Kit Discovers Becky Kidnapped DI Costello | Coronation Street – Explosive New Twist Rocks Weatherfield

Coronation Street is gearing up for one of its most explosive weeks of drama yet, as a chain of sinister mysteries, emotional unravelings,

and violent confrontations send shockwaves through Weatherfield. At the centre of the turmoil stands Kit Green, the ambitious officer

who may finally earn that long-running joke of an “Outstanding Police Officer” mug—because this time, Kit isn’t just solving a mystery. He’s walking straight into a war.

The disappearance of DI Jeremy Costello marks the beginning of a week filled with fear, heartbreak, and escalating danger. For once,

Weathersfield’s most controversial detective might truly be in over his head—and the list of people eager to see him fall is longer than ever.

THE DOWNFALL OF DI COSTELLO: THE PAST COMES BACK HUNTING

DI Costello has earned himself no shortage of enemies, from criminals to colleagues, but few resent him as deeply as Becky Swain. The former undercover cop, once forced to fake her own death to escape gangsters, has long been pushed to the brink by Costello’s threats and manipulation. After all, he helped orchestrate her “disappearance,” then later suggested she return to Spain—permanently—so she wouldn’t cause trouble.

But Becky has returned to Weatherfield with a purpose. She isn’t hiding anymore. And she’s certainly not running—not when Lisa Swain, the woman she still loves, is preparing to build a future with Carla Connor.

Carla’s engagement to Lisa is the one line Becky refuses to watch fade. Determined and dangerously unhinged, she makes a shocking threat involving Costello’s daughter—just as Kit walks in and overhears the chilling exchange. That moment becomes the first domino in a deadly chain of events.

The last time viewers saw Becky, she was on the phone with an anonymous contact, offering them a “lucrative deal.” Hours later, DI Costello vanished without a trace.
Coincidence? Kit doesn’t think so.

CARLA AND LISA SHATTER UNDER PRESSURE

While Weatherfield braces for the fallout of Costello’s disappearance, heartbreak looms over one of the show’s growing fan-favorite couples.

Carla Connor reaches breaking point as Becky’s relentless interference becomes too threatening to ignore. No longer convinced she—or Lisa—are safe, Carla delivers devastating news: she is ending the engagement.

According to insiders, the split is brutal, raw, and deeply emotional.

“Carla and Lisa have overcome so much,” the source reveals. “But Becky’s unpredictability has pushed Carla beyond her limit. She fears escalation—and she’s right to.”

Lisa is blindsided, devastated to discover that Carla would rather walk away than continue confronting Becky’s shadow over their lives. But Becky, ever the storm, seems to celebrate the destruction she’s caused.
Yet Coronation Street viewers know this couple well—and their story rarely ends at goodbye.

VIOLENCE STRIKES: COSTELLO FOUND SAVAGELY ATTACKED

The tension surrounding Costello’s disappearance reaches a horrifying peak when the disgraced detective is discovered—brutally beaten, barely conscious, and unable to recount what happened.

The attack is savage, personal, and clearly the work of someone sending a message.

Kit Green wastes no time connecting the dots. He marches straight to Lisa Swain, the one person who deserves honesty—and quite possibly the one woman who knows Becky better than anyone alive. With urgency in his voice, Kit lays out his chilling theory:
Becky Swain may have kidnapped—or even assaulted—Costello.

Lisa is stunned. Distraught. Torn between instinctively defending her ex and fearing her worst suspicions might finally be true. Whether Kit is right or not, one thing becomes painfully clear: the danger is real, and it’s getting closer.

TODD GRIMSHAW’S SILENT NIGHTMARE

Amid the chaos of Costello’s disappearance, Coronation Street also dives deeper into its most harrowing domestic abuse storyline in years. Todd Grimshaw’s relationship with fitness-obsessed boyfriend Theo Silverton takes a frightening turn as Theo’s jealousy, control, and rage continue spiralling.

When Sarah Platt confronts Theo over something she’s discovered involving his past fling Pete, the argument spills into the street—igniting Theo’s fury. His resentment toward Todd’s friendships intensifies, culminating in a chilling moment behind closed doors.

Triggered by James Bailey offering Todd innocent help with his muscle pain, Theo snaps. After watching Todd and James laugh together, Theo’s simmering insecurities boil over. In a disturbing scene, he grabs Todd, leaving him visibly terrified.

Insiders say this is only the beginning.

“Theo’s aggression is escalating,” the source explains. “This goes way beyond frustration. Todd is in real danger.”

With one character already missing this week, the hints of another potential disappearance send viewers into panic. Todd’s storyline is expected to get darker before any light appears.

KIT ON THE HUNT: A CLUE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

Back at the station, Kit Green grows increasingly unsettled. Costello’s absence isn’t just unusual; it’s unheard of. The man may be morally questionable, but he’s always punctual—almost obsessively so.

When a colleague shrugs off Kit’s concerns, insisting it’s “probably nothing,” Kit’s instincts flare. Something is wrong.

His fears prove justified when word arrives: Costello has been found, brutally attacked.

Kit rushes to Lisa with the news—but what he reveals next is even more explosive. Not only was Costello assaulted shortly after his run-ins with Becky, but Kit has uncovered a clue at the crime scene suggesting the attack was premeditated, calculated, and deeply personal.

The preview of Kit discovering this clue—an item linked directly to Becky—sets the stage for one of Coronation Street’s most nerve-shredding chases. The question on everyone’s mind:

Did Becky kidnap and assault Costello?
Or is someone setting her up?

Kit may finally be on the verge of proving himself—but if Becky is involved, he could be walking into deadly territory.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

• Carla and Lisa face a heartbreaking separation.
• Todd Grimshaw’s safety becomes a growing concern as Theo spirals further out of control.
