The salon assistant – who is played by actress Lucy Fallon in the ITV soap – will be shocked when her old pal reportedly arrives in Weatherfield from Italy where Bethany used to live full of "passion, style and charisma".
According to Wales Online, the hunk, played by Luca Malacrino, is set to cause issues between Bethany and Ryan Connor who have yet to get together despite months of flirting and stop-starts.
He's not the only new hunk arriving on the cobbles over the next few weeks.
Roy Cropper is in for a shock when his former foster son Wayne Hayes returns to the cobbles.
The cafe owner and his late wife Hayley fostered Wayne when he was just a child and Roy hasn't seen him since he was 10 in 2001.
He was a runaway who fled home in 2000 after being beaten by his abusive step-father.
The Croppers took him in after he was caught stealing from the cafe, but he eventually had to return home, leaving Roy and Hayley devastated.
But now it has been revealed he is making a comeback but it won't be good news for Roy or his surrogate daughter Carla Connor.
Now a health and safety inspector, Wayne is going to be instrumental in the upcoming terrible time Carla will have after the shock death in the factory.
A source told the Daily Mirror: "Little Wayne had a really tough time before, but now he’s all grown up and has a decent job. It’ll be interesting to see how he and Roy get along…"
Corrie boss Iain MacLeod promised the identity of the health and safety inspector who probes the upcoming death in the soap would be mysterious.
And now viewers know who it is, it's going to put Roy in a position where he may have to choose between his foster child and the woman he thinks of as a daughter.
The soap boss revealed Carla would face a mental health battle after the killing, which she is blamed for, but isn't responsible for.
He previously told The Sun Online: "The factory collapse will impact massively on Carla’s mental health. We’re doing something stylised on this. It’s like the type of episode we did with Ashley in Emmerdale but not quite as extreme.
"We will do a standalone episode that focuses on Carla and her mental health. It’s going to be a serious piece of drama.
"Everyone will lose their jobs for the time being and Carla feels she’s being blamed. At first they think it’s an accident and people are pointing the finger at her. She spirals into a battle with her mental health.
"Paranoia, yes, but I don’t want to put a label on it. The identity of the health and safety inspector is very interesting."
