Coronation Street twist as fans ‘work out’ unlikely resident saves Carla from kidney failure

Coronation Street fans are bracing themselves for more heart-wrenching Carla Connor storylines.

Recently, Carla faced a health scare and was taken to hospital, where she learned the grim news that her kidney damage is critical, necessitating a transplant.

In the upcoming episode on Thursday night, 9 January, viewers will see Carla’s nephew Ryan Connor offer his aunt a lifeline by proposing to donate his kidney if he’s a match, but Carla refuses to consider it.

Yet, Carla’s attention is quickly diverted when she notices her other nephew, Bobby Crawford, is nowhere to be found, sparking concern about his whereabouts.

The plot thickens as it’s disclosed that Bobby has gone to Highfield Prison to visit his father and Carla’s brother, Rob. The tension escalates when Rob discovers Bobby’s intention to convince him to donate a kidney to Carla., reports Lancs Live.

Meanwhile, Corrie enthusiasts have been speculating on social media that Carla might receive a kidney from an unexpected source. After Monday night’s tragic demise of Mason Radcliffe, fans pondered whether he could have been an organ donor.

One viewer speculated: “I wonder if it’s possible that Mason was registered as an organ donor? Carla might get his kidney!” which prompted agreement from others, with comments like: “Was thinking same when Carla said someone have to die to get one”, “Crossed my mind too”, “I thought that” and “Was thinking the same!”

This comes after Monday’s episode tackled a significant knife crime storyline, with the ITV series working alongside the Ben Kinsella Trust to ensure the portrayal was handled with authenticity.

In recent episodes, Mason has assisted DS Lisa Swain in her quest to bring his malevolent brothers, Matty and Logan, to justice. After Lisa disclosed to Mason that his brothers were behind the car crash that claimed her wife Becky’s life, he decided to take action.

Despite gathering evidence against his brothers, they were released from custody as the evidence was deemed insufficient to detain them. Realising his perilous situation, Mason chose to leave Weatherfield and took up Stu Carpenter’s job offer in Germany.

However, in a heartbreaking turn of events, just hours before starting his new life, his brothers tracked him down and fatally stabbed him in a series of deeply distressing scenes.
