Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street’s Becky Swain attempts to bump off Costello in hospital next week – just as Lisa decides to pay him a visit. After Lisa reveals that doctors plan to bring Costello out of his coma, Becky heads for Weatherfield General and ensures that she’s alone with him – before grabbing a syringe that she hopes will kill Costello.
But before Becky can administer the lethal injection, Lisa turns up out of the blue. Is Lisa about to discover that Becky is a cold-blooded killer?
“Becky clearly has murder in mind,” our Corrie spy warns. “She’s intent on bumping off Costello to make her life easier – it makes you shudder about what other sick schemes she could conjure up if this plan fails. Let’s just hope that Lisa catches her in the act.”
The week kicks off with heartbroken Lisa doing her best to convince Carla Connor that she is the only woman for her. Can she convince her ex-fiancée that she means every word?

Subsequently, Lisa informs Becky that her colleagues might have successfully tracked down the fella that targeted Costello. In fact, Lisa even has a name, revealing that the culprit is known as ‘Soap’.
Playing dumb, Becky pretends that she’s never heard of the guy – but then meets Soap to recover Costello’s burner phone and personal mobile. However, as Soap and Becky seal the deal, they hear police sirens blaring nearby…
Next, Becky receives news from Lisa that Costello is due to be roused, so she visits the hospital and readies the syringe to silence him for good. However, Costello unexpectedly regains consciousness – then Lisa walks in.

Later in the week, Kit Green reveals to Carla that he’s certain that Becky played a part in Costello’s recent attack, but without his phone, it’s going to be an uphill battle to prove it. Meanwhile, Becky hangs around Weatherfield General and chats with Costello’s daughter, who reveals her birth date. And after Becky gains the girl’s trust, she’s soon looking through holiday pictures that his daughter merrily fires up on Costello’s iPad.
“Becky’s intelligence makes her so dangerous,” our insider adds. “As the youngster opens her dad’s device to show off her photos, Becky makes sure to catch a glimpse of the password. What will she do with the information?”
Elsewhere, Kit informs Lisa that the cops have finally located Costello’s phone.
Will Kit’s revelation expose Becky’s darkest secrets? And if so, is time running out for Lisa’s twisted ex?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
