Amid theories swirling about whether there&#8217;s more to what her and DI Costello have claimed, we&#8217;ve seen Becky causing drama for Lisa and her fianc\u00e9e Carla Connor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">But with the pair staying united, Becky&#8217;s hopes to get her family back seem to have been unsuccessful for now.
