Coronation Street‘s Carla Connor issued a shocking threat to Becky Swain, as the pair continue to battle for Lisa’s affections. But with Becky still scheming to win back her family, could Carla’s outburst have pushed the former spouses closer together?

In tonight’s episode, Lisa tried to convince a reluctant Carla to attend a Halloween party at the Rovers. When Betsy invited Becky to join them, Carla changed her tune and made it clear that they’d all be going as a family – meaning Becky wasn’t welcome.

At the pub, Betsy forced Lisa and Carla to take a photo in their couple’s costume. But the festivities turned sour when Carla scrolled on Betsy’s phone and discovered a playful video of the two mums while she was away.

Still irritated by the revelation that Becky had stayed over during her absence, Carla made an excuse and stormed out of the party. Meanwhile, after learning that Carla was out of the picture, Becky headed over.

Before long, Becky was back to her old tricks and she asked Maggie Driscoll to play the song that she and Lisa had danced to at their wedding. She used the opportunity to reminisce about their special day, causing Lisa to become expectedly emotional.

As Lisa cried in the toilets, Becky admitted she had chosen the song to remind her wife of their old life together. The pair shared a shock kiss, before Lisa asserted that she loved Carla now.

Back at home, Lisa explained what had happened to a furious Carla, assuring her that it was “barely a kiss”, but Carla accused the pair of having an affair behind her back.

“I’ve just bought this house with you, Lisa. I mean, I’ve taken on your daughter. I’ve put absolutely everything, all I’ve got, into this and it’s not enough, is it?” Carla fumed. “Because I can’t compete with someone who comes back from the grave, can I?”

The fiery factory owner burst into the Rovers and made a beeline for her rival, issuing her with a stern warning before Lisa dragged her away. “Couldn’t wait to get your claws in, could you? If you ever kiss her again, I’ll kill you and this time you’ll stay dead,” she shouted in front of everyone.

The argument continued behind closed doors as Becky further antagonised Carla. Lisa questioned why her ex-wife had even been at the party, accusing her of trying to break them up. When Betsy defended Becky, an irritated Lisa told her daughter to grow up.

Later, Carla sought the counsel of Roy, who encouraged her to fight for her relationship. She assured him that she wasn’t giving up on Lisa, before declaring war on Becky. Could another showdown be on the cards?
