Coronation Street: Carla and Lisa’s Wedding Dreams Shattered as Becky Returns from the Dead
A fairy-tale romance has crumbled in Coronation Street, as what should have been a perfect wedding for Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) collapses under the weight of deceit, heartbreak, and one jaw-dropping twist — Lisa’s wife, Becky (Amy Cudden), isn’t dead after all.
A Love Story Undone by a Ghost from the Past
When Lisa first proposed to Carla in September, fans were thrilled to see the couple heading toward happiness. Their chemistry, resilience, and devotion seemed unshakable — until Becky’s shocking reappearance upended everything.
Believed dead for years, Becky has returned to Weatherfield with a plan. Corrie producer Kate Brooks teased that Becky is “clever, wily, and knows exactly how to manipulate a situation,” adding, “She’s got her sights set on getting that family back.”
While Carla has been away in Ireland, Becky has wasted no time slipping back into Lisa and Betsy’s (Sydney Martin) lives. And when Carla finally returns home, she’s horrified to discover Becky has been staying at Number 6 in her absence.
Jealousy, Betrayal, and a Cruel Discovery
Lisa insists nothing happened, but Carla’s trust begins to crack when she finds a video of Lisa and Becky modelling Betsy’s clothing designs together. Humiliated, she storms out of the Halloween party in fury.
Becky seizes the opportunity to stir the pot. Playing the song from her and Lisa’s wedding, she reminds Lisa of the vows they once shared — a move that sends emotional shockwaves through the family.
Carla warns Becky to stay away, but Becky twists the knife, telling her that Lisa will always love her first. “You can see it in her face,” she taunts. “She’s not over me.”
The Law Blocks Carla and Lisa’s Future
Lisa’s heart remains torn, but the situation turns even more complicated when she visits lawyer Costello (Daon Broni). She begs him to find a legal loophole that would allow her to marry Carla while Becky is still alive.
His answer is devastating — if Lisa and Carla go through with the wedding, they’ll be committing bigamy. The only solution, he says, is for Becky to disappear again and “go back to being dead” in Spain.
When Lisa breaks the news to Carla, the confrontation turns explosive. Carla accuses Lisa of using the situation as an excuse to keep Becky in her life. Their argument leaves both women broken, and even Betsy begins to wonder if her mother still harbors feelings for her former wife.
A Wedding in Ruins and Hearts in Pieces
With their marriage plans in tatters, Carla’s insecurities prove justified. As producer Kate Brooks hinted, “Carla has every right to be wary of this woman. There are loads of exciting things to come — Becky’s quite a badass.”
As the triangle intensifies, viewers can expect power plays, emotional manipulation, and heartbreak on all sides. Becky’s resurrection has destroyed Carla and Lisa’s dream wedding — and it might just destroy them both in the process.
