Coronation Street is set to deliver more emotional turmoil for viewers as the dramatic fallout between Carla Connor and Lisa Swain reaches a heartbreaking new low.
Heartbreak for Carla and Lisa
Recent episodes of the long-running ITV soap saw Carla Connor call time on her relationship with fiancée Lisa Swain, unable to cope with the ongoing drama caused by Lisa's ex, Becky Swain. The situation escalated with Becky faking threats against herself and deliberately driving a wedge between the couple, ultimately leading to their painful separation.
Lisa was left devastated when Carla declared their relationship over, and upcoming episodes confirm the pair remain apart. New spoilers indicate that Kit Green becomes concerned for Carla as she turns to alcohol to cope with her heartbreak.
Becky's Manipulation Continues
This development comes shortly after Becky cruelly taunted Carla about her past struggles with alcoholism. In scenes airing next week, as Carla knocks back drinks, Kit advises Becky to send Lisa to the factory to check on her.
While Becky promises to pass on the message, the twisted character instead enters the office and closes the door behind her, leaving viewers wondering what she has planned next.
The drama follows a revealing conversation between Kit and Carla earlier, after he visits DI Costello in hospital. Costello remains in a coma following a brutal attack, with Kit convinced Becky is either behind it or involved somehow.
Uncovering Costello's Secrets
When Kit discovers from Costello's wife that the detective planned to retire to the Lakes in September, he becomes confused since Costello had never mentioned this to him. Kit shares this information with Lisa and Becky, immediately noticing Becky's discomfort about the discovery.
This leads Kit to tell Carla about his suspicions that Costello and Becky were working together prior to the attack. Determined to uncover the truth, Kit's investigation intensifies after Costello's wife shows him a photo of the house they bought in Coniston.
Kit makes a note of the property name, 'Ravensgill', and quickly begins research, discovering that the house was bought by a company set up exactly one week after Becky supposedly died.
Meanwhile, Carla becomes preoccupied with repairing her relationship with Lisa. She returns to their shared home and admits she should never have left, assuring Lisa she never stopped loving her. Lisa reciprocates the sentiment, but delivers a devastating blow when she reveals it's too late and their relationship is over for good.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
