Coronation Street confirms proposal story as Carla gets set to pop the question to Lisa

When Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) asked Carla Connor (Alison King) to marry her in Coronation Street several weeks ago, they both agreed that it wasn’t the right time to start thinking about getting married.

However, in upcoming episodes, Carla decides that enough time has passed to pop the question herself.

Though the couple have had a turbulent few months, they decide to embrace the serenity of life’s small pleasures by taking a life drawing class together in next week’s scenes.

Of course, it isn’t long before their peace is shattered by another disaster caused by Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin), who shows Carla a bundle of vest tops she has managed to print the wrong logo on.

It seems that Carla has much more pressing issues on her mind than a mix up at the factory however, as she later confides in Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) that she is planning to propose to Lisa!

Instead of the off-the-cuff, unplanned nature of Lisa’s last proposal, Carla opts to go all out, as she reveals to her nephew that she is awaiting the arrival of an engagement ring.

As Lisa observes the conversation, she can’t help but wonder what they’re whispering about.

Later, Lisa brings up the topic of rings to Carla, showing her a website and revealing that she plans to have a ring made for Betsy’s 18th birthday, incorporating Becky’s fingerprints.

By the end of the week, Carla is all set to put her plan in motion as she picks up the delivery of the engagement ring.

Rushing to the Rovers, she presents it to Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) and asks her to slip it in Lisa’s glass of champagne when she gets there.

With everything ready to go, Carla calls Lisa and asks her to join her at the pub, insisting that should meet for a drink.Will Lisa catch on to Carla’s secretive behaviour and what she’s trying to hide? And more importantly, how will she react?
