Coronation Street First Look: Becky ‘Targets’ Lisa in Explosive Reunion Plan Amid Carla Fears

The cobbles of Coronation Street are once again set to ignite with betrayal, obsession,

and emotional turmoil as Becky Swain’s shocking return continues to shake Weatherfield to its core. Next week, the ITV soap teases

a pivotal moment that sees Becky make her boldest move yet — a manipulative attempt to win back her ex-wife Lisa Swain,

all while secretly plotting to push Carla Connor out of the family once and for all.

For viewers who remember the chaos of Becky’s supposed death four years ago, her resurrection has been nothing short of jaw-dropping. Having faked her demise to escape a mysterious threat, Becky fled to Spain, leaving Lisa and their daughter Betsy to pick up the pieces. With the help of Di Costello, Becky successfully vanished from sight, her past shrouded in deceit and danger. But now that she’s back in Weatherfield, it’s becoming clear her disappearance may have been only the beginning — and that the woman once seen as a victim could, in fact, be hiding a darker agenda.

A Dangerous Reunion

In a newly released preview, viewers will see Becky reconnect with Lisa under the guise of helping her through a difficult time. With Betsy recently arrested, emotions are already running high, giving Becky the perfect opening to rekindle old bonds. What begins as an innocent evening between exes soon spirals into something far more complicated.

The pair settle on the sofa, sharing a curry and a glass of wine — a familiar ritual from their past life together. The conversation drifts to nostalgic memories, as Becky reminds Lisa of their quiet nights in, laughing, eating takeaways, and watching Game of Thrones. The warmth between them flickers once again, and for a brief moment, it’s almost as if nothing ever changed.

But under the surface, Becky’s motives are far from pure. As Lisa’s guard lowers, Becky subtly plays the victim, lamenting the years she spent “in hiding” from dangerous criminals. Lisa, moved by guilt and grief, confides in her former wife about how difficult life became after her supposed death. When Becky softly wishes she could “turn back the clock” to when they were a family, Lisa’s emotional defenses begin to crumble.

Emotional Manipulation or Genuine Love?

The tension reaches its breaking point as Becky gently strokes Lisa’s hair — a gesture that sends a rush of conflicted feelings through Lisa. Overwhelmed, Lisa grasps Becky’s hand and presses it against her cheek, a tender act that leaves Becky smiling knowingly. For Becky, this moment signals victory — a sign that Lisa still loves her, that the door to their past may not be completely closed.

However, Coronation Street fans know better than to trust appearances. Could this apparent reconciliation be part of a much darker scheme?

According to Corrie boss Kate Brooks, viewers haven’t seen the full extent of what Becky is capable of. “There’s a lot more to Becky’s story than meets the eye,” Brooks teased in a recent interview. “She’s charming, calculating, and deeply unpredictable. Her return isn’t about redemption — it’s about revenge.”

Carla Connor in the Crosshairs

At the center of Becky’s twisted web lies Carla Connor, the strong-willed businesswoman who has recently become Lisa’s partner — and now fiancée. In the wake of Becky’s “death,” Lisa rebuilt her life with Carla’s help, finding love and stability again. The two women even became engaged, determined to create a future together. But Becky’s reappearance has shattered that peace, dredging up painful memories and planting seeds of doubt in Lisa’s heart.

For Becky, Carla is more than just a rival in love — she’s an obstacle that must be eliminated. Carla’s mere presence threatens Becky’s dream of reuniting her family, and as Carla grows increasingly suspicious of Becky’s motives, the tension between the two women threatens to erupt.

With Carla temporarily away in Ireland, Becky now has the perfect opportunity to manipulate Lisa without interference. The question is: will Lisa see through her ex-wife’s emotional tactics, or will she fall victim to the nostalgia and guilt Becky expertly wields?

A Brewing Storm in Weatherfield

The preview hints that Becky’s plan to “win back” Lisa might not be as romantic as it seems. Behind her sweet words and teary confessions could lie a far more sinister intent. Rumors suggest that Becky’s time in Spain wasn’t spent in hiding at all — but in building connections that could help her regain control, both emotionally and financially.

Meanwhile, Carla’s instincts are on high alert. Even from afar, she senses danger. Her love for Lisa may soon be tested as Becky continues her subtle campaign of psychological warfare, using Betsy’s troubles and Lisa’s lingering grief to wedge herself back into their lives.

But in true Coronation Street fashion, nothing stays hidden for long. When Carla inevitably returns to Weatherfield, the confrontation between her and Becky promises to be explosive. Both women are fiercely protective of Lisa and Betsy, and neither is willing to back down.

The Calm Before the Chaos

The upcoming scenes promise to deliver an emotional rollercoaster — one filled with betrayal, longing, and manipulation. The quiet scene of two women sharing wine on the sofa might appear harmless, but fans can expect it to mark the beginning of a much bigger storm.

Will Lisa give in to the powerful pull of her past, or will she see through Becky’s deception before it’s too late? And just how far will Becky go to reclaim the life she believes was stolen from her?

As Coronation Street gears up for one of its most emotionally charged storylines of the year, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With Carla’s future, Lisa’s heart, and Betsy’s well-being all hanging in the balance, Becky’s next move could change the Swain family forever.

And if Kate Brooks’ hints are anything to go by, this is only the beginning of Becky’s reign of chaos. “Becky isn’t just back to stir the pot,” Brooks teased. “She’s here to blow the entire kitchen up.”

Brace yourselves, Weatherfield fans — the battle for Lisa Swain’s heart is about to turn deadly.
