Carla Connor Attacked After Rejection from Lisa Swain

Just as she picks up her phone to call the police, she’s struck over the head and collapses.

Could this attack be the push Lisa needs to change her mind about Carla? And will the truth about the attacker come out before it’s too late? Alison King hinted, “This storyline is a real test of Carla’s strength, but it also shows just how deep her feelings for Lisa run.”
