Corrie fans think they have spotted a future for Betsy thanks to her new step-mother, Carla
Coronation Street fans think they have rumbled Betsy Swain’s future as her mum, Lisa, was seen marrying Carla Connor in the long-running show.
After thinking their day had been cancelled following a flood at the Chariot Square Hotel, Lisa surprised her wife-to-be by revealing their big day was going ahead, with Lisa’s daughter, Betsy, Carla’s nephew, Ryan Connor, and her father-figure, Roy Cropper, as their witnesses.
The nuptials were history-making scenes for the ITV soap as Carla Connor and Lisa Swain became the first two women to successfully marry in the long-running show, more than 65 years since it first aired.

After the celebrations took place, Carla and Lisa were seen alone in Underworld when a scream was heard. And while it caught Lisa’s attention, Carla dismissed her concern that it was ‘just foxes’ and carried on finding the song she wanted the pair to dance to to round off their special day.
But as Corrie fans know, it was Betsy’s horror cry that was heard, as it was previously revealed that death would rock the cobbles on Swarla’s wedding day. But as viewers saw, no victim was seen, and this week, spread across five nights of soap drama, the murder victim will be revealed.
However, away from the horror that will unfold, Corrie fans think they have spotted a future for Betsy thanks to her new step-mother, Carla. @Emmmmmer said: “Bookmark this. Betsy Swain will take over Underworld when Carla retires. Watch her hand the factory over to her daughter for the next generation to keep it going. #swarla #corrie.”
@LisasLip72 replied: “Yep, foregone conclusion from months ago tbf.” @Dianaspuzzles shared: “I’d much rather see Betsy taking on a more senior role in Underworld than have a baby…I really hope they don’t go down that route….a Carla mini me at work would be so much more entertaining!!! #swarla #corrie.” @Jacksxson added: “I completely echo this. Plus it would be beautiful to watch their family evolve this way, Carla spending forever with Lisa & handing UW to Betsy one day. They could have so much fun & entertainment on the way.”
It comes as Betsy is set to be involved in a ‘coming-of-age’ storyline alongside Dylan Wilson. Actors Sydney Martin and Liam McCheyne have both confirmed the news, but haven’t revealed the details of what the plot will entail.
But it seems a future in Underworld is something Sydney would like to see for Betsy as she told Inside Soap: “Betsy absolutely adores fashion,” Sydney explained. “I adore working in Underworld, and I love that she wants to take that further. She’s got Carla as a role model and to guide her through it, so I think she’d like to follow in Carla’s footsteps.”
