In the upcoming scenes of Coronation Street, Carla Connor will find herself feeling disheartened after facing rejection from DS Lisa Swain. The reason behind this is truly heartbreaking. Carla and Lisa have developed a close bond over the past few months. Recently, their relationship took an unexpected turn when they shared a charged moment together. During this moment, Carla opened up about her divorce and Lisa bravely disclosed her struggles with mental health. In the midst of their honest conversation, the women shared a warm embrace. However, things took a turn when Carla pleaded with Lisa to not put herself in any danger.
As Carla gently brushed Lisa's hair behind her ears, Lisa became overwhelmed and immediately left the flat. The next day, both women tried to move on and avoid any awkwardness between them. They didn't want their friendship to be affected by their shared moment. However, Ryan Connor, Carla's brother, noticed the tension between them and playfully teased Carla about her new crush. He encouraged her to not be embarrassed or in denial about her feelings.
On the other hand, Lisa made a conscious effort to focus on her daughter Betsy Swain, as she was now a single mother with Becky no longer in the picture. In future scenes, Carla and Lisa spend time together once again, and Carla takes the opportunity to commend Lisa for successfully managing work and motherhood. However, when Carla tries to offer comfort by placing her hand on Lisa's shoulder, the detective flinches and quickly exits the room, leaving Carla feeling devastated.
The next day, Betsy is surprised when she walks in on Lisa examining bruises on her body in the bathroom. Lisa tries to brush it off, claiming she got them from a body combat class. However, Betsy is not convinced and actress Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa, explains that this is because Betsy knows her mother very well. She adds, "She [Lisa] was caught off guard, as she was in the safety of her own bathroom and didn't expect Betsy to walk in. Lisa has been acting differently for a few weeks now, and Betsy has noticed. So what could have caused these bruises?"
When Betsy discovers a bottle of painkillers dated September 28, she shares her findings with Mason Radcliffe. To her shock, he points out that Joel Deering was killed on September 27. This raises even more questions for Betsy. Later, she overhears Daisy Midgeley mentioning that Joel had been involved in a fight on the night he was killed, leaving Betsy feeling shaken.
Meanwhile, Ryan questions Carla about her whereabouts on the night of Joel's death. She claims she had gone to the factory to turn off the lights. However, the next day, she admits to Bobby Crawford that she had lied to the police about being with him and Ryan the entire night. Lisa, still trying to keep the truth about her bruises from Betsy, lies yet again and says she got injured at the office. It is clear that both Carla and Lisa have something to hide.
Actress Vicky teases, "Lisa definitely has something to hide. As a detective, she does encounter physical altercations, but not usually to the extent of causing bruises. So what really happened?" She also adds that Lisa's lie about the body combat class only adds more suspicion. "Hopefully, the truth will come out in time," she says.
