Coronation Street‘s newest schemer Becky Swain gets her feet well and truly under the table at Carla and Lisa’s house next week – until Carla accuses her of lying about being under threat. With Becky claiming that she’s in danger at her new flat, concerned Lisa and Betsy have kindly let her stay at their home.

But as this tale of woe seems highly suspicious, can Carla convince her fiancée that they’re all being played by her scheming ex?

What to Read Next

“Now Becky’s got herself into No.6, there’s no way she is going to want to leave again,” our Corrie insider warns. “So Carla’s going to have a big battle on her hands if she wants to get rid.

“Meanwhile, Lisa isn’t completely naive and has her suspicions about Becky’s story. But when she asks her outright if she’s telling the truth, Becky turns into a master manipulator…”

In the face of Lisa’s accusations, Becky makes a big show of being upset and offended that her estranged wife could think she is capable of such a lie. Following Becky’s strong reaction, Lisa backs off, but Carla isn’t going to be put off so easily.

“Lisa did disclose to Carla the fact that Becky tried to kiss her recently,” our source continues. “But since that admission, as far as Carla is concerned, this is war.

“Add to this Lisa’s plans to take Betsy to Spain, and Carla is more determined than ever to keep her family together and get Becky out of their lives for good.”

Lisa is thrown by her conversation with Becky, so Carla tells her fiancée in no uncertain terms to wake up to her ex’s games. She reasons to Lisa that if Becky really was in danger from heavies, as she has claimed, why would she come to the home of her daughter and risk having that danger follow her?

Carla insists to Lisa that this is all part of Becky’s sinister plan – but unknown to the pair, Becky is listening in. How will she react as Carla starts to bring Lisa around to her way of thinking?

“We’ve learned that Becky is no stranger to dishing out threats – she certainly found a way to deal with Costello when he tried to get her to head back to Spain,” our spy adds. “How far might she go to find a way to make Carla back off too?”

Of course, this twisted love triangle affects more than just Becky, Lisa and Carla. Betsy is still convinced that her mum is in danger, so isn’t likely to react well if Carla and Lisa insist that she leaves the house to return to potential peril.

With the idea of moving to Spain with her other mum still hanging tantalisingly in the air for Betsy, can Lisa and Carla really take the risk of throwing Becky out – and pushing their daughter away too as a result?
