From a wounded woman, Becky Swain is gradually becoming the most terrifying villain Coronation Street has ever seen.

Recent episodes have sent chills down fans’ spines as Becky not only kidnaps Carla but also seduces Lisa into sleeping with her – even while Carla is being held captive.

That scene exploded on social media, with many calling it “the darkest moment in the show’s history.”

Becky isn’t just jealous; she’s obsessed.

She believes that if she can get Lisa back, she will “fix” everything. But when Lisa shows remorse, Becky becomes more extreme. She threatens Lisa, manipulates the emotions of Betsy – Lisa’s daughter – and draws everyone into a web of lies. Her words, her hugs, her kisses all contain cold control.

The most terrifying thing is Becky’s “acting”—she cries, apologizes, feigns vulnerability, then immediately changes her tone, threatening Lisa that she’ll lose her child if she betrays her. A chilling feeling pervades the entire episode as Lisa realizes she’s living with someone with an unstable mental state, and all her attempts to escape are futile. With the way the writers are pushing the plot, Becky could be the center of disaster in the Corriedale crossover episode—where all her sins will be exposed in a horrific accident.
