Coronation Street fans are speculating that Carla Connor might be unfaithful to her girlfriend DS Lisa Swain.
Carla, portrayed by Alison King, has been a staple of the popular ITV soap since 2006. Over the years, the factory owner has become a beloved character among viewers.
She's had a string of unforgettable storylines, from passionate affairs to struggles with alcoholism, ensuring her time on the iconic street is anything but dull.
Recently, Carla has embarked on a relationship with DS Lisa Swain, played by Vicky Myers. The couple has quickly won over fans, and after a period of playing hard to get, they solidified their relationship at Christmas.
However, it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Carla and Lisa. Earlier this year, Carla's murderous brother Rob, played by Marc Baylis, made a return from prison to donate his kidney to Carla, reports Leicestershire Live.
The plot took a dramatic twist when Rob escaped and later held Carla captive. The ordeal culminated in a shocking shooting incident when Lisa accidentally shot her daughter Betsy, portrayed by Sydney Martin, during a confrontation with Rob - who was subsequently apprehended and returned to prison.
Despite these events, fans can't shake off the feeling that a surprise betrayal is looming for Lisa and Carla, suspecting that the latter might cheat after noticing a 'clue'.
As loyal viewers will remember, Carla has demanded her money back from Daisy (Charlotte Jordan) and Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews) after they swindled it a few years ago to finance the pub.
In the episode aired on Monday (April 14), Carla, finding herself in a financial pickle, confided in Jenny that she's putting the pub up for sale. Jenny relayed this development to Daisy but kept mum about her own aspiration to purchase the boozer thanks to a recent windfall—an investment made by Daisy's dad in Jenny's name years back.
After knocking back a few too many, Daisy had a fiery encounter with Carla, lambasting her for her decision to sell the pub. Amid the clash, eagle-eyed fans spotted a moment of unexpected 'chemistry'—highlighting a point where Daisy caressed Carla's hair. This has led some viewers to predict an illicit romance is brewing between them.
On a Corrie Facebook fan forum, one viewer speculated: "The way Daisy stroked Carla's head before grabbing it.. affair looming?" Echoing the sentiment, another chimed in with: "I said the same!" A third contributed: "Might be onto something yeah." Another excitedly expressed: "I ship them tbh."
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
