Coronation Street lines up new conflict for Swarla in ITVX edition

Due to the prolonged sadness Lisa feels over the loss of her spouse, Becky, her job as a detective has been influenced, causing changes in her behavior. As a result, her superior, Detective Inspector (DI) Costello, has mandated that she seek counseling to address these issues.

It was evident that Lisa didn’t prefer to obey, yet she had no alternative if she wanted to preserve her means of income.

In the end, Lisa informed Carla that she intended to continue with the therapy sessions. However, she was unwilling to share personal details with the counselor, Floyd.

Simultaneously, Lisa and Carla decided to jointly purchase a house, but found themselves locked in a competitive bidding process with Debbie Webster for Yasmeen Metcalfe’s property. (Sue Devaney plays Debbie, while Shelley King portrays Yasmeen)

However, the mystery deepens in the Monday episode of Coronation Street on July 21st, 2025, as Michael Bailey (played by Ryan Russell) discovers something quite peculiar when he uses Carla’s laptop at Underworld.

When Michael criticizes Carla’s plan by highlighting its weaknesses, Carla isn’t overly pleased with his meddling.

As a dedicated movie buff, I can tell you that if you want to catch up with the latest twists in Carla’s story, you should tune in at 8pm on ITV1 or stream it on ITVX. Here’s a hint: what Carla is hiding has a significant impact on Lisa and her current situation.

In my humble opinion as a movie critic, if the feisty officer, let’s call her Lisa, were to uncover the secrets of the enigmatic factory owner, Carla, it might ignite some high-stakes drama. The tension between these two headstrong individuals could potentially escalate into an explosive standoff, given their contrasting temperaments and roles in this fictional world.

Will Carla go ahead with her secrecy?

In the meantime, Debbie, suffering from dementia, catches Ryan Connor off guard by planting a kiss on his lips as a way of expressing gratitude for his help in sorting out an issue with a hotel guest, leaving him quite bewildered.

How might Debbie respond when Ryan shares his concerns about her symptoms with her partner, Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan)?
