Coronation Street is edging toward a dangerous showdown as tension between Becky Swain and DI Costello reaches a point where something is bound to snap. With new trouble looming next week, the atmosphere in Weatherfield feels charged, and viewers can sense that the situation may spiral in a way no one expects.
Becky And Costello’s Feud Escalates In Alarming Ways
In recent episodes, both Becky and Costello have been firing off threats, creating a volatile back-and-forth that has pulled their families into the danger zone. Costello first crossed the line when he warned Becky that he could have her killed, claiming he had already done the same to Tia Wardley.
Instead of panicking or fleeing to Alicante like he wanted, Becky held her ground and refused to walk away from Weatherfield. She declared that she intended to stay for as long as it took to win her family back. She warned him that if he had a problem with that, then he and his daughter could face the consequences. Her words shocked viewers and firmly established Costello as her No.1 target.
Next week, the tension intensifies further. Becky finds a funeral wreath placed on her doorstep, which sends a clear message. She immediately confronts Costello, convinced he sent it, before heading to the precinct where she covertly photographs a group of teenage girls.
Later, Costello receives a message containing a photo of his own daughter. Not long after, things take a darker turn. Costello fails to show up for work, prompting Kit to investigate. When Kit learns that Costello has been attacked, he immediately points the finger at Becky. He’s certain she has finally acted on the threats she made earlier.
Fans Believe Becky Could Go Even Further
With Costello confirmed to have been attacked and Becky’s earlier threats still echoing, a new Coronation Street fan theory has gained traction online. Viewers fear that this assault might only be the beginning and that Becky could potentially take the Weatherfield DI’s life.
One viewer shared, saying they hoped Lisa would see what was happening before things went too far for Costello. They added that after this attack, they genuinely believed Becky might end up murdering him. More fans begin to consider how far Becky might go, especially after threatening both Costello and his daughter.
The big question remains: is Becky actually responsible, or is someone else lurking in the shadows with their own motives? For now, all the show confirms is that Becky vowed to “stop at nothing” to get her way. Kit’s immediate decision to blame Becky could ignite even more trouble, especially if she feels cornered.
