Fans of Coronation Street believe that they’ve uncovered a shock return for a beloved star.
ITV soap viewers will know that Betsy Swain (played by Sydney Martin) is involved in a new storyline on the cobbles.
Earlier this week, the youngster was approached by three young men, who asked her to give them a can of beer. When she refused, they began to berate her, with Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) urging her to run away.
This brought back a lot of heartache for Betsy after she notably befriended reformed criminal Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan), who was tragically stabbed to death by his evil brother Logan (Harry Lowbridge).

Later, Betsy emotionally spoke about Mason with Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne). She said: “I keep thinking about Mason.”
Dylan agreed: “Yeah, me too. I can’t believe one of them lads recognised you. I mean, as soon as he came over, it were like Matty and Logan coming up to us all over again.”
Betsy then asked: “Can I be honest?” before adding: “I think about Mason all the time. Sometimes, I can’t stop.”
Dylan noted: “[I’m] always thinking, if I’d never brought that knife…,” before Betsy interjected: “No. He was trying to find out what happened to my mum.”
Dylan told Betsy that what happened to Mason wasn’t her fault, saying: “Mason wanted to do it. That’s what he was like in the end. He was just trying to prove he was nothing like his brothers.”
“Yeah, he didn’t need to prove it to me,” Betsy replied through tears, before Dylan said: “He was trying to prove it to himself. He was always judged for his brothers’ work, and in the end, he had people in his corner. He died knowing he was loved, by you, me, Tim, Stu, Sally. That’d have meant everything to him.”
Now, a number of Corrie fans are convinced that a shock twist could be revealed after the recent Mason mention. Several viewers believe that Mason isn’t really dead and could be in witness protection, possibly leading to an unexpected return.
“Wonder if Mason is going to return for Betsy after hearing her talking about him suddenly? There were rumours he was in witness protection,” one person wrote on a Facebook fan page.

Another added: “Never say never it’s soapland. What if he’s not really dead?” while a third quipped: “That would be a better comeback than Patrick Duffy in Dallas!”
A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: “Yes could do because there was no proper funeral. No mention of his brothers’ court case. I would love him to come back,” with another similarly sharing: “Hmmm there’s supposed to be a storyline coming up that stops her going to fashion college in London so it’s possible.”
