Coronation Street: Fans Predict Kate Connor’s Return to Take Down Becky Swain
Coronation Street fans believe they’ve uncovered the next major twist in the ongoing Becky Swain drama — and it could mean the return of a much-loved Weatherfield legend, Kate Connor.
Becky Swain’s Dangerous Comeback
Since her shocking reappearance earlier this year, Becky Swain (Amy Cudden) has thrown chaos into the lives of her wife Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) and Lisa’s fiancée Carla Connor (Alison King).
Becky was presumed dead after being hit by a fleeing criminal in 2021. But in a dramatic reveal, she returned to Weatherfield alive, claiming she had “died” to enter witness protection after a botched undercover police operation.
Now, Becky is determined to reclaim her old life — including Lisa and their daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) — no matter who gets in her way.
Becky Crosses the Line
Last week’s explosive Halloween episode saw Becky take her manipulation to new heights. During the Rovers’ costume party, she stunned onlookers by kissing Lisa — right under Carla’s nose.
The shocking move left Lisa torn and Carla furious. Meanwhile, corrupt DI Costello (Daon Broni) warned Becky to flee back to Spain before things spiral further out of control. But Becky made her intentions clear: she isn’t leaving without her family.
“She’s got that dangerous mix of charm and desperation,” one fan wrote on social media. “Becky won’t stop until she destroys everything Carla and Lisa have built.”
Fans Predict a Legendary Return
As tensions rise, Corrie fans have begun speculating about who could step in to protect Carla — and many are convinced the answer lies in Kate Connor’s comeback.
On a popular Coronation Street Facebook page, one fan posted:
“They should bring back Kate Connor! I’m sure she would help Carla take down Becky.”
Another replied, “Ooo yes, I loved her — and maybe she could return for Carla’s wedding too!”
Kate, played by Faye Brooks, was last seen in 2019 when she left Weatherfield following the tragic death of her fiancée Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia). Her fiery loyalty and bond with Carla make her a natural ally in this brewing war against Becky.
Adding fuel to the theory, Faye Brooks previously teased a possible return, telling The Sun in 2021:
“Well, I’m not dead. I didn’t die! Rana, my on-screen lady lover, died. I went travelling — I don’t know where I am! Hopefully I’ll get to go back one day.”
Could Kate Be Carla’s Secret Weapon?
With the Corrie–Emmerdale crossover and Carla’s upcoming wedding storyline looming, the timing for Kate’s return couldn’t be more perfect. Viewers suspect she could be written back in just as Becky’s manipulations reach a deadly climax — giving Carla the backup she desperately needs.
Whether it’s revenge, redemption, or reunion, fans are convinced one thing’s certain: Becky Swain has finally met her match.
