Lisa Swain knows she messed up, and now she’s done sitting around hoping Carla Connor will magically forgive her. After everything Becky Swain put them through, Swarla feels like a love story that’s been ripped apart for good. But in a new Coronation Street spoiler video, Lisa makes her move and it’s clear she’s ready to fight for Carla properly this time.
Lisa Puts Her Feelings on the Line in the New Coronation Street Spoiler Video
The new sneak peek shows Lisa in full “win her back” mode as she plans a lunch invitation for Carla at the Bistro. She isn’t playing it cool either; Lisa wants this to feel special, and she’s banking on a romantic gesture to prove she still means every word she ever said about loving Carla. In the café, Lisa opens up to Lauren Bolton, Roy Cropper, and Nina Lucas about what she’s doing. She tells them she invited Carla to lunch today and says she hasn’t spared any expense.
Lisa also reveals she’s sending Carla a bouquet, clearly hoping flowers and sincerity might soften the wall Carla has built up since their breakup. But even with all that effort, Lisa can’t hide her nerves. She admits she still hasn’t heard back from Carla, and that silence is eating at her. Still, Lisa tries to stay hopeful, saying she reckons she’ll know soon enough whether Carla will show up… or shut the door on them for good.
Lisa’s Big Gesture Comes After Months of Heartbreak and Chaos
Lisa’s attempt to win Carla back doesn’t come out of nowhere; it comes after months of viewers watching her make one awful decision after another, especially when it came to her ex-wife Becky Swain. Fans have been yelling at their screens for ages, because Becky looked like trouble the moment she showed up on the cobbles with “crazy eyes” and that questionable haircut. Even Becky faking her death to escape gangsters should’ve been a massive warning sign.
Instead, she kept scheming and twisting things to drive a wedge between Lisa and Carla. And Lisa still didn’t listen when Carla raised concerns. That’s what made it even more painful when Lisa let Becky move back under her roof and rebuild her bond with Betsy Swain. Carla eventually hit her limit. She’d had enough of being ignored and she packed her bags and walked away. But Carla stayed determined to expose Becky as the woman-stealing sociopath she believed she was, teaming up with Kit Green to bring Becky down.
The Damage Becky Caused and the Betrayal Carla Can’t Forget
Carla’s determination nearly cost her everything. The plan to expose Becky turned into a nightmare when Carla ended up bound and gagged in an airing cupboard, trapped and terrified. And the worst part? Lisa had no idea, because she thought Carla had simply broken up with her and gone abroad. Even after Kit rescued Carla, the danger didn’t end. Becky tried to make a run for it, speeding toward a port to whisk Lisa and Betsy overseas for a fresh start.
Carla and Kit chased after her, but things spiralled into chaos when all five of them got caught up in the Corriedale multi-car pileup. Becky finally got exposed and ended up behind bars, but the real damage had already been done. Carla discovered something that hit her even harder than the kidnapping. Lisa had slept with Becky while Carla was suffering through that horror in the airing cupboard. That revelation shattered whatever trust Carla had left.
Carla didn’t hesitate after that. She told Lisa exactly where to go and called time on Swarla. She made it clear she couldn’t forgive that kind of betrayal. And now, with Lisa standing in the café clutching hope and flowers, will Carla ever believe Lisa’s love is real? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
