Coronation Street fans think they have spotted part of Carla Connor’s ‘plan’ to expose Becky Swain once and for all, despite making a sad move.
Those who have been following the ITV soap know that the Underworld factory boss has felt pushed to the side by her fiancee, Lisa Swain, following the return of the detective sergeant’s former partner, Becky.
She came back from the dead in September, almost four years after Lisa and their daughter, Betsy, were led to believe she had been killed in the line of duty, and it was already revealed that Lisa’s boss, DI Costello, was involved in faking her death.
Becky has since been getting in between Lisa and Carla, with a clear intention to get her family back together – whatever it takes – and she’s already succeeded in splitting them up, with viewers witnessing emotional scenes as Carla called time on her and Lisa’s relationship.
However, having initially moved out of their home, No.6 Coronation Street, which they only moved into in September before getting engaged, Carla returned as she began working with Lisa’s colleague, DC Kit Green, to try and get to the bottom of what Becky and Costello have been hiding for all this time.
However, Costello now being in hospital having been subject to a brutal attack, which is now making things more difficult and ramping up the pressure for Carla, Kit and Becky.
During Wednesday’s (December 10) episode, Carla was seen trying to get one over on Becky, pretending to be drunk and recording their conversation, in which she smugly revealed that she intended to win Lisa back, whatever it took, and that she’d got her way.
When Carla returned to No.6, Becky was quick to protest Carla was drunk, but she confirmed she was completely sober and that she’d just pretended in order to record Becky’s confession. However, it appeared Lisa didn’t really want to listen, feeling like a pawn in Becky and Carla’s game.
With Lisa having walked out, quickly followed by Betsy, Carla was left alone Becky and told her she wouldn’t give up. “You think you’re so clever, don’t you?” she scowled. “But I’ve got to warn you, I’m a stubborn cow, I’m gonna find out what you are and just what you’ve been up to,” Carla added.

Setting her plan into motion, Carla made a visit of her own to Costello, where he woke up and confirmed Becky was behind his attack, and gave her the words ‘Rhubarb Hill’, seemingly a clue to what she and Kit are trying to expose.
In Friday’s (December 12) episode, Calra confided in Betsy that she still loved Lisa and wanted to be there for her. Later, she told Lisa she wanted them to be together but, she told Carla there was no coming back from what they’d been through in recent weeks. Carla tried to protest, but Lisa had made her mind up, and she later told Betsy that she couldn’t continue having the same argument with Carla, so they needed to call it quits.
Heartbroken, Carla took off her engagement ring and decided to still head on the trip she had booked to Lanzarote as a surprise for Lisa and Betsy. She paid Costello another visit before heading to the airpor, and when Lisa changed her mind about them being apart, it was too late as Carla wasn’t answering her phone.
Corrie fans know that Carla is set to go AWOL, with her social media accounts suggesting she’s living it up in Spain, while other clues suggest something more sinister is going on and that’s she not left for her holiday at all.
And it’s Carla taking off her engagement ring that fans think will end up being a clue to help Lisa solve Carla’s whereabouts in the coming weeks, which they hope will expose Becky for the villain that she is.

@swoosh286 said: “Clue #1. Such a deliberate choice to show us her removing her ring & leaving it where she did! Lisa’s going to find it & the photos of her in Lanzarote on her SM will show her still wearing it! DS Swain welcome to the party!” @JenWagn70811332 replied: “Lisa is going to find Carla’s ring and chance are that’s the ring in the envelope that Lisa gives to Sarah to give to Kit. DS Swain is now finally activated she is greatly missed.”
@TheConnorSwains shared: “This has to be relevant, why show it so specifically? Is Carla gonna be wearing her engagement ring in those ‘Lanzarote’ pics & Lisa finds her ring here? Are we finally getting to the bit where Amy referenced ‘Lisa is a great detective’? #Swarla #Corrie,” before adding: “If Carla’s engagement ring wasn’t gonna be part of the plot going forward, she’d have just left it on the engagement island! DS Swain incoming…… #Swarla #Corrie.”
@creativesoul5 commented back: “That’s what I think. She also left the box open. She didn’t close it all the way. I hope Lisa comes across it and not Becky. Hopefully, around when Roy says she never checked in.” @Louise101050 posted: “Carla putting her engagement ring in that box does Lisa or Betsy find it after Carla supposedly post photos of herself on holiday and she’s wearing her ring is that when the penny will drop. #Corrie #swarla.”
@SwainsCoatStand added: “B is going to photoshop Carla into these Lanzarote pics holding cocktails in her left hand – with engagement ring still showing. Once Roy tells Lisa Carla never checked in the hotel, she is going to find her ring in that box… DS Swain will then kick into action.”
