Coronation Street’s Carla Connor is adamant that Becky Swain has waged war against her next week, as she’s marched down the police station under suspicion of fraudulent activity. Is Carla right to suspect that Lisa’s ex has set her up?

Outside the factory, Carla lovingly explains to Lisa that she’s planned a special day full of treats to celebrate the anniversary of their first kiss. But their happiness is short-lived when she and Lisa are approached by a police officer, who explains that someone has tipped them off that fraud is being committed at her workplace.

Outraged, Carla insists to Lisa that Becky must be the complainant in question, before heading off to defend herself. Can Carla prove that she’s a victim of a false accusation?

“Carla is beside herself with anger,” our Corrie spy reveals. “What was supposed to be a perfect day remembering her first kiss with Lisa is ruined, all because some meddler wants to make her life a misery.

“Just before the policewoman guides her away from the factory, Carla makes it very clear to Lisa that she believes Becky is the only person who would’ve done such a thing. And it’s not hard to see where she’s coming from considering the bitter rivalry between the two women.”

At the police station, Kit Green eventually confirms to Carla that she’s free to go, given that there’s no evidence to back up the report. However, Carla isn’t ready to put the ordeal behind her so quickly.

Still certain that Becky was the one sullying her reputation and business, Carla is determined to have it out with the former copper. But what will Lisa make of it all?

“We’re talking about Carla Connor here,” our insider continues. “She isn’t going to accept defeat and keep quiet about what just happened. But the situation puts Lisa in a really tricky position.

“If she tries to broker peace, Carla will feel unsupported – and any tension between her and Lisa plays right into Becky’s hands, whether she’s guilty of what Carla’s accusing her of or not.”

As Carla seethes with rage, just how nasty will things become between her and Becky? And how will Lisa cope with the intense feud?
