There's a new face in the bustling world of Underworld, as Carla Connor has taken on a new apprentice. The lucky individual is none other than Betsy, daughter of DS Lisa Swain. However, their professional relationship doesn't exactly start off on the right foot, as we'll soon see in the upcoming episodes of Coronation Street.
Carla and Lisa have grown close in recent months, thanks to Lisa's involvement in the investigation of Lauren Bolton's disappearance. Their bond was further strengthened when Carla worked tirelessly to prove Roy Cropper's innocence after he was falsely accused of her murder. But things took a turn when Carla's nephew Bobby gave a false statement to the police in order to get Roy released. Carla, not wanting to betray her friend, went along with the lie during her interviews with DS Swain. This led to a falling out between Carla and Roy, much to his shock and disappointment.
During a meeting at the police station, DS Swain couldn't help but notice Carla's reluctance to discuss her issues with Roy. She soon learned why when she overheard Carla arguing with her daughter Betsy on the phone. As a result, DS Swain opened up to Carla about her own family life, revealing that Betsy had been struggling since the sudden death of her father. Being the kind-hearted person she is, Carla offered Betsy some work experience at the factory in hopes of helping her out.
Next week, we'll see Betsy put her machining skills to the test at Underworld, much to the delight of Carla and Fiz Brown. However, things take a turn when Carla catches Betsy texting on the job and confiscates her phone. Will this cause tension between the two? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, fans are already shipping Carla and DS Swain, with actress Vicky Myers confirming that her character is gay. However, for now, DS Swain is focused on her career and being a single mother to her teenage daughter, leaving little room for romance. Will Carla be able to break through her tough exterior and win her heart? We'll have to wait and see.
Make sure to tune in to ITV1 and ITVX on Friday, July 5th to catch all the drama unfold on Coronation Street.
