The dinner at the Bistro, which Carla and Lisa had planned to celebrate with friends like Roy Cropper and Evelyn Plummer, suddenly turned into a nightmare.

While the laughter was still echoing at the table, the door opened and a strange woman appeared.

She introduced herself: “I’m Tia Wardley. I heard people were looking for me.”

The whole room was silent.

Carla stared blankly at Lisa, and Kit Green held his breath. After weeks of only hearing the name from Logan, Tia was now standing right in front of them. But who was she? Was she a friend that Becky had saved, or an accomplice who had fallen into the trap with Becky?

In her story, Tia affirmed that Becky had helped her escape the path of crime, that Lisa’s late wife was a good cop. Lisa was moved to tears, and Carla felt relieved. But Coronation Street viewers know: the truth in Weatherfield is never simple.

Because soon after, the scene reveals that Tia secretly met DI Costello. With a triumphant smile, she said: “I acted like Meryl Streep. They believed me.” It turns out that this woman is not the real Tia. Once again, the truth recedes, leaving Lisa and Carla with an undercurrent more dangerous than ever.
