Becky Swain’s return has already left viewers stunned in Coronation Street, but it’s DI Costello who now finds himself at the centre of the drama. His involvement in her story is proving to be more complicated than it first seemed, and it’s about to cause even more problems.
Costello’s Choices Come to Light
When Lisa Swain began digging into her wife’s supposed death, it quickly became clear that her boss wasn’t telling the whole truth. Costello warned DC Kit Green to stay out of his business, and even brought in a fake ‘Tia Wardley’ to keep Lisa from getting too close. The twist came last week when it was revealed that Becky was never dead at all. She had gone into hiding after an undercover job went wrong, and Costello had covered for her.
By wrongly identifying another woman’s body as Becky’s, he gave her the chance to escape the criminal gang chasing her. His actions may have saved Becky, but they left Lisa grieving for years over something that wasn’t true. Now that Becky is back in Weatherfield, Costello’s choices are under the spotlight. What he thought was protection is starting to look like betrayal, and both Lisa and Becky are caught in the middle of it.
Coronation Street: The Complicated Connection
Amy Cudden, who plays Becky, said viewers have only seen the beginning of Becky and Costello’s relationship. She explained that there is much more going on beneath the surface, and that it will be interesting to watch the truth slowly come out. She added that working with Daon Bruni, who plays Costello, brings even more depth to the story and makes the drama stronger.
Next week, Costello warns Becky that they could both end up in prison if anyone finds out the truth. He wants her to stay hidden, but she refuses, determined to see her daughter Betsy no matter the risk. At the same time, Lisa reaches breaking point. She storms into the station and demands to know everything about her wife’s fake death. When Costello refuses to give her answers, she threatens to go public, leaving him trapped and under pressure.
The big question now is whether Costello will finally admit everything or try to keep the truth buried. He may have believed he was protecting Becky, but his decisions have left lasting damage, and the consequences are closing in on him. Costello’s role is messy and complicated, and it’s clear that the more he tries to control the situation, the more it slips away from him.
