this summer.

And now, Sydney has exclusively revealed to Inside Soap that viewers can expect a mixture of emotions to unfold between the young couple.

“Dylan and Betsy have been through a lot together,” she told us. “There’s beautiful moments to come. They’re polar opposites; she’s this ticking time bomb that could go off at any time, and he’s quite grounded and sweet.

“That can create some quite funny scenes, because there’s that natural comedic element of them being so different, but also some beautiful ones. I’m also excited for Liam to get his chance to shine.”

This story marks the first time that Sydney has taken centre stage in a Coronation Street plot, which clearly comes as a huge privilege to her.

“It’s always been great to support my on-screen mums and family, now I get to pave my own way,” smiled the actress, who first appeared on the ITV soap in June 2024. “I’ve been working hard, so I’m really excited for people to see it. It’s going to be a busy summer.”

Meanwhile, Betsy is working part-time as a machinist at stepmum Carla’s factory, Underworld. It’s a dream job for the 18-year-old, who has lofty ambitions to pursue a career in the fashion industry, just like Carla.

“Betsy absolutely adores fashion,” Sydney explained. “I adore working in Underworld, and I love that she wants to take that further. She’s got Carla as a role model and to guide her through it, so I think she’d like to follow in Carla’s footsteps.”
