O'Brien debuted in the role in 1999, taking over from child actor Lynsay King, and had a number of high profile storylines during her first stint on the soap, which ended in 2008.
Daughter to Gail (Helen Worth) and sister to David (Jack P Shepherd), Sarah Platt is deeply embedded in Coronation Street history, so the report of her contract's renewal by The Sun won't come as a great surprise to viewers.
"Tina had a very difficult 2025 so bosses wanted to reassure her that there was nothing to worry about where her job was concerned," an unnamed source told the tabloid, referring to the death of O'Brien's father in November.
Those changes include cast exits and a schedule shake-up to be implemented this month, which will see Emmerdale and Coronation Street brought together in an ITV 'power hour' to begin with a special Corriedale crossover.
The source concluded: "[O'Brien] is very much adored on set and her character has got some big things coming up this year."
