Fans of DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) in Coronation Street are continuing to learn small pieces of information about her ex partner Becky.
The local detective, who is in a relationship with Carla Connor (Alison King), was previously with her colleague Becky. The character, who we’ve never met, died on duty.
Swain previously explained how Becky had been chasing an assailant, who jumped into a getaway car and mowed her down, with Becky dying at the scene.
Lisa reflected on Becky’s death once more recently, when dedicated police officer Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) was also killed on duty.
Craig was attacked by Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton), who had found out about Brody (Ryan Mulvey) not being his son shortly before. Craig attempted to gain control of the intense moment, but Mick hit him with a cricket bat, and he died in hospital.
This week, Lisa told Carla more about Becky’s life as a copper. She revealed that, before her death, Becky was being investigated by the anti-corruption unit, and Lisa was keen to keep that information from Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin).
Lisa emotionally opened up about how she and Becky had fought over the allegations the day Becky was killed, and though the investigation was dropped, she didn’t get the funeral she deserved.
As a result of this development, a few fans of the ITV soap are starting to wonder if Becky might be alive.
Taking to social media platform X, this user said: I can’t cope with the Becky being alive theories but I also can’t stop reading them!!!.’
Passionate Swarla fan Sophie wrote a thread on the site, noting the possibility of Becky featuring in the Corrie and Emmerdale crossover episode at the start of next year.
This fan said: Becky is “NOT” alive, nope, nope, nope!!! Wait….Just don’t go there, I’m begging you please! Not on my watch.’
Amid these comments though, plenty of audience members are hoping the theory won’t prove to be true.
‘Becky Is Not Still Alive’, this user wrote, while another simply said: ‘Becky is not alive becky is not alive becky is not alive.’
Swain attempted to talk to Betsy about her mum, but when Betsy insisted that she hadn’t read the letter because she wasn’t interested in knowing who her sperm donor was, Lisa decided to keep quiet about what the letter was really about.
Unfortunately, Betsy wasn’t being entirely honest either, as she later revealed to Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) that she knew exactly what the letter was about.
She confessed that she was convinced Becky’s hit and run had been a coverup of some sort, and asked Lauren for her help in getting to the bottom of things.
