Carla Connor was about to face a nightmare that she never could have imagined. The upcoming scenes in Coronation Street would show the factory boss being held hostage in her own workplace, Underworld. It was already a stressful week for her as she prepared for her plea hearing after being charged with ABH for knocking a young boy off his bike. But things would take a turn for the worse when she came face to face with Tom, the boy's father, outside the courtroom.
Actress Alison King, who plays Carla, explained the situation: "She's been pushed to the edge, and she's had to defend herself in the courtroom. But even outside, she couldn't help making snide remarks about the boy to her son Ryan. And that's when the boy's father suddenly appeared, saying 'that's my son'."
Carla couldn't help but snap back, trying to justify her actions by saying the boy deserved it, especially with a father like Tom. But in reality, she was vulnerable and had a lot on her mind, including a letter she had received. In a moment of anger, she tried to defend herself, even though deep down she knew she had no defense for what she had done.
Returning to the factory to deal with a dissatisfied client, Carla was unaware that Tom had followed her. She was shocked when she realized who he was, and things quickly escalated when he started behaving in a threatening manner. Carla tried to flee, but luckily DS Lisa Swain appeared and intervened. However, the encounter left Carla shaken and confused.
Later, Lisa and Carla shared a touching moment, leaving Carla to question her feelings. Alison shared her thoughts on the unexpected friendship between the two characters: "Each step of this friendship is a surprise for Carla. She cares for Lisa, but sometimes she can't quite figure out her feelings." As Carla tried to make sense of the situation, she couldn't help but wonder if Lisa felt the same way.
