In the world of Coronation Street, storylines are always intertwined like a spider web – and this time, the intersection between Carl Webster and Eva Price is Ben Driscoll.

One is the “debtor”, the other is the “model husband”, and at the centre of them – Ben – is hiding more than the audience thinks.

According to new revelations, Ben is not only involved in Carl’s shady dealings, but is also the one who pushed Carl into a corner to cover up his crimes.

Carl thought he was being blackmailed randomly, but it turns out that Ben has arranged everything to protect his position and new life with Eva.

Eva, on the other hand, has no idea that the man she shares a bed with every night is the one who ruined someone else’s life.

The breaking point comes when Carl tries to confront Ben, threatening to expose everything. Two men face off in a familiar Weatherfield alleyway – a scene that promises to be the highlight of the week. Screams, blows, and finally, a deadly silence. Who will fall?

On the other side, Eva begins to piece together the clues, discovering that the times when Ben “disappeared” coincide with the cases Carl was involved in. When she realizes the truth, everything falls apart – but at the same time opens up the coldest revenge Eva has ever carried out.

Three people, three fates, but all bound by lies, guilt and misplaced love. Coronation Street is entering its darkest and most fascinating phase of the season. Carl, Eva, Ben – who lives, who dies – is no longer the director’s question, but a test for the audience: do you believe in redemption, or do you believe that there are people born only to pay the price for themselves?
