Carla Connor and Lisa Swain have finally secured their wedding date, and for once, it looks like their future is steady. After months of chaos, heartbreak and danger, the Coronation Street favourites appear ready to celebrate their love this spring. But just as calm settles over Weatherfield, a new “curveball” is teased for the couple. Now fans are asking the same question. What exactly is about to hit Carla and Lisa?
Carla And Lisa Face A Fresh Curveball But What Is It?
Carla and Lisa were only recently reunited after Becky Swain’s dramatic return tore them apart. Becky stunned everyone when she walked back into Weatherfield in September last year despite being believed to have been killed in the line of duty.
Her shock comeback came just days after Lisa and Carla got engaged, and she immediately tried to dismantle their happiness. Becky pushed hard to win Lisa back and even persuaded her and their daughter, Betsy Swain, to consider leaving the country together.
The situation spiralled when Becky kidnapped Carla and locked her in a storage container. During Corrie’s January crossover with Emmerdale, Carla joined forces with DC Kit Green to uncover the truth about Becky. Becky’s attempt to flee ended in a horrific car crash.
Lisa and Betsy survived. Becky survived too and now serves a 12 year prison sentence. With that chapter closed, Carla surprised Lisa by booking their wedding at the Chariot Square Hotel. For the first time in months, their relationship seemed to move forward without interference.
Could Lisa’s Family Be The Real Surprise?
Many viewers believe the curveball could centre on Lisa’s past rather than the wedding logistics. One fan suggested it might involve Lisa’s estranged family turning up unexpectedly, with a revelation that she has not spoken to them for years because Becky isolated her from them.
Another viewer said they really need the curveball to be Lisa’s sister or parents showing up and imagined Carla reacting in frustration, asking how many surprise family members Lisa was expecting. Others feel the timing would make sense. With Becky now behind bars, Lisa’s relatives may finally feel free to step back into her life.
One fan openly wondered what would happen if Lisa’s parents appeared out of the blue. They added that they would like to see Lisa’s mother or sister arrive after reading that Becky, who slowly isolated a younger Lisa from her family, is now in prison. If the curveball involves family members reconnecting, it could force Lisa to confront emotional wounds she has buried for years. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
