After the year she’s had on Coronation Street, Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) is due some good news. Trouble is, her mum DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) might not see it that way…

Poor Betsy has been through enough drama to make the most seasoned resident of the Cobbles balk, and she’s not even twenty yet.

After her boyfriend Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan) was stabbed to death by his brother, she caught a stray bullet from her own mum during a terrifying stand-off with escaped killer Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis).

Then came the reunion with her supposedly dead mum Becky Swain (Amy Cudden). Unfortunately, Becky turned out to be a certified bunny boiler on an absolute bonkers mission to give Carla Connor-Swain(Alison King) the old cuckoo in the nest treatment so she could be with Lisa, culminating in poor Besty being trapped in a deadly car chase before the raving loon was finally brought to justice.
