Becky’s Return from the Dead Rocks No.6

Coronation Street viewers are still reeling from the shock return of Becky Swain, Lisa’s wife who was presumed dead for four years. Her reappearance on daughter Betsy’s 18th birthday turned Lisa and Carla’s world upside down.

Becky revealed she had been living in Spain under witness protection after an undercover operation went wrong. While Lisa struggles to process her wife’s deception, Carla Connor has been left feeling increasingly sidelined as Becky weaves her way back into Lisa and Betsy’s lives.

Betsy Caught in the Middle

Despite her initial fury, Betsy softened toward Becky after being given a stack of birthday cards Becky had written during her absence. This emotional gesture shifted the family dynamic, leaving Carla feeling like the outsider in her own home. In Wednesday’s episode, Carla’s unease was clear as she returned to find Becky bonding with Lisa and Betsy in the kitchen.

Carla may have said she understood, but her expression told a very different story.

Is Lisa Playing Becky?

Fans are split over Lisa’s true motives. Some believe she’s secretly trying to expose Becky’s corruption while keeping Carla in the dark, while others fear Lisa is genuinely torn between the two women:

• One fan wrote: “Come on Lisa, I need to believe this is all part of a bigger plan you’re cooking up to take Becky down. Swain family time with Rebecca is a 0/10; WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! #Corrie”

• Another theorised: “Let’s say Lisa is playing Becky, exposing her corruption in the end—but failed to inform Carla. It’s possible Lisa’s plan will backfire terribly.”

• A third added: “I honestly do believe it’s a set up. Lisa needs Carla’s genuine reactions to prove Becky is causing problems.”

But not everyone is convinced. One viewer countered: “Lisa is not playing Becky. She’s already too involved, too comfortable.”

Carla’s Future in Question

Carla fans are especially worried. With her patience wearing thin, speculation is mounting that she may walk away from Lisa altogether.

One viewer suggested: “When Carla writes a note, removes her ring, and leaves it for Lisa to find before hopping on a plane to LA… I wouldn’t blame her. She deserves someone who chooses her.”

Others echoed the sentiment, with one fan adding: “I am so ready for Carla to leave, tell Lisa exactly what she thinks, and go on to live her life happy. Lisa can pine for her.”

What Happens Next?

The big question remains: is Lisa secretly plotting to take Becky down, or has she already lost herself in her ex’s return? Meanwhile, Carla’s heartbreak seems inevitable if things continue down this path.

One thing is certain—this messy love triangle is far from over, and Carla Connor may not be sticking around for the fallout.
