Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers)’s relationship is going from strength to strength on Coronation Street – but could Lisa’s daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) be about to derail things for the couple?
Carla has been really supportive of Lisa as she’s been going through therapy after making a mistake at work. Lisa has been dealing with a lot of emotions over her late wife, Becky, who died in violent circumstances while working as a police officer.
Becky was under investigation for corruption when she died, and Lisa has been determined to get to the bottom of what happened to her wife.
Lisa started to wonder during therapy that maybe Becky had actually been corrupt and went snooping at work to try to get some answers.
Meanwhile Carla had been trying to get to the truth too by going to the prison to meet Logan Radcliffe (Harry Lowbridge) to question him about Becky’s death.
Logan had some information, but it seemed to point to another dead end as far as Carla could tell – though viewers saw another prisoner threatening Logan later so the information might well hold a vital clue.
In the wake of all this, Lisa made a huge decision to remove the wedding ring she usually wore, which was Becky’s. She declared her future was with Carla and she was ready to let the past go.
One of her first actions to signal that she and Carla are a family was to invite Carla’s nephew Ryan (Ryan Prescott) to move in with them, a gesture that Carla found deeply touching.
In upcoming episodes Carla and Lisa decide to attend a life drawing class together. Their new hobby is instantly derailed by Betsy getting in touch to say she had a problem.
Carla heads for the factory where she finds Betsy distraught over some vest tops she’s been making. She’s mistakenly printed the wrong logo on every one of them and they’re now useless.
Carla seems to spend a lot of her time mopping up after Betsy’s various dramas – and she never takes kindly to people messing up at Underworld.
