Following the shock twist that Becky Swain (Amy Cudden) is still alive in Coronation Street, there is yet more drama to come for Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).

Just as things are looking up for fan-favourites Swarla, Becky’s arrival will surely rock their world, and that of daughter Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin).

Viewers will know that, until yesterday, Becky was thought to be dead, having supposedly been knocked down by a getaway car in the line of duty.

Her death hit wife Lisa hard, and she struggled with her grief alone for years.

However, over the past year, she has grown close to Carla and allowed her walls to fall down, eventually falling in love with her.

Though they have faced plenty of obstacles, including being held hostage by Rob Donovan, they have remained strong, and recently got engaged.

Lisa got down on one knee last week after several failed attempts from Carla, and the couple have been basking in the glow of their engagement ever since.

Unfortunately, that looks set to change as new pictures obtained by Metro reveal a dramatic showdown between the couple and Lisa’s not-so-late wife.

In yesterday’s episode, Betsy celebrated her 18th birthday, but the tension was high as she dealt with the grief of her mum not being there and Lisa’s overprotective nature.

To make matters worse, she witnessed a traumatic hit and run, which left her shaken.

With Betsy out and Carla having gone to the factory to figure out why the alarm was going off, Lisa was left alone in the house – but not for long.

When she heard someone come in, she expected it to be Carla, but got the shock of her life when she came face to face with Becky.

In upcoming scenes, Lisa demands answers from Becky, and the plot is set to thicken over the following weeks as Carla determines to find out the truth about Becky’s fake death.

Lisa always suspected that something was off about Becky’s death, with her partner having been under investigation for corruption at the time of her death.

When Betsy discovered this, she began to suspect that her mother’s death had been a targeted hit, and vowed to get answers, though her search ultimately led nowhere.

The detective sergeant herself even went so far as to break into DI Costello’s (Daon Bruni) office and search his emails for clues relating to Becky, only to be caught out and assured that there was nothing to find.

DI Costello appears to have been going out of his way to keep the truth about Becky’s fake death hidden, and actress Amy Cudden has teased that there is plenty more to explore when it comes to Becky’s relationship with the boss.

‘What we know so far about Becky and Costello’s relationship is just the tip of the iceberg; what’s underneath is much more complicated and hidden. It will be a lot of fun watching that unfold,’ she teased.

‘Daon Bruni is amazing and a brilliant scene partner. He’s going to tangle the story even further and create more brilliant drama and mess.’

Of course, fans will be concerned about how Becky’s arrival will impact Carla and Lisa’s relationship, especially now that Amy has confirmed Becky is looking to reunite with her wife and daughter.

‘Becky’s wife, Lisa, is about to get engaged and married to another woman, Carla. It was dangerous for Becky to return before, but her primary objective is to be with her wife and daughter. While there wasn’t a direct threat to that central family unit, she kept her distance.

‘Now that Carla is a clear threat and Lisa and Carla are deeply in love, Becky feels she must return to try and reclaim her family even if that puts her at risk.’
