Carla Connor has been on edge ever since Becky Swain walked back in Coronation Street. Becky’s shocking return has unsettled Lisa, shaken the family, and left Carla doubting every word of her story. Becky may claim she disappeared for safety, but Carla is convinced there’s more to it and she’s now edging closer to answers that could turn everything upside down.
Becky’s Return Shakes the Family
Lisa Swain was left stunned when Becky showed up alive, after years of believing she had died in the line of duty. Becky explained that she had actually been living in Spain under another name, hidden in witness protection after an undercover operation went wrong. Her cover story was that she vanished to protect Lisa and their daughter Betsy.
But Lisa was furious, pointing out that Becky’s decision to infiltrate a dangerous gang had put all of them at risk in the first place. Carla soon found herself caught in the fallout. She came home one day to see Lisa introducing her to the wife she thought was dead. Shocked and overwhelmed, Carla struggled with Becky’s presence, especially as Lisa stormed out, leaving the situation even more tense.
Since then, Becky’s return has weighed heavily on Carla. Though she and Lisa have respected Betsy’s wish to spend time with her other mum, Becky’s behaviour has often left Carla feeling pushed aside. During a family lunch, Becky even took pleasure in winding her up, highlighting the strain in the household.
Suspicious, Carla turned to Kit Green at the station. She asked him to dig into Becky’s old case, insisting that something didn’t add up. If the gang was still dangerous, why would Becky risk returning to Lisa and Betsy now?
Carla Thinks She Has an Ally in Coronation Street
Kit admitted that he also had doubts about Becky. He told Carla that if they could track down DI Crawley, who once worked with Becky and his boss Costello, they might finally get some answers. For a brief moment, Carla felt she had someone on her side. But Kit’s support didn’t last. Costello had overheard their conversation and later tempted Kit with an offer that was too good to refuse, a promotion.
If Kit stayed quiet, he would soon find himself moving up the ladder as Detective Sergeant. Kit agreed, leaving Carla completely blindsided. What she thought was a new alliance had crumbled in an instant, and now she was back on her own. The only lead she has left is the mysterious DI Crawley, but with Costello watching closely, the danger is only getting worse.
More Drama Ahead in Coronation Street
Carla’s determination to expose the truth has put her in a difficult spot, but she isn’t the only one caught up in this tangled mess. Lisa is still struggling with Becky’s return, torn between anger, confusion, and long-buried emotions.
Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa, admitted she was nervous when she first learned about Becky’s comeback. She said that at first she thought, “Oh no!” but later realised the story gave her the chance to explore Lisa and Becky’s relationship in more depth.
She added that she didn’t know how it would all end, but it felt like a story worth telling. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and updates.
