Coronation Street has aired a big update for Carla Connor and Lisa Swain, as they
made their relationship official.
Tonight’s (November 29) episode saw Carla discharged from hospital, after she was
attacked during a break-in at the factory. When Roy Cropper and Ryan Connor arrived to take her home, Carla admitted she was hoping Lisa may have come with them.
“I thought she might be along at the same time as you, but I’m obviously kidding myself, aren’t I?” she sighed, adding: “I don’t really know where I stand [with Lisa], to be honest.”
Meanwhile, Roy found a dejected Lisa at his cafe and informed her that Carla was back at home.
“I know you and Carla care for one another and that neither of you is happy with how the relationship, or lack thereof, is at the moment,” he appealed to her.
Lisa quickly shut down his match-making attempts, telling him she was “just trying to do what’s best” for Betsy. “You know, I go to work and I look after my daughter. That’s all I’ve got time for right now,” she explained.
However, Roy reminded the detective that Betsy would be “making her own way in the world soon enough,” adding: “And you’ll be on your own”.

Roy’s intervention seemed to have worked as later Lisa visited Carla at her flat. She admitted she does have feelings for Carla and wanted to give their relationship a chance.
“I have feelings for you and if you’re prepared to give me another chance, I’d really like to see where things could go… with us,” she announced.
However, Carla was reluctant to believe Lisa, and questioned her reasoning. She revealed she didn’t want to “let her guard down” any more, as she was worried Lisa might change her mind again.
Finally, Lisa was able to reassure Carla of her feelings and the pair shared a kiss. They then revealed their new relationship to Betsy, who was surprisingly supportive.
With Lisa out of the room, Carla told Betsy that she wasn’t going to tell Lisa about her involvement in the robbery, but warned her against any more bad behaviour. Will the trio be able to play happy families?
