In a dramatic turn of events on Coronation Street, Becky Swain's transformation from grieving wife to potential murderer has been confirmed in shocking new storyline developments.
From Hero to Villain
When Becky Swain, portrayed by Amy Cudden, was presumed dead, her wife Lisa, played by Vicky Myers, remembered her as a loving mother and heroic police officer. Despite an ongoing corruption investigation at the time of her death, Lisa maintained unwavering belief in her wife's innocence.
However, since Becky's unexpected return from the dead, viewers have witnessed her increasingly desperate and dangerous behaviour as she attempts to reclaim the family she left behind.
The Path to Violence
Becky's sinister nature has gradually emerged through several disturbing incidents. She previously threatened Costello, played by Daon Broni, by secretly photographing his daughter and sending him the pictures. She also manipulated her way into Lisa and Carla's home through deception and lies.
The situation escalates dramatically when Costello fails to appear for work, prompting concern from Kit, portrayed by Jacob Roberts. When it's revealed that Costello has suffered a brutal assault, Kit immediately suspects Becky's involvement and shares his concerns with Lisa.
Lisa initially dismisses the idea that Becky could be responsible for grievous bodily harm, but her investigation leads to a shocking discovery. She informs Becky that authorities have identified the attacker as someone called 'Soap'.
Despite Becky's feigned ignorance, she's later seen meeting with this very individual to retrieve both of Costello's phones, confirming she orchestrated the violent attack.
Christmas Terror and Hospital Horror
As the festive season approaches, Becky intensifies her campaign to create what she envisions as the perfect family Christmas. Having successfully destroyed Lisa's relationship with Carla through her manipulations, she moves to reclaim her family completely.
However, one significant threat remains: Costello. When doctors indicate they plan to wake him from his induced coma, Becky knows he could expose her crimes. In chilling scenes, she heads to the hospital with clear murderous intent.
Viewers will see Becky check for witnesses before seizing a syringe, apparently determined to ensure Costello never wakes up. The tension reaches its peak when Lisa unexpectedly arrives at the hospital, potentially catching Becky in the act of attempted murder.
Meanwhile, mystery surrounds Carla's whereabouts as social media shows her enjoying a carefree holiday in Lanzarote, though questions arise about whether this is genuine.
The only hope for uncovering the truth lies with Kit, who works to decipher messages from Costello's phone that could reveal Becky's web of lies. As he gets closer to the truth, concerns grow about whether Becky will target him next to protect her secrets.
This Christmas on Coronation Street promises to be anything but peaceful as Becky's manipulations create a terrifying nightmare for Lisa and their daughter Betsy, while a potential murderer walks free.
