Carla Connor, one of Coronation Street’s most iconic and enduring characters, may be facing her final chapter — and fans are not ready to say goodbye. Played by Alison King since 2006, Carla has battled mental health struggles, endured betrayal, and clawed her way through some of the soap’s darkest storylines. But her latest battle may be the one that breaks her — or worse, kills her.

In recent weeks, Carla’s life has been thrown into chaos by the return of Becky Swain, the supposedly “dead” wife of Carla’s fiancée Lisa. Presumed killed in the line of duty in 2021, Becky’s reappearance has shaken Weatherfield to its core. Now revealed to have been in witness protection, Becky wasted no time in reclaiming her old life — and that includes sabotaging Lisa’s new relationship with Carla.

A Dangerous Game Begins

Becky’s manipulations have already driven Carla out of the home she shared with Lisa, igniting suspicion and emotional turmoil. But in a daring move to expose Becky once and for all, Carla returned to No.6 and joined forces with Kit Green to bring the truth to light. Viewers saw Carla’s steely determination on full display — but at what cost?

The twist? Becky is far from defeated. She was recently revealed to be behind an attack that left DI Costello hospitalized — a move that hints she’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect her secrets. And if Carla’s snooping gets too close to the truth, fans fear Becky’s next act of vengeance could be fatal.

Fans in Panic Mode

Online fan forums are already sounding the alarm. “Hope it doesn’t backfire on Carla trying to take Becky on… Is Carla’s exit looming?” one fan posted. Others were more blunt, with one writing, “I think Becky will kill her and then get sent to prison.” It’s a chilling theory — but not out of the realm of possibility in a soap world where secrets have deadly consequences.

For many, the idea of Carla being killed off is unbearable. “Nooo, I couldn’t cope if they killed Carla off,” another fan wrote. After nearly two decades of emotional investment, a dramatic exit like this would be a monumental moment for Coronation Street — and a heartbreaker for its loyal audience.
