No one thought that the name Becky Swain – who was once thought to be “dead” – would one day return to Weatherfield, and even bring with her a dark plan that would make everyone’s hair stand on end.

After four years of absence, Becky suddenly appeared when Lisa Swain’s life had stagnated with a new turn: love, stability, peace.

But then Becky did not greet gently — she brought doubt, confusion, and the feeling that “the old thing” was always lurking behind her.

That return was not simply “returning home to find family” — but a shaky light that foreshadowed chaos.

From the first appearance, Becky haunted the audience by looking straight into the past, walking back to Lisa and her daughter Betsy, as if wanting to restore a lost family — or at least restore the feeling of “ownership”. But people discovered: Becky was not looking for a way to reconcile solution. She’s probing, calculating, remembering — and waiting for the right moment to strike. Behind that seemingly weak gaze is a dark determination: to reclaim “everything” she believes she deserves.

What makes the situation even more serious: Becky’s target isn’t an outsider — it’s DI Jerome Costello, who’s been suspected of keeping a dark secret. If Lisa is just shocked by Becky’s reappearance, Costello — with his own twisted past — has real reason to be afraid. People in real life and characters on the show are starting to ask: Becky is back for love — or for revenge?

And when the wind changes direction, no one knows who the shadow of the “dead” Becky will fall on next. Is she an old ghost returning to find peace? Or is she a murderer trying to “erase her tracks” to take it all back? Weatherfield has never held its breath like this.
