Betsy has been at the heart of the drama on the cobbles in iconic scenes which saw her mum, D.S Lisa Swain proposed to Carla Connor earlier this month. They recently purchased a house on Coronation Street, making history as the first same sex-couple to do so.

The 18-year-old has had a whirlwind time in Weatherfield, recently admitting she slept with Dylan while exploring her bond with newcomer troublemaker Brody. However amid her chaotic relationship troubles, her home life has been much more turbulent. Betsy’s mum Becky Swain, who supposedly died four years ago, made a dramatic return.

After Betsy’s dramatic 18th birthday, who witnessed a horrific hit and run, Lisa and new fiancée Carla Connor were looking forward to a quiet night in. But when Carla nipped out to investigate an alarm going off at the factory, Lisa was stunned to be confronted by the ghost from her past.

Becky has arrived on the cobbles just in time to ruffle feathers between Lisa and her new fiancée. It appears that Becky is here to stay, and viewers are wondering if she will try to break up the happy couple.
