Schemes, heartbreak, and buried secrets — Lisa may be blind, but the viewers are not

The Villain in Their Bed

Coronation Street fans have long suspected that Becky Swain is more dangerous than she appears — and now, the woman who knows her best is finally starting to question everything.

After faking her death and reappearing like a ghost from the past, Becky (Amy Cudden) slithered her way into the lives of her ex-wife Lisa Swain and Lisa’s fiancée Carla Connor. What started as emotional chaos has spiraled into something much darker, and actress Vicky Myers—who plays Lisa—has now teased that Becky’s downfall might be closer than we think.

Love Triangle or Web of Control?

Becky’s return initially shocked Lisa into emotional paralysis. Torn between her past and present, Lisa opened her home—and her heart—to the woman she once buried. But as the days passed, Becky’s agenda became clearer: divide, isolate, and conquer.

Earlier this week, Becky played the victim again, claiming she’d been threatened by DI Costello. The timing? Suspiciously convenient. Her emotional manipulation worked. Lisa and Carla allowed her to stay.

By Friday’s episode, Carla had reached her breaking point. Feeling constantly undermined and pushed aside, she walked away — leaving Becky exactly where she wanted to be: alone with Lisa.

“She’s So Confused, So Broken”

Speaking to media outlets, Myers revealed Lisa is emotionally shattered.

“At this point, she’s numb. She loves Carla. She has love for Becky. She doesn’t trust herself anymore.”

While Lisa remains unaware of Becky’s full crimes, including the brutal off-screen assault on DI Costello, small doubts have begun to creep in. And according to Myers, Betsy—Lisa’s daughter—is central to every decision.

“Lisa’s terrified of breaking Betsy’s heart again,” Myers explained. “She lost Becky once. Losing her again could crush her.”

Blinded by Love… But Not for Long?

Asked directly if Lisa suspects the true scale of Becky’s manipulation, Myers was candid:

“No. Not at all. Lisa lived with Becky for 20 years. They had a child. She would never imagine Becky could be dangerous.”

But danger doesn’t need to wear a mask when it’s wearing a familiar face.

The Fall Is Coming…

Myers admits she’s eager for the explosive scenes ahead—when Lisa finally learns the truth.

“Everyone loves it when the villain gets what’s coming. And Amy is playing Becky brilliantly. She’s so subtle. So creepy. But it’s time for consequences.”

With Lisa spiraling, Carla walking away, and DI Costello recovering from the attack Becky helped orchestrate, a reckoning is coming. And when it does, it won’t just affect Becky—it could tear apart the Swain family forever.
