Lisa Swain’s wedding is just around the corner, but one detail has left viewers confused. When exactly did she divorce Becky? The show has moved quickly toward the big day, yet this important moment did not get much attention on screen. Fans are now trying to figure out if they missed it or if it happened off screen.
The Divorce Happened Recently In Coronation Street
Lisa and Becky are officially divorced, but the show did not highlight it clearly. Viewers who followed closely say the decree absolute came through sometime last week, though no exact date was confirmed.
Some believe it happened around Wednesday or Thursday. One fan pointed out that it seemed to be the same day Jodie took Lisa’s card, which helps place the timing.
Even then, the show did not clearly spell it out, so many viewers missed it. The show also did not explain the reason behind the divorce.
This has confused viewers even more. Considering everything Becky has done, some find it hard to believe she would agree to end the marriage so easily.
The Law Made The Process Straightforward
The quick divorce can be explained by current laws in England and Wales. Couples no longer need to prove fault. If the marriage has broken down and lasted more than a year, one person can file for divorce on their own. This means Becky did not have to agree or even respond for the process to go through. Lisa could move ahead without any delays, even if Becky refused to cooperate.
Some viewers are not fully comfortable with this. Becky’s past actions, including kidnapping Lisa’s new fiancée, make it feel unfair to some that fault does not matter in cases like this. Becky’s past adds another layer to the situation. At one point, everyone believed she was dead after she disappeared and hid in Spain for four years. Lisa even had a fake death certificate to support that belief.
That twist makes the timeline harder to follow. Viewers are still trying to understand how everything got resolved legally after such an unusual situation. Even though the divorce is complete, many viewers still have questions about how everything happened behind the scenes. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers and updates.
