If Christmas was the prelude, then New Year’s Eve and the first days of 2026 are when Corrie will unleash the real explosion.

Not just one line of action, but multiple lines simultaneously accelerating, each house holding a small bomb, and Corrie igniting a chain reaction.

Most notably, Becky and her Spain plan are the main culprits, as they contain all the elements to become a disaster: obsessive love, control, a child caught in the middle, and another woman, Carla, who is already being hurt.

The situation now is that Lisa has begun to express her intention to leave.

But Lisa doesn’t want to leave Carla behind in silence, so she wants to meet Carla to speak directly. It sounds mature, but that very maturity drives Becky crazy. Because in Becky’s mind, as long as Lisa still thinks of Carla, Becky hasn’t completely won. And so Becky chose to force things: persuading Lisa to put away her phone for safety, pushing things forward, cutting off all communication so Lisa wouldn’t have time to change her mind. This wasn’t protection anymore, but mental imprisonment.

One detail that chills viewers is Lisa giving Sarah an envelope to return the engagement ring to Carla when Carla appears. This is the kind of action someone who’s genuinely thinking about leaving someone’s life, not just threatening. And it also opens the door to tragedy: Carla might receive the ring in the cruelest way, without a chance to say her last words, without understanding why, only feeling pain. Meanwhile, Becky could be pulling the strings from behind the scenes, ensuring Carla never gets a decent conversation with Lisa.
