Lisa Swain’s grief over losing her wife Becky in the line of duty has shaped every part of her life in Coronation Street. And while recent revelations about Becky’s past have reopened old wounds, behind-the-scenes photos from an upcoming shoot suggest Lisa’s emotional journey is far from over.
The Past Never Stays Buried in Weatherfield
Lisa Swain has had to pick up the pieces after a traumatic loss that shaped her entire family’s trajectory. Her wife, Becky Swain, tragically died in 2021 after being struck by a car during a robbery while on duty as a police officer. Since then, Lisa and her daughter Betsy have carried the emotional scars.
But those wounds have been reopened in recent episodes, particularly after shocking revelations surrounding Becky’s death came to light. Betsy, still grieving her mother, recently learned that Becky had been under investigation for corruption before the fatal incident. What’s more, the idea that Becky’s death might have involved more people than originally thought has made Lisa even more guarded.
New Set Photos Hint at a Stunning Comeback
Now, a new twist has fans come up with theories. Photos from a recent location shoot surfaced online, showing Alison King and Vicky Myers deep in emotional scenes but what caught everyone’s attention was the mysterious figure lurking in the background.
Several viewers quickly honed in on a person in a khaki coat who appeared in more than one shot. Fans couldn’t help but point out the uncanny possibility that this could be none other than Becky Swain, very much alive.
One fan on social media insisted, “I KNEW and have been saying Becky is still alive and in witness protection or something… the fact they’re hiding the identity of the khaki coat woman…” They predicted that Swarla could be heading for an engagement, only to be thrown into chaos by Becky’s shocking return.
Another theorised a dramatic park meeting might have been planned between Lisa and Becky. The fan suggested Lisa could have backed out at the last minute, overwhelmed. And Carla, sensing something was off, may have rushed to support her.
What Happens If Becky Really Is Back In Coronation Street?
If the theory proves true, the impact on Lisa, Carla, and Betsy would be huge. Lisa, who has mourned her wife for years and is now trying to move on, would face an emotional storm. Carla, meanwhile, would be caught between supporting her partner and protecting herself from heartbreak.
Betsy, already wrestling over her mum’s legacy, would have to deal with a return she never expected. So far, the show has kept the identity of the figure under wraps, leaving fans to speculate. But if Coronation Street is gearing up for this, viewers might witness one of the most dramatic comebacks.
