Coronation Street Star Amy Cudden Reveals Becky’s Secret Tactic to Win Over Lisa | Coronation Street

It takes a rare kind of nerve to stroll back into Weatherfield after faking your own death and still manage to crack jokes as if nothing ever happened —

but that’s exactly the kind of boldness that defines Coronation Street’s Becky Swain. The fiery and unpredictable character has returned with a vengeance,

setting the cobbles ablaze with chaos, charm, and a sly wit that conceals deeper motives. Portrayed by the talented Amy Cudden,

Becky is quickly proving she’s not here to fade into the background — she’s here to shake things up in spectacular fashion.

Since Becky’s shocking reappearance earlier this month, fans have been left wondering what her true intentions are. Is she seeking redemption, revenge, or something else entirely? In an exclusive sit-down with Inside Soap, actress Amy Cudden lifted the lid on the complex psychology behind her character’s actions — and how Becky’s humor may be her most cunning weapon yet.

“Becky’s sense of humor is one of her tactics,” Amy revealed. “She’s a very slippery character — if you were to give her an archetype, she’s a shapeshifter. She plays the room that she’s in. She knows how to read people and twist situations to her advantage.”

It’s a fascinating insight into a woman who thrives on unpredictability. Whether she’s charming, joking, or manipulating, Becky knows precisely how to disarm those around her. And her latest targets? Lisa and Betsy — the two people whose trust she desperately needs to win back.

“She knows that she can make Lisa laugh, and she knows she can make Betsy laugh,” Amy continued. “If she’s looking to become closer to them, one of the easiest ways is to make them laugh and soften them that way.”

Behind the sly smirks and witty remarks, though, lies a mother’s deep yearning for connection. Becky’s reunion with her teenage daughter Betsy revealed glimpses of genuine love and remorse. Despite years apart and the scars left by her supposed death, Becky’s desire to reconnect with Betsy feels heartbreakingly real.

“Becky adores her daughter,” Amy shared warmly. “But she’s got a real issue with boundaries. She sees herself as more of a best mate to Betsy rather than a mum — which isn’t very healthy. She’s not the one who’s going to lay down the law or rein things in.”

This blurred line between maternal instinct and reckless friendship is at the heart of Becky’s latest storyline. While Betsy may be craving stability after a traumatic year, Becky’s return threatens to undo her fragile progress. “She’d be the one to suggest something really naughty or silly,” Amy added with a laugh. “Something that could easily get Betsy into trouble with Lisa. Becky’s the fun and slightly wild mum — the one who always pushes the boundaries a little too far.”

Lisa, of course, isn’t blind to Becky’s antics. Having built a delicate balance in the Connor-Swain household, Lisa now finds herself torn between protecting Betsy’s emotional well-being and managing the unpredictable force of nature that is Becky. Their uneasy alliance — part rivalry, part reluctant partnership — has quickly become one of Coronation Street’s most gripping dynamics.

And it’s that tension that Amy believes will keep viewers hooked in the weeks ahead. “Given everything that’s happened, trouble is the last thing Betsy needs,” she admitted. “But Becky’s presence makes that kind of trouble almost inevitable. Just the fact that she’s alive creates ripples that everyone around her has to deal with.”

The drama doesn’t stop there. Amy hinted that Becky’s presence in Weatherfield is far from temporary — and her ties to both Lisa and Betsy will only tighten as time goes on. “I can’t see how she wouldn’t stick around,” Amy teased. “Betsy is her daughter as much as she is Lisa’s. That’s a bond you can’t just walk away from. So that dynamic — those three women trying to navigate love, resentment, and control — it’s not going to be smooth sailing.”

For Becky, redemption won’t come easy. She’s a woman who’s made a career out of dodging consequences, and now, fate seems determined to make her face them head-on. As she tries to rebuild trust, she’ll have to confront the pain she’s caused — both to her daughter and to those she once considered family.

But could humor really be her saving grace? Amy thinks it might just be. “Her jokes, her laughter — they’re her armor,” she explained. “When Becky makes people laugh, she feels safe. It’s how she avoids being truly vulnerable. But underneath all of that, there’s still this raw, aching need to be loved and accepted. And that’s what makes her so fascinating to play.”

As the streets of Weatherfield brace for more drama, Becky’s next move remains unpredictable. Will her charm and humor be enough to mend the bridges she burned? Or will her inability to change ultimately push Lisa and Betsy away for good?

One thing’s certain — Becky Swain is a character who refuses to be ignored. Her return has reignited old feuds, exposed buried emotions, and challenged the very idea of forgiveness. And as Amy Cudden masterfully brings her to life, viewers can expect a whirlwind of laughter, heartbreak, and explosive confrontation in the weeks to come.

Becky’s story is far from over — and as her presence continues to stir chaos across Weatherfield, one can’t help but wonder: in her quest to win back her daughter and make peace with Lisa, will Becky finally find redemption… or destroy everything all over again?
