This article contains spoilers for tonight’s Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.
Carla Connor (Alison King) has been concerned about girlfriend Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) in recent Coronation Street scenes, and tonight’s episode revealed exactly what she planned to do about it.
Lisa has been struggling since the death of colleague Craig Tinker brought back painful memories of wife Becky’s murder, which have affected her ability to do her job.
After making a mistake at work, which resulted in Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) suffering a seizure while in custody, Lisa was relegated to desk duty and ordered to attend a course of therapy sessions.
Unfortunately, she didn’t react well to the mention of Becky during her first session, and has since been tormented by the unanswered questions she has about the events surrounding her death.
Last week, Lisa shared her fears with Carla about the allegations that Becky was a corrupt cop, as she worried that she didn’t really know her wife at all.
In tonight’s episode, when Lisa confessed to Carla that she was concerned that she may never be able to return to active duty, Carla decided to do whatever she could to help Lisa get her life back on track.
When Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) borrowed Carla’s laptop, he stumbled upon a request for a visiting order that she had written to Logan Radcliffe.
Logan has been in prison since the murder of his younger brother Mason, but his brother Matty also previously alluded to them both being involved in Becky’s murder.
Michael was horrified by the request, and quickly confronted Carla, reminding her that Logan had previously attacked her and left her with serious health issues .
However, Carla was determined to help Lisa, and explained to Michael that she wanted her girlfriend to be able to move on with her life, and if that meant getting answers from Logan, then so be it.
By the time Carla got home, Lisa appeared to be feeling much more certain, as she revealed to Carla that she was going to forget the past and focus on her future and getting her career back on track.
With Lisa determined to move on, Carla sent Michael a text admitting that he was right, and promising not to visit Logan.
Will she be able to keep her secret plan from Lisa now that she’s agreed not to go through with it, or will Michael let it slip and send Lisa spiralling all over again?
