Fans of the ITV soap already know that Becky is a villain but her next move will come as a shock
Becky Swain is set to show just how sinister she can be as she continues to try and get her own way in Coronation Street.
Those who follow the ITV soap know that the former wife of DS Lisa Swain made her shock return back in September, and has brought nothing but trouble for her and her new partner, Carla Connor, ever since.
Lisa, and her daughter Betsy, were led to believe that Becky had been killed in the line of duty four years ago before her sudden appearance in Weatherfield. Becky claimed that she had been in Spain, having been put in witness protection following a botched undercover operation.
But her return came after Lisa and Underworld factory boss Carla had moved into their first home together, and officially got engaged in a public display outside of the Underworld factory following a number of failed proposal attempts.
Becky, who claimed she was in witness protection in Spain after an undercover operation went wrong, is now not making things very easy for Carla, with her clear intention to get her family back together, while DI Costello puts her under pressure to return to Spain.
With Lisa continuing to be torn between her past and her future, a heartbroken Carla is set to make a decision about their relationship this week, all while Costello is attacked and left in the hospital.
Now, spoilers for next week’s Corrie have revealed the drama set to follow. At the start of the week, Lisa tells Carla that despite what she thinks, it’s her she wants to be with. But will Carla be swayed?
Meanwhile, with Costello still in hospital, Lisa tells Becky they may have traced the lad who attacked the head of Weatherfield’s CID and he goes by the name of Soap. Becky makes out she’s never heard of him, before meeting up with Soap to retrieve Costello’s burner and personal phone but as he hands them over, they hear police sirens.
Soon, Lisa tells Becky the doctors are bringing Costello out of his induced coma. But before they do, at the hospital, Becky checks the coast is clear, before grabbing a syringe, intent on killing him before he regains consciousness. However, as she suddenly comes face to face with Lisa, is the game up?
Still trying to get to the bottom of what happened, DC Kit Green tells Carla that he knows Becky is involved in the attack on Costello but without his phone, it’s going to be difficult to prove.
Having clearly not gone through with her murderous plan, in the hospital, Becky struck up another idea as she chats to Costello’s daughter.
She manages to glean that her birthday was on September 22nd and a she shows Becky some holiday snaps on Costello’s Ipad, Becky makes a mental note of the screen password. But as Kit tells Lisa they’ve managed to locate Costello’s phone, is Becky too late?
