Concerns are mounting for Coronation Street’s detective Lisa Swain following hints in a recent episode that she may be unwell.
Viewers have noticed signs that the officer could be feeling under the weather or run down particularly in the wake of her colleague Craig Tinker’s tragic murder.
Her persistent cough and general appearance of being unwell have raised eyebrows among fans, with a newly released spoiler only fuelling these concerns further.
A spoiler from upcoming scenes seems to suggest that upcoming scenes will feature Carla Connor expressing worry for her partner Lisa.
Lisa’s daughter Betsy Swain is also set to appear in these scenes, which are expected to air next month, reports the Mirror.
Reflecting on this week’s episodes where Lisa appeared out of sorts, and coupling this with the new teaser, viewers are speculating whether a fresh storyline might be unfolding.
Some fans are expressing concern that something might be amiss with Lisa, or that she might be harbouring a secret.
So far, neither the soap nor any released spoilers have indicated a major storyline is in the works, and spoilers for next month have yet to be unveiled.
While there’s no concrete evidence to support theories of an illness plot or a storyline centred around mental health, fans are left wondering if the impact of Craig’s death is taking a toll on Lisa.
The popular detective drama has viewers on edge, as concerns for the show’s protagonist Lisa’s health grow amidst her struggles with guilt and heartache following Craig’s murder.
The character’s evident turmoil has sparked intense viewer speculation online, with some fearing further hospital scenes or a mental health storyline is forthcoming.
Fans have expressed their upset on social media, with one viewer speculating: “MORE HOSPITAL SCENES LOOM? LISA IS ILL? CANT TAKE THIS!” Others are questioning what the future holds, posting remarks such as: “Is it Lisa being ill? Or does she have some sort of breakdown? What’s going on ? What week is this?”.
Another shared their dread, stating: “I can’t take any more sadness,” with several fans calling for a storyline that sees Lisa receiving help and support for her mental well-being.
There’s also speculation surrounding Lisa potentially having to tackle depression or PTSD, as suggested by a viewer who theorised: “Current theory: Lisa is diagnosed with either depression or PTSD and begins taking prescribed medication to help, and doesn’t want Betsy to know… Betsy nearly finds the meds = that teaser.”
Speculation swirled among viewers, with one suggesting Lisa might be on the brink of a breakdown, while others pondered if her recent ordeals meant she’d need support. Some fans speculated that her symptoms pointed towards a “physical” illness.
