Christmas is getting closer in Coronation Street, and while everyone hopes for a peaceful time, something feels off. Carla’s sudden silence has people worried, and Becky Swain looks unusually pleased with how things are falling into place. She wants a perfect family moment with Lisa but a few things start to make that dream harder to hold onto.
Becky Thinks Everything Is Finally Going Her Way
With Carla nowhere around, Becky keeps pulling Lisa closer. She wants to leave Weatherfield with Lisa and Betsy before anyone figures out what she’s been doing behind the scenes. A Corrie source said Becky may not have behaved well recently, but she feels as if everything she wished for is happening.
The source added that Becky believes her plans are working and that she has Lisa exactly where she wants her. Still, the insider hinted that Lisa could start asking questions once she hears something worrying about Carla.

Then Becky receives the update she hoped wouldn’t come: Costello is getting better and will soon be moved to a rehab clinic. She hides her worry, steals Lisa’s police badge, and wheels Costello away herself. No one knows whether she has stopped him for good or if she plans to use him again. Meanwhile, Lisa gets a message from Carla asking her to take her name off the mortgage. It hurts even more when photos appear online showing Carla enjoying cocktails somewhere sunny, making it seem like their relationship is already fading away.
The Truth Starts To Look Different
Seeing Lisa upset, Becky steps in. She suggests that Lisa stop thinking about Carla for now and try to enjoy Christmas. She gives Lisa a massage and then leans in for a kiss, hoping it will help her take the next step toward a reunion. But Lisa’s heart pulls her in another direction. She messages Carla privately and says she would do anything to win her back.

Becky tries to enjoy her cosy Christmas moment, but Lisa soon gets some unsettling news: Carla never checked into the hotel where she was supposed to stay in Lanzarote. The update leaves Lisa uneasy, and she starts wondering if something might be wrong. A production insider shared that Becky’s plans are beginning to slip. Kit wants answers about Costello, and Lisa has stopped agreeing so easily to Becky’s idea of going to Spain. With things getting harder, Becky decides she needs to act quickly.
To keep Lisa on her side, Becky creates a frightening situation and says their family is in danger. She insists they must go to Spain right away. Once Lisa and Betsy agree, Becky tells them to switch off their phones and leave them behind, and the three get ready to head toward the ferry. Lisa makes one last attempt to contact Carla but gets no reply. Feeling heartbroken, she asks Sarah Barlow to return her engagement ring to Carla for her. Now everyone is left wondering whether Becky has finally separated the couple for good. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street stories.
