It feels like things at No.6 are getting more intense by the day in Coronation Street, and Carla Connor’s sudden return has everyone wondering what she’s really up to. Viewers can sense something big is building around Becky Swain, but the clues aren’t lining up in a way anyone expected.
The Calm Before the Storm?
Carla showed up at No.6 again, and Lisa honestly thought it meant they were getting another chance to talk things out. But Carla shut that idea down straight away, saying she simply refused to keep paying for a hotel and that this was still her home. What Lisa didn’t realise is that Carla came back with a plan already in motion.
Instead of trying to patch things up, Carla has teamed up with DC Kit Green. The two of them are working together behind the scenes, trying to get close enough to Becky to figure out what she’s hiding.
Kit even warned Carla to be careful with how she moves around Becky, but Carla told him she couldn’t wait for the moment Becky finally loses that smug grin she’s been wearing. We also saw Carla watching Lisa and Becky decorating for Christmas, which made everything sting even more for her. And fans picked up on Kit’s reaction too; he actually looked pleased when Carla walked back through that door, almost as if he thought she could help him finally make sense of everything.
The Brown Phone That Could Ruin Everything
Now, this is the part viewers won’t stop talking about: Costello’s brown-case burner phone. Becky has it tucked away, and fans are convinced that this phone is the key to blowing everything open. Kit already knows Costello’s corrupt, but he has no idea Becky has not one but both of Costello’s phones. And those phones are full of messages that could tie Becky into the whole mess. People on X have been buzzing nonstop.
One viewer said the brown phone is “the key to everything,” imagining Carla spotting it somewhere in the house and quietly slipping it into her pocket so Kit can decode the messages over Christmas. Another fan said Becky’s downfall is definitely “looming” and that they’re just as eager as Carla to watch it all catch up to her. Meanwhile, Carla is playing the long game. She’s angry, she’s hurt, and she’s fully motivated to get Becky out of the picture. She and Kit make a surprisingly solid team, and fans love it.
Even though the tension’s rising, spoilers say Becky will still be walking around freely as Christmas gets closer. That’s why viewers are trying to figure out when the big moment will actually land. Will Carla come across the burner phone before Becky realises she’s slipping up? And will Kit finally be able to connect all the dots once he sees those messages? Right now, everything feels like it’s inching toward one huge confrontation. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for every new twist, reveal, and spoiler coming out of Coronation Street.
