CORONATION STREET STARS CAIT FITTON AND SYDNEY MARTIN HAVE REVEALED ALL ON THEIR GROWING FRIENDSHIP ON AND OFF SCREEN, WHILE THEIR CHARACTERS WEREN'T INITIALLY MEANT TO BE PAIRED 14:23,
03 Jun 2025Updated 15:11, 03 Jun 2025 There's more "drama" and "fun" in store for Coronation Street's Lauren Bolton and Betsy Swain, as their blossoming
friendship leads to plenty of chaos. But the stars playing them have their own budding friendship away from the ITV soap, with actresses Cait Fitton and Sydney Martin praising each other,
saying it feels like they were "separated at birth". Speaking exclusively to The Mirror at the British Soap Awards, the fan favourites shared all on what it's like filming
together, and getting to play friends on the show, while being close in real life. In fact the dynamic duo told us the twist with Lauren and Betsy becoming pals almost didn't happen,
and could have gone a different direction. Luckily for the girls soap boss Kate Brooks gave it a try and soon fell in love with the friendship formed in scenes. Of course the characters have
had the odd fight in some classic soap drama, and there's more chaos ahead it seems. But Cait and Sydney told us viewers would get to see the bond onscreen grow, with Lauren and son
Frankie going to very much be a part of the family dynamic with Betsy, mum Lisa Swain, stepmother Carla Connor and their loved ones. READ MORE: Coronation Street spoilers for next week:
Devastating funeral, surprise return and shock arrest Sydney told us of what's ahead for the duo: "A little bit of drama," with Cait agreeing: "We have, there's
always drama." Sydney confessed she often overshared when it came to spoilers, but Cait told us: "I feel like we overshare on our own but when wer'e together we're
alright, so you've got us at a good time." Article continues below Sydney added there was "drama and a bit of fun" on the cards, with Cait promising "lots of
fun" for the duo onscreen. Sydney shared how they often go to the director with some ideas hoping for some "funny" scenes, while they both agreed tomato ketchup possibly
wasn't the best idea after Cait stained Sydney's hair with the condiment during a scene with Roy Cropper. But asides the hilarity, there's also plenty more plots on the way
for both characters and we will see them grow closer as pals. Cait shared: "I think to come you'll see changes for both of them but also a genuine friendship. "They are very
different but also similar. As soon as I found out I was working with Sydney I was like yes! People are gonna like me now!" Cait had nothing but praise for her friend too, and the
feeling was mutual. Cait said: "I love working with her it's amazing. She has such an amazing aura about her and I learn a lot form her." Sydney gushed back: "Likewise,
she's there for me all the time," commenting on their "forever" friendship, with Cait adding they always say they were "separated at birth" Cait also revealed
that the stuff with Lauren and Betsy almost didn't happen. Corrie boss Kate added it into an episode as a trial run not knowing what to expect, but soon it proved to be a hit and Kate
"loved it". Article continues below Now the girls are working on a joint name, with Cait coming up with Team Bauren which Sydney backed, as did we. The girls promised the drama and
friendship for the pair would be ongoing, as Sydney commented on the "growing" family dynamic between Betsy and those closest to her. CORONATION STREET AIRS MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS
