Coronation Street Fans Applaud DI Costello as He Orders Becky Swain to ‘Disappear Again’ — Viewers Say They ‘Couldn’t Agree More’
It was another explosive night on Coronation Street as DI Costello confronted Becky Swain, demanding that she leave Weatherfield for good. The dramatic exchange came after a chaotic chain of events involving Becky, her ex-partner Lisa Swain, and their daughter Betsy, leaving viewers divided — yet firmly on the detective’s side.
Becky’s Shocking Return Still Causing Chaos
Last month, Coronation Street fans were stunned when Becky Swain, long believed to have been murdered four years ago, returned to the cobbles alive and well. Her sudden reappearance threw Lisa’s life into turmoil, especially as their daughter Betsy struggled to process the fact that her supposedly dead mother had been alive and hiding all this time.
While Becky claimed she only wanted to rebuild her family, many fans — and now DI Costello — are questioning her motives.
Family Tension and a Dangerous Ultimatum
Earlier this week, Lisa’s fiancée Carla Connor left for a work trip to Ireland, nervous about leaving Lisa alone with her ex. Her fears proved justified when Lisa and Becky shared a tender moment while helping Betsy with a school project. But things took a turn when Betsy posted a video of her mums online — exposing Becky’s secret return to anyone watching.
Panicking, Becky demanded Betsy delete the post, sparking tension that ended with Betsy getting arrested for resisting police.
That’s when DI Costello stepped in. After questioning Betsy, he met privately with Becky and issued a chilling ultimatum:
“You need to disappear again, soon. If not, DS Swain will have a lot more to worry about than her daughter sitting in a cell for a couple of hours.”
Viewers Rally Behind Costello
Social media erupted in agreement. On X (formerly Twitter), Coronation Street fans were united in their verdict — Becky has overstayed her welcome.
One viewer wrote: “You need to disappear again, soon! I COULDN’T AGREE MORE. Send her back to Alicante, I beg!”
Another added: “Same DI Costello — Becky needs to disappear!!!”
A third fan chimed in: “Costello telling Becky to disappear again — for once, I actually agree with him!”
The reaction was clear: while Becky’s storyline has been gripping, fans feel her time in the Connor-Swain household has brought enough chaos.
Becky’s Shocking Condition
In a tense final twist, Becky agreed to Costello’s demand — but with one shocking condition. She would vanish again and return to Spain, but only if Lisa and Betsy went with her.
As Lisa faces an impossible decision between the life she’s built and the past she can’t escape, the stage is set for heartbreak. Will she follow Becky into hiding, or finally cut ties once and for all?
