Coronation Street confirms Christmas tragedy for Carla Connor and Lisa Swain as things take a turn for the worse
Coronation Street’s Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) are about to spend their first Christmas together, but will it be the magical holiday they’ve been dreaming of?
The couple are certainly prepared for a cozy day amid the festivities – but that doesn’t mean there aren’t challenges waiting to present themselves.
Over the Christmas period, Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) continues to play the troublemaker, having already made things difficult for the couple in the past.
Will her behaviour derail the Christmas they have planned?
Elsewhere, the historic investigation into wife Becky’s murder is casting a shadow over Detective Sergeant Lisa.
Lisa was recently thrown when Matty Radcliffe (Seamus McGoff) suggested he knew something about her wife’s death, and she has vowed to get to the bottom of it.
Will her determination and mounting suspicions get in the way of her happiness this Christmas?
Beyond that, Carla’s health becomes a cause for concern, leaving their chances of a happy New Year looking less likely.
Despite the drama, one thing that has been confirmed is that Carla and Lisa’s relationship will remain strong throughout their times of hardship.
‘We want to keep them secure, we want to keep them grounded, we want to make that relationship really believable and it is, what I’ve seen on screen is fantastic between the two of them,’ show boss Kate Brooks previously revealed.
‘At the heart of it is a relationship, it’s a love story and they will, inevitably, get a lot of curveballs thrown their way.‘2025 is not a quiet year for them and there are a lot of hurdles that come their way, things that they didn’t quite anticipate that get in the way of their relationship, but ultimately they emerge from this strong and united.
‘I’m really excited to be with this couple on this journey, I think the drama and the story they’ve given us already is immense and they’re going to give us a lot more of that.’
