The emotional fallout from Becky’s death continues to reverberate through Coronation Street, and at the center of it all is DS Lisa Swain—whose pain has been as heavy as the secrets she’s been carrying. Her sessions with therapist Floyd were meant to provide clarity, but instead, they ignited suspicion, fear, and a flurry of speculation. Now, with actor Christopher Brand confirming his final episode has aired, fans are left reflecting on a character that stirred unease before earning unexpected sympathy.

Lisa’s descent into doubt and grief has been slow and agonising. Forced into therapy after freezing during a robbery, her internal crisis worsened when she skipped a session to visit the grave of her late partner Becky—on what would have been their anniversary. That grief was compounded by a lingering, corrosive belief: that Becky’s death wasn’t an accident, but a consequence of the corruption investigation she was entangled in. And Lisa, ever the dutiful officer, was left with too many unanswered questions.

So when Floyd, the therapist assigned to help her, was seen making a cryptic phone call—telling an unnamed party that he believed he’d “made a breakthrough with Swain”—alarm bells rang across the fandom. Was he working for Costello? Was he manipulating Lisa under the guise of therapy? Was the show about to unveil a conspiracy that would shatter her already fragile trust in the institution she serves?

But the twist never came.

Instead, actor Christopher Brand confirmed on Instagram that his stint as Floyd was officially over. Posing outside the Rovers Return, he wrote, “The last episode of my stint. Genuinely loved doing it – they’re all lovely up there.” With that, the fears of a darker storyline faded… and fans, to their own surprise, began to change their minds.

Reactions flooded social media. Many viewers admitted they’d been too quick to judge. Some even hailed Floyd’s scenes as among the most powerful in recent Corrie history, especially as they dealt with real-world themes of grief, therapy, and post-traumatic recovery. One fan wrote: “Very relieved. Was not a fan of any suggestion that a counsellor was ‘compromised’ during such a big mental health story.”

As Lisa slowly works her way back to the job she once held with pride, her relationship with Carla seems to be gaining steady ground. Their recent decision to move out together felt like a hopeful sign. Yet the shadows of the past, especially Becky’s unresolved death, still loom large. Floyd’s exit may mark the end of one chapter in Lisa’s healing journey—but the road ahead promises more revelations.
