Weatherfield is entering a phase where a single misstep can cost a lifetime of haunting memories.

And the eye of this storm is Carla Connor.

While everyone thought Carla had “gone somewhere to clear her head,” the truth is far more cruel:

Carla has disappeared in the most terrifying way, locked in a dark room by Becky, with no escape and no one hearing her cries for help.

The most painful twist is that Lisa Swain still believed her girlfriend was okay, still thought Carla was texting back, still tried to reassure herself that Carla was just busy or needed time. But what Lisa received was a perfectly orchestrated act: Becky took Carla’s phone, texted back as if Carla was fine, drawing Lisa into the feeling that “everything was under control,” only for Lisa to sink deeper into despair.

Becky’s reappearance wasn’t just “normal jealousy,” but a deliberate storm. She targeted Lisa’s weak points: anxiety, the fear of losing Carla, and the guilt of not being there for her loved one when she was in trouble. Becky constantly created situations to push Lisa into a night of mixed emotions, a mix of hurt and confusion, causing Lisa to make a wrong move. But what drove Becky crazy was that no matter how things turned out, Lisa was still drawn back to Carla in her mind, as if Carla was the only one Lisa couldn’t replace. This only made Becky lose control, wanting to keep Carla “in the shadows” to cut off any possibility of Lisa returning.
