Carla Connor’s world crumbles after unexpected and life-changing news in Coronation Street – and DS Lisa Swain is on hand to help

Carla Connor (Alison King) is set to face life-changing news in upcoming Coronation Street scenes, but thankfully she has DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) on hand for support.

When Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) calls into the factory looking for Carla, he presents her with an official looking letter.

As Carla reads it, her face falls, leaving Ryan concerned.

Later, he spots Lisa in the cafe and confides in her that Carla is stressed about her upcoming plea hearing.

Viewers will know that Carla got herself into big trouble earlier this year when she was involved in a hit and run.

After getting into a confrontation with a gang of young lads, Carla opened her car door and deliberately knocked one of them off his bike, before driving off.

Unfortunately, Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) had witnessed the whole scene play out, and used her knowledge to blackmail Carla into giving her a permanent position at the factory.

Eventually, the truth came out when Betsy let slip about the incident during an argument with her mum, Lisa.

Betsy was hurt that Carla and Lisa were spending so much time together, believing that Lisa was trying to replace Betsy’s late mum, Becky.

It is understandable why she would think this, as the pair have grown particularly close in recent months.

Lisa insisted that nothing was going on between them, but was blindsided to hear about Carla’s antics.

Unfortunately, Lisa couldn’t just ignore what Carla had done and revealed that she had no choice but to charge her.

With the plea hearing hanging over her, it is understandable that Ryan would think that that is what’s bothering her, but Lisa wonders if there is more to it.

Will Lisa be able to get to the bottom of what has upset Carla and help her through it?
