Next week on Coronation Street, Becky Swain makes a split-second decision behind the wheel that sends everything off course. Convinced she’s escaping danger, she speeds away with Lisa and Betsy, but that drive ends up taking two people somewhere they never expected to go, with devastating consequences.
How Becky Got Lisa To Leave With Her
For months, Lisa has been caught in an impossible position. She’s allowed Becky back into her life purely for Betsy’s sake, even though it’s caused deep pain for Carla. Carla has never trusted Becky and has been quick to spot her manipulation, but Lisa has chosen to believe the woman she thought she’d lost for good. Becky takes full advantage of that trust. She carefully creates the impression that the family is being targeted, making the threat feel urgent and unavoidable.
When she stages events to make it look like danger is closing in, Lisa becomes convinced that staying in Weatherfield isn’t safe anymore. Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa, has explained that Lisa’s decisions are driven by one thing alone, keeping Betsy safe.
When it seems like Curtis’ gang has seriously ramped up the threat following the most recent attack, and everything feels more intense, Lisa believes she has to act immediately and get Becky and Betsy out of the country.
The Drive That Was Meant To Save Them
Even though Lisa feels uneasy when Becky insists they all hand over their phones, she goes along with it. At that point, she believes Becky is acting out of fear, not control. Before Lisa can really question what’s happening, Becky is driving them towards the ferry, convinced she’s finally won the battle for Lisa’s heart. What Lisa doesn’t know is crucial. She has no idea that Becky has been holding Carla hostage.
According to Vicky, Lisa has absolutely no understanding of what Becky is capable of, which is why she doesn’t see the danger sitting right next to her. That’s why the phone call changes everything. Lisa hears from the last person she ever expects, Carla. Vicky has said that hearing Carla’s voice brings happiness, relief, and joy. And Lisa doesn’t hide the call from Becky because she has no idea Becky is involved. As Carla explains what’s been happening, Lisa’s reaction is devastating. The tension inside the car explodes after that call.
In the chaos, Becky loses control of the vehicle, triggering a horrific multi-car crash that has deadly consequences. Vicky has described the moment as catastrophic. She said that within a split second, everything changes, and life will never be the same again for many characters.
