A love story ends in tears as secrets, suspicion, and one woman’s betrayal tear the couple apart

Love Declared, Hearts Broken

Just weeks ago, Coronation Street fans believed Carla Connor and Lisa Swain were headed for forever. Now, that dream has collapsed in the most painful way possible — and it’s all thanks to the manipulative force of one woman: Becky Swain.

In emotionally raw scenes, Carla and Lisa finally confess their love for each other — only for Lisa to deliver the final blow: “It’s too late.”

The break-up has sent shockwaves through the fandom, marking one of the most devastating LGBTQ+ storylines in recent Corrie history.

Becky’s Poisoned Return

Becky’s return from the dead was always going to be explosive. But few expected the emotional wreckage she would leave in her wake. After faking her death and fleeing to Spain during a failed undercover mission, Becky reemerged with one goal: to win Lisa back.

Lisa, who had begun healing with Carla’s support, suddenly found herself dragged into a storm of unresolved feelings. Carla, seeing Becky’s manipulations clearly, pleaded with Lisa to shut her sister out — but the tension only grew.

Eventually, Carla couldn’t take it anymore. She walked away from Lisa — a decision she now deeply regrets.

Carla’s Spiral and a Surprise Visit

In upcoming episodes, Kit Green grows increasingly concerned about Carla’s state of mind. After witnessing her drinking heavily in the factory, Kit urges Becky to tell Lisa that Carla isn’t coping. But instead of passing on the message, Becky seizes the opportunity for control.

She shows up at the factory herself, watching as Carla drowns her sorrows — alone.

Later, Carla confronts Lisa at No.6, tearfully admitting she made a mistake. She declares that she’s come home — and that she never stopped loving her.

Lisa, clearly moved, admits she still loves Carla too. But the moment ends in heartbreak: “It’s over,” she says. Carla is left shattered.

Costello, Ravensgill, and New Suspicions

But this love story isn’t the only storm brewing. As Lisa reels from the break-up, Kit starts digging into Becky’s past — and he doesn’t like what he finds.

When Costello’s wife casually mentions their plan to retire to the Lakes in September, something doesn’t add up. Kit becomes suspicious — especially after learning the house they bought, named Ravensgill, was purchased by a shell company created exactly one week after Becky supposedly died.

Kit shares his suspicions with Carla, but in her grief, she’s reluctant to chase shadows. Still, Kit isn’t letting go. He’s convinced that Becky and Costello are working together — and that something much darker is going on beneath the surface.
