Coronation Street fans ‘work out’ who Becky really was after Matty’s telling comment

Coronation Street fans have developed a theory about the true identity of DS Lisa Swain’s late partner, Becky, following a confrontation with the troublesome Matty Radcliffe. Earlier in 2024, it was revealed that Lisa’s former partner had been killed while on duty.

The couple share a daughter, Betsy, and it’s evident that their relationship has been strained since Becky’s passing. However, viewers are now witnessing Lisa cautiously beginning a new relationship with Carla Connor, initially surprising Betsy, but the trio seem to be gradually accepting the idea of becoming a stable family unit.

Despite these changes, Lisa remains haunted by her past. The year concluded with a stressed Lisa disclosing a burst pipe and a flooded flat, leading Carla to invite her and Betsy to stay over for New Year.

As they moved into her flat, Carla discovered files related to Becky’s death among Lisa’s belongings, which made her feel uncomfortable. Later, Lisa surprised Carla with a romantic lunch at the café, but an urgent call about an incident disrupted the atmosphere.

After returning to the street with a bruised face and split lip, Lisa reassured Carla she was fine and ready for a drink. In the Rovers, after the countdown to 2025, Carla confessed her love for her new partner, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Wednesday’s episode (January 1) picked up in the new year with Roy growing concerned for Carla, who seemed disoriented and was hearing things. Despite his advice to rest, he discovered her barely conscious on her living room floor and called an ambulance.

At the hospital, the doctor suspected Carla might be battling sepsis. Meanwhile, Lisa confronted Matty, who had just been released, in the precinct, demanding to know his whereabouts on the night Becky was killed. Matty made a comment about Becky, saying she wouldn’t be proud of Lisa, which led to Lisa lashing out before Kit intervened.

However, some fans believe there’s more to Matty’s words. One person wrote: “Random theory but what if Becky was a bent copper. The fact he specifically says “Your bex would be so disappointed in you” using Lisa’s nickname for Becky and says “thinking you were one of the straight ones” as if maybe Becky wasn’t? Am I going insane? Probably #corrie #swarla.”

Another X user said: “No i agree, theres deffo more to bex and this story.” A third person shared their thoughts, saying: “Thought the same, I’m sure something is going to come out that makes Lisa not have Becky as such a saint.”

A fourth chimed in with: “I don’t know why but I honestly think that Becky was involved in some dodgy stuff. I think Lisa is gonna get a bombshell dropped on her when she finds out the truth about Becky’s death and dealings. I think Kit is involved too like he’s always there #Corrie #Swarla.”

Coronation Street is on ITV at 8pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday and available to stream from 7am on ITVX
