Fans of Coronation Street have been left stunned after former stars looked unrecognisable almost two decades on from their on-screen exit. The twin sisters were last seen on the ITV soap 17

years ago. Emily and Amy Walton were tasked with playing the role of Bethany Platt for seven years between 2000 and 2007. The sisters split the time for the role of the youngster, who is

the daughter of Tina O'Brien's character, Sarah Platt. The twin siblings were involved in a number of high-profile storylines during their stint on screen. One such story saw their

character kidnapped by her paternal grandmother. Their time on the show came to an end when Bethany and her mum relocated to Italy in 2007. The duo take a step out of the limelight

following the exit and focused their attention on different career paths. In 2016, Amy secured a place on the Great British trampoline team for the European Championships the following year.

They had competed together in the British Trampoline finals. Article continues below Earlier this year, Emily uploaded an image to Instagram of of her and her sister. The duo looked happy

together as they enjoyed a holiday in Thailand. The caption read: "The last of Thailand," alongside a yellow heart emoji. Despite the sisters leaving the role as Bethany, the

character later returned to the Weatherfield cobbles. Instead of the sisters sharing the role, Lucy Fallon took over proceedings. She took on the role in 2015 and was quickly involved in a

number of nail biting scenes. These included being groomed by Nathan Curtis, who was played by Christopher Harper. She also had to get a stoma bag following a botched surgery. Despite the

character again leaving Corrie in 2019, she returned once more in 2023. Her time off-screen coincided with the birth of her first child. She later announced she was pregnant with child

number two, meaning she was stepping away again. At present, the door has been left open for the star to return, but she has hinted a last exit was for good. In February, Bethany left

Manchester behind to start a new chapter in London after a turbulent year. Determined to leave on her own terms, she asked her mother, Sarah Platt, played by Tina O’Brien, to deliver a note

to her ex, Daniel Osbourne. In the emotional scene, teacher Daniel rushed to Bethany’s flat in a desperate attempt to speak with her, only to be misled and told she had already gone. His

heartbreak was made deeper when Sarah handed him a thank-you card from Bethany. The note read: "Dear Daniel, thank you for showing me your true colours. From Bethany." _LIKE THIS
