This article contains spoilers for tonight’s Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.
Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) has finally confessed her love for Carla Connor (Alison King) in Coronation Street, and we’re over the moon.
Lisa and Carla made their relationship official in November, and have faced a few minor hiccups along the way.
However, recent scenes revealed that Carla planned to end the relationship altogether, after being rushed to hospital with sepsis.
With Lisa having already suffered the loss of wife Becky, Carla was terrified that she would run after learning of Carla’s condition, and decided that she would end things before Lisa got the chance.
When Lisa called to ask Carla where she was, the factory boss made out that she was at the airport, planning to spend her birthday in Ireland with best friend Michelle Connor.
However, her lies soon unravelled when Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) returned to Weatherfield and set Lisa on the right path.
With both Ryan and Lisa in the dark about Carla’s condition, they confronted Roy, who was under strict instructions not to tell Lisa what had happened.
Asking good-natured Roy to lie was never going to have the desired outcome, and soon Carla was face to face with Lisa in the hospital.
Lisa was adamant that she didn’t like being lied to, but when Carla refused to divulge the true extent of her illness, the detective sergeant stormed off to work.
Later, Carla was left shaken when the doctors revealed that her kidney had been damaged by the infection.
Carla questioned the next steps, with transplants and dialysis being discussed, leading Carla to worry about how drastically her life expectancy might decrease.
