Life has been far from a picnic for Carla Connor<\/a> (Alison King<\/a>) in Coronation Street<\/a> lately, and the drama is only set to ramp up as we get closer to Corriedale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Carla has been confirmed as one of a number of characters set to appear in the epic crossover between ITV<\/a>\u2019s flagship soaps Coronation Street and Emmerdale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although how she ends up in the middle of a multi-vehicle pile-up on a country road outside Hotten is anyone\u2019s guess, given her current situation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For over a week now, Carla has been at the mercy of Becky Swain (Amy Cudden), who has locked her in an airing cupboard to keep her away from Lisa Swain<\/a> (Vicky Myers<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Carla was getting closer to uncovering the full extent of Becky\u2019s misdeeds<\/a> when she was caught red-handed snooping around the once-dead woman\u2019s flat.<\/p>\n

However, it isn\u2019t the threat of Carla exposing her criminal activities that has convinced Becky that keeping her bound and gagged in a closet is the best course of action. No, delusional Becky is entirely driven by her desire to reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers<\/a>: Lisa.<\/p>\n

With Carla out of the way and Becky having laid a trail of breadcrumbs leading Lisa to totally the wrong conclusions, she is getting ever closer to achieving her goal.<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to Corriedale, Becky further isolates Lisa and daughter Betsy Swain<\/a> (Sydney Martin<\/a>) by encouraging them to get rid of their phones<\/a> in the interests of their own safety, promising she\u2019ll get them new ones beforethey leave for the ferry.<\/p>\n

Somewhere between the Chariot Square Hotel and the ferry port, the Swains end up on that cursed road as their lives intertwine with the Emmerdale villagers\u2019.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that this storyline has been building since Becky\u2019s resurrection in the summer<\/a>, actress Alison King revealed that she had no expectations of being in the Corriedale crossover.<\/p>\n

When asked at the premiere what she had been hoping to read upon receiving the Corriedale script, Ali replied: \u2018Nothing for Carla. I was thinking, \u201cWhat on earth is this? There\u2019s no words!\u201d It was just one thing after another.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, after reading through pages and pages of twists, turns and carnage, there was one thing she wanted.<\/p>\n

\u2018I hoped that Carla would be alive at the end of it,\u2019 she laughed.<\/p>\n

Will Ali get her wish? Or, after everything she\u2019s suffered in the last few months, will Corriedale be the thing to finally destroy Carla Connor?<\/p>\n
