A new spoiler video for Coronation Street confirms that Becky Swain's (Amy Cudden) reign of terror is far from over, despite her being behind bars. While the nation watched Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) finally arrest her wife after the epic multi-vehicle pile-up, the manipulative Becky has one last cruel game to play.
From Prison with Malice
The video, released on January 6, 2026, shows Lisa receiving a letter from the prison where Becky is incarcerated. She tries to brush it off as junk mail to Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), but it's clear the correspondence has left her deeply unsettled. Having survived Becky faking her own death, an attack on her boss, a firebombing, and being manipulated for weeks, Lisa's resilience is about to be tested once more.
In upcoming scenes, a determined Lisa will visit Becky to deliver a final, firm message: she wants nothing more to do with her and is content to let her "rot in prison." Unsurprisingly, Becky does not accept this rejection calmly.
A Threat to Destroy Everything
The situation escalates next week when Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) learns her worst nightmare may be coming true. From her prison cell, Becky threatens to take Lisa down with her, potentially annihilating the detective's career and future. This prompts a horrified Betsy to visit her mother in a desperate bid to intervene.
The spoiler asks a chilling question: after all the extreme efforts Becky went to in order to win Lisa back, will she really go through with destroying her completely? Even if she hesitates, the profound damage inflicted on Lisa and those around her cannot be undone overnight.
Unresolved Tensions with Carla
While Becky remains the immediate threat, the fallout from her actions continues to strain other relationships. There is still significant animosity between Lisa and Carla Connor (Alison King), despite the deep care they evidently still hold for one another.
In the clip, Kit urges Lisa to make amends with Carla while she still can. He is acutely aware of how close Carla came to death after being bound, gagged, and moved to a shipping container by Becky, where she was left without her vital anti-rejection medication. Kit was the one who finally found her, and any longer would likely have been fatal.
The question now is whether Carla, having faced her own mortality, will be willing to seize the day and consider a reconciliation with Lisa, or if the scars are too deep to heal.
