Coronation Street spoilers reveal more twists and turns for Becky Swain in the upcoming episodes.
Recently, Becky made a jaw-dropping return from the grave, leaving her ex-wife DS Lisa Swain completely gobsmacked. Lisa was left reeling when the wife she thought had died on police duty in 2021 suddenly popped up in her living room on their daughter Betsy’s 18th birthday.
The surprise comeback of the ‘deceased’ Becky leaves us wondering what this means for Lisa and her new love Carla Connor, and how Betsy will cope with the bombshell that the mother she believed had been dead for the past four years is actually alive.
In fresh spoilers for next week, there’s a major update on Becky and it spells trouble for Carla. In forthcoming scenes, Becky announces that she’s moving into a rented flat nearby.
Matters take a turn for the worse when Betsy suggests Lisa could help her move her belongings, forcing Lisa to reluctantly agree. As they wait in the car together, which has inconveniently run out of petrol, Becky brings up Carla, reports the Daily Star.
Meanwhile, Carla assures her nephew Ryan Connor that she trusts Lisa wholeheartedly, but when Ryan questions if she trusts Becky as much, Carla hides her discomfort over the situation.
As the week unfolds, Becky probes daughter Betsy about the last four years, hoping to bridge the gap. However, Betsy quickly becomes upset and rushes off.
Later, when Becky rings, an enraged Carla declares that it would be better for everyone if she returned to playing dead… will Becky choose to leave her family in peace or is she just getting started….
This comes as Becky star, Amy Cudden, revealed her character’s motives for returning to the cobbles: “Becky’s wife, Lisa, is about to get engaged and married to another woman, Carla. It was dangerous for Becky to return before, but her primary objective is to be with her wife and daughter.
“While there wasn’t a direct threat to that central family unit, she kept her distance. Now that Carla is a clear threat and Lisa and Carla are deeply in love, Becky feels she must return to try and reclaim her family even if that puts her at risk.”
She continued: “I agree with fans who might be furious to see someone come in and disrupt one of the most beautiful on-screen relationships. It’s unconscionable, and they should be angry.
“However, it’s such a complicated relationship that other feelings will emerge as it unfolds. Things forged in fire only get stronger. Becky is a “spanner in the works,” but it doesn’t necessarily mean the worst, though it will be very difficult.
“Ultimately, this makes for really good TV and a fun, emotional, challenging, but rewarding journey for everyone. We want to give viewers a really good show; if everything was always wrapped up neatly, it wouldn’t be interesting. Come with us on this journey!”
Coronation Street continues on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV and ITV X.
