*Coronation Street* fans have been left in shock and disbelief following the heartbreaking death of Mason Radcliffe, which aired during the January 6 episode.

The tragic events have sparked widespread speculation about the future of Mason’s girlfriend, Betsy Swain,

with many viewers theorizing that a pregnancy twist could be in store for the character.

Mason’s death came after a violent altercation with his brothers, Matty and Logan.

The teenager had been planning to leave *Coronation Street* after receiving a job offer in Germany from Stu Carpenter, but his past came back to haunt him.

Recently, Mason had been attempting to turn his life around after serving time in prison for possessing a knife amid a bullying campaign against Liam Connor.

Despite his efforts to move forward, the shadow of his troubled history loomed large as his brothers arrived in Weatherfield to wreak havoc.

On that fateful night, Mason and his friend, Dylan Wilson, were attacked by Matty and Logan in an attempt to retrieve family photos from their flat before Mason’s departure. What initially seemed like a beating soon escalated when Mason, later seen discussing knives with Liam, was brutally stabbed by his brothers. The tragic moment played out in a haunting scene, with Mason, bleeding heavily from the stab wound, sitting on a playground while Dylan desperately tried to help him.

Dylan, in a misguided attempt to protect Mason, brought a zombie knife to the scene. However, when Logan grabbed the weapon, the situation took a deadly turn. As Mason tried to protect Dylan, Matty shoved his younger brother into Logan, resulting in the fatal wound. It was Abi Webster who first arrived on the scene, trying her best to stop the bleeding before Mason was rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, the ambulance was delayed due to a hoax call, and Mason tragically died from his injuries.

Amid the chaos and heartbreak, Betsy rushed to Mason’s side, refusing to leave him even as the situation grew dire. The emotional scene reached its peak when paramedic Asha Alahan delivered the devastating news of Mason’s death to Betsy. Overcome with grief, Betsy collapsed into Abi’s arms as her mother, DS Lisa Swain, arrived at the scene, visibly moved by the tragic events.

In the aftermath of Mason’s death, *Coronation Street* fans have begun to speculate about what could be next for Betsy. Several fans have taken to social media to discuss the possibility that Betsy may be pregnant with Mason’s child. Given the couple’s sweet dynamic and the recent intimate moments shared between them, some viewers believe a pregnancy twist could be the next major plot development for the character.

One fan on Twitter, @Kelsian_03, suggested, “After today’s episode, does everyone think that maybe Betsy is pregnant due to Mason? If she is pregnant, that would be another traumatic experience for Betsy. Lisa would be put in another difficult situation. This may be where Carla opens up about her miscarriage.” This theory was echoed by other fans, including @darrennpassey, who noted, “I have been thinking about this theory for ages, it would be another traumatic experience for Betsy and give her another storyline!” Others, like @TVMusings22, also expressed similar thoughts, with one fan even going so far as to predict, “I think a pregnancy story is looming.”

The idea that Betsy could be pregnant following Mason’s tragic death has garnered significant attention online. Some fans are convinced that the show has made a point of highlighting the couple’s romantic connection, especially given the dinner date scenes that showed the two of them as a sweet teenage couple. Additionally, the fact that Lisa Swain, Betsy’s mother, had caught them together in a previous episode without any real follow-up has led fans to believe that this could be an important plot point.

One fan, @gretasrobbins, wrote, “Calling it now—Betsy is pregnant. Mason’s cute dinner date would have been enough to establish that they’re a sweet teenage couple. Lisa caught them but no real aftermath of that with Lisa and Betsy? But *Corrie* made a point to show that they were sleeping together, so…” This suggests that viewers are anticipating a more significant storyline for Betsy, possibly involving a difficult decision regarding her future.

If this theory proves true, it would add another layer of complexity to Betsy’s character, who has already experienced significant trauma and heartache. With her mother, DS Lisa Swain, likely to be thrust into another challenging situation, fans can expect plenty of emotional drama and turmoil in the coming months.

For now, it remains to be seen whether *Coronation Street* will explore the pregnancy storyline for Betsy. However, given the intense reactions from fans and the emotional depth of the recent events, it seems clear that Betsy’s journey is far from over, and viewers will be eagerly watching to see what happens next for her and the Swain family.
