Carla ended up giving up

In tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Wednesday, December 10), Carla Connor’s clever plan to expose Becky Swain seriously backfired on her.

She secretly recorded Becky in a hope to gain evidence of her scheming but failed drastically, with Lisa ending up telling both women to go and fight over someone else.

But, the war between Becky and Carla isn’t over yet. Becky has a big revenge plot in mind.

Carla and Becky’s showdown in Coronation Street

This evening, Carla couldn’t stand to hear all about Becky and Lisa’s Christmas plans at No.6 and turned to a bottle of scotch in the factory.

Kit then updated her on Costello and how he’d been planning on retiring just before his attack. He encouraged Carla to continue with their plan against Becky, with Kit then heading off and ‘bumping’ into Becky herself.

He asked her to tell Lisa that Carla was asking for her, rather drunk in the factory. Instead of passing on the message, Becky visited her instead and confirmed that she’d been intending on winning Lisa back no matter the cost.

Unbeknown to Becky, Carla has been recording their conversation and wasn’t actually drunk at all. She then barged into No.6 and played the recording to Lisa and Betsy. But, instead of siding with Carla, Lisa had decided she’d had enough of both women’s petty games.

Carla then told Becky that she was ‘stubborn’ and wouldn’t be phased by this setback. Visiting Costello at the hospital, Carla then took out a pad and pen and begged him to help her find evidence that Becky was the one behind his attack.

Costello kept saying the words ‘hill’ and ‘rhubarb,’ which really puzzled Carla. Deciding that she was nowhere nearer to bringing down Becky, Carla then told Kit that she was giving up. Becky had won.

Becky’s laying on the mega-sparkly, stress-free Christmas fantasy for Lisa when things take a saucy detour. One ‘therapeutic’ neck massage later and Becky’s planting a sneaky kiss, leaving Lisa frozen like a half-thawed turkey.

While Becky whispers about reigniting their old flame, Lisa’s actually texting Carla, confessing she still loves her.

Kit drops by Costello’s room, reveals he’s found the flat, and Becky later slinks out of the en suite thanking him for keeping shtum.

Soon Becky’s pushing their Spain escape, phones ditched, plans racing. Meanwhile, Carla never checked into her Lanzarote hotel. Disaster incoming.
