Coronation Street’s Carla Faces Exit as Becky’s Return Threatens ‘Swarla’ Future
Carla and Lisa’s Love Tested Once Again
Just when it seemed peace had finally arrived for Carla Connor and DS Lisa Swain, Coronation Street has thrown the couple into chaos once more. After surviving kidney transplants, kidnappings, and even sepsis, Carla and Lisa’s relationship appeared stronger than ever. But Weatherfield is never kind for long, and the shocking return of Lisa’s ex-wife, Becky, has reignited old wounds and new dangers.
Once believed dead after a hit-and-run, Becky made a jaw-dropping comeback on her daughter Betsy’s 18th birthday. Her story? She’d been living in Spain under witness protection after an undercover mission went disastrously wrong. A woman’s death had allowed her superior, DI Costello, to fake her demise so she could disappear.
A Family Torn Between Truth and Loyalty
Lisa’s world crumbled as she faced the woman she’d mourned for years. Becky’s explanation didn’t ease the betrayal, though she softened Betsy’s anger with a heartbreaking collection of birthday cards written over the years she’d been gone.
Carla, however, wasn’t so easily moved. Suspicious of Becky’s motives and the danger she might bring, she turned to Kit Green for help uncovering the truth. But when Kit accepted a promotion from DI Costello, Carla was left isolated and desperate for answers.
Her friendship with Roy Cropper became strained after he uncovered parts of Becky’s secret, while Ryan Connor’s warning — “You can trust Lisa, but not Becky” — echoed in her mind.
A Trip That Could Change Everything
Next week, Carla prepares for a trip to Ireland, but her nerves begin to fray. Doubts creep in, and fans are left wondering whether leaving Weatherfield is the right move.
Amy Cudden, who plays Becky, teased what’s to come: “If you combine Lisa’s old habit of loving Becky with Becky’s obsession to reclaim her family, it’s a real threat. But we’re talking about Carla Connor — she’s tough. What we get is this electric tension between two determined women fighting for the same love.”
Carla eventually leaves for Ireland, unaware that Becky’s presence is tearing apart everything she holds dear.
Trouble on the Horizon for ‘Swarla’?
As chaos brews in Weatherfield, questions hang in the air. Will Becky go too far in her mission to win back Lisa and Betsy? Can Carla and Lisa’s love survive the storm? Or is this the beginning of the end for one of Coronation Street’s most beloved couples?
The tension is mounting, and fans are bracing for heartbreak.
