Carla Attempts To Kill Becky | Coronation Street

Carla Connor has never been one to play nice. Fierce, commanding, and unapologetically bold, she’s the type of woman who gets what she wants — no matter who stands in her way.

But this time, on the cobbles of Coronation Street, Carla’s control is slipping. The woman threatening her perfect life isn’t some fleeting rival or business enem.

It’s Becky Swain — the “dead” ex-wife who’s just returned to claim back everything Carla holds dear.

What began as a celebration of love between Carla and her fiancée, Lisa Swain, has turned into a nightmare. The couple’s engagement should have marked a fresh start, but when Becky, Lisa’s presumed-dead wife, walked back into Weatherfield, chaos exploded. Becky’s reappearance wasn’t just shocking — it was calculated. After four years of being “gone,” she’s back with one mission: to reclaim her family, and she’s willing to fight dirty to get it.

Executive producer Kate Brooks teased the danger Becky poses, saying, “Becky’s incredibly sharp and emotionally manipulative. She knows exactly how to twist the knife — especially when it comes to Lisa. She’s been in the shadows, watching, planning, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.”

And strike she has.

While Carla was away in Ireland attending business meetings, Becky pounced. She spent days alone with Lisa, rekindling memories and reigniting buried emotions. When Carla returned, she was horrified to discover that Becky had been living under the same roof at Number Six — her home. The final straw came when footage surfaced of Becky and Lisa modeling Betsy Swain’s designs at the Rovers’ Halloween party. Watching the woman she loved laughing and dancing with her rival shattered Carla. In a storm of rage, she fled home, furious and broken.

Becky, sensing blood in the water, made her next move with chilling precision. She played their song — the melody from her and Lisa’s wedding dance — and dared to kiss her ex-wife. But Lisa, guilt-stricken and confused, immediately confessed everything to Carla.

The confrontation that followed was volcanic. Carla tracked Becky down and unleashed her fury. Her voice was cold, her warning unmistakable: “Try that again, and you’ll be as good as dead — and this time, you’ll stay that way.”

Those words, echoing through the dark Weatherfield night, marked a new, terrifying chapter in their rivalry.

In the days that follow, Carla struggles to keep her composure. She confides in Lisa that she fears Becky will never stop — that she’ll claw her way back into their lives one manipulative smile at a time. Lisa insists that Becky’s chapter is closed, but Carla isn’t convinced. Her paranoia festers, pushing her toward the edge.

Determined to end the torment, Carla seeks Becky out once again. Their showdown is nothing short of explosive.

“Lisa’s mine,” Carla snaps.
“She’ll always love me,” Becky fires back, smirking. “You can see it in her eyes — even you know it.”

For the first time, Carla hesitates. The woman before her isn’t just a ghost from the past — she’s a dangerous opponent with nothing left to lose. As tension spirals, spoilers hint that this feud could take a deadly turn. A chilling teaser even suggests that Carla’s fury might drive her to cross an unthinkable line — one that could leave Becky fighting for her life.

And yet, fate might intervene. Becky’s upcoming encounter with Di Costello could alter everything, possibly removing her from Carla’s path for good. Whether that means Becky’s downfall or her victory remains to be seen.

But Weatherfield rarely grants peaceful endings — especially not for women like Carla Connor.

While this fiery storyline grips fans, Coronation Street also teases joy and heartbreak elsewhere on the cobbles. Debbie Webster’s long-awaited wedding to Ronnie Bailey has viewers buzzing — and with filming spotted on location, rumors swirl about the return of familiar faces. Debbie, who has faced her own health battles with vascular dementia, remains determined to celebrate life surrounded by those she loves most. And whispers of Rosie Webster’s return have fans nostalgic for the drama and sparkle she always brought to the Street.

Meanwhile, another storm brews at the Rovers Return, where newcomer Ben Driscoll — played by Aaron McCusker — faces mounting pressure from all sides. Having bought the pub for his wife, Eva Price, Ben hoped for a fresh start. But with his domineering mother, Maggie, refusing to relinquish control, the tension between family and business is about to boil over. McCusker hinted at darker days ahead, confessing, “Ben’s trapped between two women he loves — his wife and his mother. He’s desperate to keep the peace, but he’s heading for a breaking point.”

The actor also shared insight into Ben’s emotional world, highlighting the warmth of his scenes with his on-screen children. “They’re the heart of the family,” he said. “For all his mistakes, Ben’s a father who needs his kids to remind him who he really is.”

As the Rovers buzzes with conflict and romance, and as Becky and Carla’s feud reaches its dangerous climax, Coronation Street continues to prove why it remains the crown jewel of British television drama.

Every episode is a tapestry of love, loss, revenge, and resilience — and this latest chapter might just be one of its most explosive yet. Will Carla’s rage destroy her, or will Becky’s cunning finally push her rival over the edge? One thing is certain: on these cobbles, no one stays safe for long.
