Coronation Street spoilers follow from Wednesdayâs episode (24 December), which is available to watch now on ITVX and YouTube but hasnât yet aired on ITV1.
Coronation Street has revealed a shocking kidnap twist in Becky Swainâs dark storyline. The dangerous villain has targeted Carla Connor in a ruthless bid to get her out of Lisa and Betsyâs lives forever.
The ITV soapâs Christmas Eve episode finally confirmed the truth over Carlaâs mysterious departure from Weatherfield. Carla appeared to leave the Street for a trip to Lanzarote last week, following weeks of tensions with her partner Lisa thanks to Beckyâs relentless scheming.
Social media posts and other messages from Carla have appeared to suggest that sheâs living her best life in Spain â and fully ready to move on from her relationship with Lisa. But the reality is very differentâŠ
In the early scenes of Wednesdayâs episode, manipulative Becky encouraged Lisa to forget about Carla and concentrate on enjoying a family Christmas with her and Betsy.

Keen to take any opportunity to get closer to Lisa again, sly Becky gave her a massage to relieve some tension and then started to kiss her on the back of her neck. She was delighted when Lisa finally responded to her advances, which led to them giving into temptation.
Later, though, Lisa was reminded of how much Carla still means to her and she left an emotional voice note â hoping that the Underworld boss would soon return to talk things through.
âSo, itâs Christmas Eve, babe. And I canât stop thinking about you,â Lisa admitted. âI want you. I want you back in my life and Iâm going to do whatever it takes to get you back.
âItâs you. And itâll only ever be you. I love you.â

Lisa was disappointed to receive a message of rejection in response, bluntly claiming that it was time for both of them to move on. But in a twist, the sender wasnât really Carla!
Ruthless Becky was seen meddling with Carlaâs phone after kidnapping her love rival. Poor Carla was gagged and trapped in a closet in Beckyâs flat â itâs clear that she never made it to SpainâŠ
Over the rest of the festive season, weâll see Becky step up her attempts to manipulate Lisa with all manner of plots and schemes to bring her close again.
Kit Green suspects something is amiss and searches for clues over Carlaâs true whereabouts, but can he uncover the truth before Lisa triumphs by getting everything she dreams of?
