There was a moment on Coronation Street<\/a> on Friday night that left fans convinced they’d seen Becky Swain’s true colours.<\/p>\n

After weeks of speculating about her intentions and what she might be hiding, viewers finally saw a tense exchange between her and DI Costello, the man who helped fake her death four years earlier. Becky rocked up and shocked her ‘widow’ Lisa Swain recently, as well as their teen daughter Betsy Swain, with both of them led to believe Becky had died in the line of duty.<\/p>\n

It’s clear Becky is trying to get her family back, with Corrie boss Kate Brooks confirming Becky is keen to oust Lisa’s fianc\u00e9e Carla Connor out of the fold. Carla is suspicious of Becky, but she’s not the only one with Kit Green involved too, not to mention fans being convinced there’s more to why Becky went into hiding, and what she and Costello have been up to.<\/p>\n

So when Betsy found herself arrested on Friday, it soon became clear there was more to the tale. It all stemmed from Betsy’s social media post that featured Becky in, with Becky meant to be keeping a low profile.<\/p>\n

With Lisa worrying about where her daughter had been, Becky offered to help track her down only for Kit to drop some big news. Betsy had been arrested, accused of wrecking a car and resisting arrest. Of course it didn’t take Becky long to realise Costello was behind this.<\/p>\n

As Becky offered to be there for Lisa, worming her way into the house amid their daughter being stuck in a cell, fans believed she was doing the unthinkable. Some fans claimed Becky wasn’t even bothered about poor Betsy’s ordeal, instead using it as a means to get closer to a troubled Lisa.<\/p>\n

Not only that but some fans feared Becky could have orchestrated it, while this seemed not to be the case as Becky appeared shocked when she figured it all out. That said, she still managed to come up with a plan to threaten Costello who was admant she must return to Spain.<\/p>\n

She told Costello that she’d go but only if she went with Lisa and Betsy, telling him he needed to make this happen. So while Betsy was still in a cell fearing for her future and Lisa was in turmoil, leading to a clash with Becky, Becky herself was a little preoccupied trying to turn it into a way of getting her family back and away from Weatherfield.<\/p>\n

Fans suggested we were seeing Becky’s true colours and intentions, amid soap boss Kate confirming Becky was “a bit of a villain”, and we would soon learn what she was fully capable of. One fan tweeted: “So much for Becky fearing for her safety and needing to keep a low profile, just walking down the cobbles and then meeting Costello in the alley. Yeah she\u2019s not fearing for her life it\u2019s all an act and lies.”<\/p>\n

Another viewer said: “So maybe Becky didn’t orchestrate Betsy getting arrested but when she found out Costello did as leverage to send Becky back to Spain, she was okay with letting Betsy spend the night in jail to get some alone time with Lisa. Give her the Mum of the Year award.”<\/p>\n

A third fan commented: “Becky knew Costello stitched Betsy up and she made a plan to stay the night with Lisa and conveniently brought a bag.” A fourth added: “Becky and Costello scenes. Remember those are just the tip of the iceberg with these two.”<\/p>\n
