Coronation Street Fans ‘Rumble’ Lisa Swain’s Secret Plan to Expose ‘Evil’ Becky — and They’re Convinced She’s No Fool
Coronation Street viewers believe they’ve uncovered Lisa Swain’s secret strategy as tension mounts between the detective sergeant and her manipulative ex, Becky. Fans are convinced Lisa is quietly playing the long game — and that she’s far smarter than Becky realises.
Becky’s Return From the Dead Turns Lisa’s World Upside Down
The drama began when Becky, Lisa’s former wife who was presumed dead, made a shocking return to Weatherfield last month. Lisa and her daughter, Betsy, had spent four years mourning her, believing she’d died in the line of duty. But Becky’s reappearance on Betsy’s 18th birthday revealed a disturbing truth — she’d been living in Spain under a new identity as part of a witness protection scheme gone wrong.
The reunion left Lisa torn between relief and suspicion. And while Becky appeared to want her family back, fans quickly sensed something sinister behind her charm.
Becky’s Control Deepens — and Carla Grows Concerned
Since Becky’s return, her presence has been unsettling everyone around her, particularly Carla Connor, who’s grown uneasy about leaving Lisa alone with her unpredictable ex. Carla’s instincts appear to be spot on — as Friday’s episode revealed Becky scheming behind closed doors.
When Betsy was arrested after accidentally leaking Becky’s identity online, Becky was confronted by DI Costello, who demanded she return to Spain. Instead, Becky threatened him, blackmailing him into helping her convince Lisa and Betsy to leave Weatherfield with her.
What Becky doesn’t know, however, is that Lisa may already be several steps ahead.
Fans Are Convinced Lisa Is Secretly Working With Kit
Sharp-eyed viewers noticed a curious exchange between Lisa and DC Kit Green, and they believe it wasn’t random at all. Many think Lisa is secretly collaborating with Kit to expose both Becky and Costello.
On social media, fans pieced the clues together:
-
@Fake_TV_Chef wrote, “That Lisa and Kit scene was so random… unless they’re working on something together.”
-
@JuneGhafur added, “He’s going to help Lisa bring them down. I hope so.”
-
@swoosh286 suggested, “Lisa’s letting Kit do the digging on Costello while she works on Becky. The mug of tea scene was symbolic — him feeding her info, saying ‘we’ve got this.’”
-
@KeeleyTown52229 concluded, “Lisa isn’t being played. She knows Becky’s dangerous and she’s keeping her close to get the truth. She’s doing this for Carla and Betsy.”
It’s a theory that makes perfect sense — Lisa’s no rookie. As a detective sergeant, she’s unlikely to fall for Becky’s manipulations without a reason.
A Dangerous Game — and Lisa’s Ultimate Test
If the fan theories are right, Lisa is playing a risky but brilliant game. By letting Becky believe she’s winning her over, she’s gathering evidence — and perhaps luring her ex into a trap.
But with Becky’s volatile nature and Costello’s threats closing in, Lisa’s secret plan could come at a high price. As one fan put it, “Lisa’s no fool — but she’s walking a tightrope, and one wrong move could blow everything up.”
