Coronation Street fans believe they’ve sussed out who Betsy Swain’s father is.

The mischievous Betsy, portrayed by Sydney Martin, arrived on the scene last year as DS Lisa Swain’s (acted by Vicky Myers) daughter.

Betsy grew up with two mums, Lisa and her partner Becky. Tragically, Becky was killed in action in late 2021, after a car crash while on duty. Betsy hasn’t wasted any time getting caught up in major plotlines since landing in Weatherfield.

Early this year, she dealt a devastating blow when her beau Mason Radcliffe (played by Luca Toolan) was shockingly murdered, stabbed by brothers Logan (Harry Lowbridge) and Matty (Seamus McGoff), reports Leicestershire Live.

As if coping with Mason’s death wasn’t enough, disaster struck when Betsy was gunned down in March by the menacing Rob Donovan (Marc Bayliss), amidst a hostage situation involving her mum Lisa and Carla Connor (Alison King).

Miraculously battling through serious injuries, leaving her without sensation in one arm, Betsy has recovered surprisingly quickly.

But now, Corrie watchers are buzzing with anticipation over a potential huge reveal concerning Betsy’s real dad – and they reckon he’s from the same neighbourhood.

Speculating on a Corrie Facebook group, a fan posited: “I think Becky had an affair that resulted in Betsy’s conception? And that’s why in interviews Vicky has said that Carla is Lisa’s love of her life and soul mate etc. Anyone else think the same?”.

Another viewer speculated: “I thought this a while ago, def more to come out about Becky.”

A third chimed in with a theory about Betsy’s paternity, hinting at the possibility of thug and killer Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) being her real father.

“What if Betsy’s real dad all along is Mick? Maybe Becky and Mick slept together years ago….,” they pondered. Another fan weighed in: “I think it would explain a lot.”

Mick arrived in Weatherfield earlier this year alongside his wife Lou (Farrel Hegarty). Quickly earning the title of “nightmare neighbours,” the couple wasted no time stirring up trouble.

They’ve been causing quite the stir among locals like Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) and Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan), and last month, Mick shockingly murdered Craig Tinker (Colson Smith).

Coronation Street fans are in overdrive as speculation mounts over a potential explosive twist involving teen tearaway Betsy Swain’s real dad — and the name being thrown around is none other than killer Mick Michaelis.

Betsy, played by Sydney Martin, has quickly become one of the Street’s most talked-about characters. Introduced last year as the daughter of tough cop DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), viewers were told she was raised by Lisa and her late partner Becky — who tragically died in a car crash while on duty in 2021.

But Corrie sleuths aren’t buying the straightforward backstory.

In the wake of Betsy’s string of harrowing traumas — from the murder of her boyfriend Mason to surviving a gunshot wound during Rob Donovan’s hostage rampage — fans believe a massive identity twist could be brewing. And it centres on who Betsy’s biological father really is.

🔥 “Becky Had an Affair?”

On social media, theories are swirling. One fan wrote in a Corrie Facebook group:

“I think Becky had an affair that resulted in Betsy’s conception? And that’s why Vicky [Myers] said Carla was Lisa’s soulmate — not Becky.”

Others echoed the sentiment, suggesting something sinister or secretive lies buried in Becky’s past.

But it’s the theory linking Betsy to Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) that has truly gripped fans.

🩸 Is Murderer Mick Betsy’s Dad?

Mick, who stormed onto the cobbles earlier this year with his volatile wife Lou, has made an infamous name for himself as one of the Street’s most dangerous newcomers. He’s terrorised neighbours, upended lives, and recently murdered beloved copper Craig Tinker in cold blood.

Now fans are wondering: could Mick also be Betsy’s biological father?

“What if Becky and Mick had a fling years ago?” one viewer speculated. “It would explain a lot — Betsy’s wild streak, the attitude, the darkness in her.”

It’s a shocking possibility, but one that seems increasingly plausible given Corrie’s love of family secrets with dangerous consequences.

💔 Trouble Ahead for Lisa Swain?

If the theory proves true, it could shatter Lisa Swain’s world. Already grappling with her daughter’s trauma and a fractured love life, the revelation that her late partner slept with a violent thug — and bore his child — would be devastating.

And if Mick finds out he has a daughter, there’s no telling what chaos might erupt in Weatherfield next.
