Coronation Street viewers believe Carla Connor will sell her factory Underworld to a returning character on the ITV soap, with several former faces tipped to step in as Idris Nazir pushes to take control of the business.
Idris has been sabotaging Carla in an attempt to force her to sell up, from damaging the factory to meddling behind her back, while Carla remains unaware of his actions. Some viewers predict Carla will end up selling, while others think someone may give her money so she can keep control of the company.
Returning Characters Tipped to Help Carla
Fans are speculating that a former character could head back to Weatherfield and provide Carla with the funds she needs. Among the names being discussed are Carla's ex Peter Barlow, her sister Kate Connor, and close friend Michelle Connor.
One fan posted online: "I hope Peter comes back to save the factory." Another said: "Peter? He's meant to be coming back?" as a third added: "PETER 1000%"
A separate theory read: "Omg please bring Kate back to help her half sister if that doesn’t happen then I will cry." Another fan agreed: "I think it’s Kate Connor but I do hope it would be Lisa but don’t think so."
Owen Armstrong and Current Characters in the Mix
Owen Armstrong's confirmed return also sparked speculation that he might step in to help. A fan said: "Owen is meant to be coming back, it could be him." Another agreed: "Izzy's dad," as one said: "Or is it Izzy's dad because he is coming back?"
Other fans thought it might be someone currently on the show, including Roy Cropper, or Betsy or Lisa. A fan said: "I think Roy could help Carla sort it out," as another said: "Roy and Betsy." A further post read: "I would love for it to be Betsy or Lisa that way the factory would legit be a family kind of company."
Fans Hope Carla Keeps Her Business
Meanwhile one fan suggested Brody would feel guilty for helping Idris. They said: "I have a feeling Brody is gonna feel extremely guilty and help Sally with the money to open it up again."
But other fans are hoping no one saves the day, and that Carla will be able to keep her business. A fan wrote: "Underworld is Carla, Carla is Underworld..... she can't loose the factory in her 20th year. Someone/something will come up for her. There's so many memories held there, especially a little blonde who was in the area."
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
