This Christmas on Coronation Street is no longer a season of family, but a season of fear.

Audiences are shocked when Carla Connor – the symbol of power and strength at Weatherfield – suddenly disappears without a trace.

Everyone thinks she went on vacation to Lanzarote, but in reality, Carla was kidnapped by her girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend, Becky, in a series of dark and unexpected events.

Lisa Swain – Carla’s current girlfriend – is already in an emotional crisis.

After a long estrangement, she seeks out Becky – the woman who once caused Lisa pain but still maintains control. Becky refuses to accept that Lisa has moved on, and when she realizes Lisa still has feelings for Carla, she becomes consumed by jealousy. On a rainy night, Becky stalked Carla and ambushed her, kidnapping her shortly after Carla left the Underworld bar.

What shocked the audience was the screenwriter’s skillful transformation of Becky from a supporting character into a psychologically complex villain. She not only held Carla captive but also manipulated Lisa by faking messages, creating the illusion that Carla left because she was depressed. The scenes of Carla tied up in the old warehouse were filmed in a “thriller” style, with cold lighting and gasping breaths that left viewers breathless.

Meanwhile, the entire neighborhood was in utter panic. Peter, Evelyn, and even Roy Cropper were frantically searching for clues. Every CCTV footage, every tire track was scrutinized. It wasn’t until Lisa received a video of Carla’s desperate plea for help, cut short, that everything fell apart – and the kidnapping officially became the focus of all of Weatherfield. Will Carla escape? Or is this the price she must pay for her tangled past relationships?
