Carla Connor’s been quietly keeping watch over Lisa Swain lately, and with good reason. Lisa’s had a rough time recently, and tonight’s Coronation Street episode revealed exactly what Carla’s been doing behind the scenes. And yes, it’s something no one saw coming.
Lisa’s Past Comes Crashing Back
After Craig Tinker’s sudden death, Lisa was left shaken. It stirred up old wounds from the time she lost her wife, Becky, memories she’s never really managed to bury. Since then, Lisa’s been struggling to cope. When Brody Michaelis had a seizure while in police custody on her watch, it was the final straw. She got pulled off active duty and put on desk work, with mandatory therapy sessions thrown in.
Therapy didn’t go smoothly. At her first session, just the mention of Becky was enough to unravel her. She’s been stuck in a spiral ever since, haunted by whispers that Becky might’ve been a corrupt officer. That fear that she never really knew the person she loved has been eating away at her. She opened up to Carla, admitting she wasn’t sure she could ever return to full duty. Carla, of course, listened but it turns out, she wasn’t just going to sit back and watch.
Carla’s Plan Gets Exposed in Coronation Street
In the latest episode, we found out exactly what Carla was up to. Michael Bailey borrowed her laptop and spotted something odd, a drafted request to visit Logan Radcliffe in prison. Logan, who’s serving time for killing his own brother Mason, has also been linked, alongside his other brother Matty to Becky’s murder.
Michael was shocked. He reminded Carla of everything Logan had done, including the brutal attack that left her with serious health issues. But Carla stood firm. She told Michael this wasn’t about her, it was about helping Lisa find closure. If speaking to Logan could finally give Lisa some answers, then it was a risk Carla was willing to take. It was a bold decision, and she hadn’t mentioned Lisa at all.
A Shift in Direction
When Carla got back home, things took an unexpected turn. Lisa, looking calmer and more focused than she had in a while, told her she’d decided to stop living in the past. She wanted to concentrate on her future, on getting her life and career back on track.
Carla took that in quietly. Later, she sent Michael a text admitting he was probably right. She said she wasn’t going through with the visit after all. Just like that, she seemed to back away from her plan.
But the weight of what she nearly did still hangs in the air. Carla kept it quiet to protect Lisa, but now that Michael knows, anything could happen if the truth slips out. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for your daily dose of Coronation Street drama and all the latest updates!
