Betsy Swain is due to stumble upon a dead body in just a matter of days over in Coronation Street (alarming stuff!)

On April 23rd, Betsy enjoys celebrating the marriage of mum Lisa to partner Carla, but the night takes a bad turn.

Walking on the cobbles into the night with Lauren, Betsy soon finds someone she knows dead. How will this affect her?

Betsy finds a dead body in Coronation Street

Betsy Swain is set for a huge shock on April 23rd when she finds a dead body next to some scaffolding on the Street.

An oblivious Betsy enjoys celebrating her mum’s marriage with a drink or two, before turning the corner to find something rather grim – a corpse. And it belongs to someone she knows.

Viewers will be aware that the flashforward scenes that have already aired teased five potential murder victims – Carl, Jodie, Theo, Maggie, and Megan. However, viewers will actually have to wait until next week to find out exactly who dies.

With Betsy seeming very distressed (as anybody would be) in the police interview room, the discovery could shape her life going forwards in a rather troubling way if a recent Corrie fan theory is anything to go by.

Coronation Street fan theory predicts Betsy psychosis storyline

With Betsy Swain discovering a dead body, she’s bound to be traumatised. But, Coronation Street fans actually reckon that this will set off a fresh psychosis storyline for the young adult. With Carla having her own history with the mental health struggle, she could be Betsy’s source of support.

Tying into this, Betsy’s character is soon set for a hair transformation where she turns brunette… Could this resemble a darker storyline for the character?

One fan on Reddit suggested: “I’m getting the feeling that Betsy might end up being diagnosed with psychosis just like Carla had a few years back, and I think there’s gotta be some frictions both Carla and Lisa may have to pass through to help Betsy.”

Another person commented on X: “If this doesn’t trigger a mental health storyline for Betsy then what are we even doing here? Carla would be the perfect person to support her through this whilst Lisa tries to crack the case.”

A third person agreed: “Mental health storyline for Betsy? Written in the stars.”
