\n\t\tCarla is in a truly awkward predicament (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n
It\u2019s difficult to envy Coronation Street<\/a>\u2019s Carla Connor<\/a> (Alison King<\/a>) right now \u2013 every time her whirlwind love story with Lisa Swain<\/a> (Vicky Myers<\/a>) starts to settle into grounded territory, something pretty massive knocks them askew all over again.<\/p>\n This time, it\u2019s not a badly functioning kidney or a gun-toting brother but the classic late ex-wife back from the dead scenario<\/a>. Typical.<\/p>\n While Lisa is adamant that Carla is the woman for her and always will be, despite the woman she previously loved coming back into her life like a wrecking ball<\/a>, it\u2019s difficult for the Underworld queen not to feel put out. <\/p>\n And she\u2019s left with feelings of unease when well meaning Ryan<\/a> (Ryan Prescott<\/a>) issues a warning in coming scenes.<\/p>\n With the conflict still grinding on between Lisa and Becky<\/a> (Amy Cudden<\/a>), with Betsy<\/a>\u2019s (Sydney Martin<\/a>) interests seemingly being their joint motive (I\u2019m watching you Becky, I swear to God), Carla is caught in the middle and has so far managed to maintain a mature dignity of working with Lisa on the situation and coming from a place of understanding.<\/p>\n In fact, she was even the one who insisted to Lisa that she be honest with her daughter over her other mum not being as dead as they were led to believe. <\/p>\n \t\t To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web Whether that comes back to bite her remains to be seen but it\u2019s safe to say that any Swarla wedding planning continues to take a backseat while the pesky Alicante zombie situation is playing out. <\/p>\n Becky reveals that she\u2019s moving into a rented flat nearby, which is good news for all concerned, eh?<\/p>\n When Betsy suggests Lisa could help her move her stuff, Lisa\u2019s forced to go along with it. As they wait in the car together, having run out of fuel Becky discusses Carla and Lisa\u2019s feelings for her.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Carla tells Ryan that she trusts Lisa implicitly, but when Ryan wonders if she trusts Becky to the same degree, Carla masks her unease.<\/p>\n We feel you, Carla. Not sure I\u2019d trust this one with my toenail clippings personally. <\/p>\n \t\t Ryan\u2019s concerns playing on her mind, Carla later snaps when faced with Becky once more<\/a>. <\/p>\n Becky quizzes Betsy about the last four years, hoping to make up for lost time but Betsy gets upset and hurries away. When Becky calls round, Carla asserts that it would be best for everyone if she went back to playing dead.<\/p>\n Ouch!<\/p>\n It\u2019s not quite as simple as that, of course. Coronation Street is notably shy of a serial killer for now, and Carla and Lisa are probably best trying to work things out with Becky in a more reasonable fashion \u2013 at least for Betsy\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a turbulent development and things won\u2019t be easy for a while. <\/p>\n While you can be assured from this Swarla stanning writer that Carla and Lisa are strong enough to weather the storm eventually, there will come tests. <\/p>\n \t\t \t\t And that\u2019s something Amy was also keen to warn when she joined the show as spanner in the works Becky, a role she is making delicious work of, it has to be said. <\/p>\n Addressing the phenomenon of the couple\u2019s fandom, she reasoned: \u2018I agree with fans who might be furious to see someone come in and disrupt one of the most beautiful on-screen relationships. It\u2019s unconscionable, and they\u00a0should\u00a0be angry. <\/p>\n \u2018However, it\u2019s such a complicated relationship that other feelings will emerge as it unfolds. Things forged in fire only get stronger. Becky is a \u201cspanner in the works,\u201d but it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the worst, though it will be very difficult. <\/p>\n \u2018Ultimately, 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\u2019t be interesting. Come with us on this journey!\u2019<\/p>\n Okay, will do \u2013 but I\u2019m strapping myself in tightly and wearing an unflattering crash helmet if that\u2019s okay with everyone. <\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Becky](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/becky-coronation-street-c8ca.png\")
