Coronation Street fans think the know what Lisa Swain will pose to Carla Connor when upcoming emotional scenes unfold – and they’re not all convinced it’s a proposal.

It’s already been a dramatic 2025 for the couple, with things quickly going downhill after they were seen welcoming the New Year in together in the Rovers Return with a kiss.

As viewers of the ITV soap saw, Carla ended up falling seriously ill weeks later, with it discovered she had contracted sepsis and the virus caused damage to her kidney, meaning she needed another transplant.

It led to the return of Carla’s brother, Rob Donovan, with the convicted murderer acting as her kidney donor, only to use it to plot his escape from prison.

As it is, soap, things didn’t go to plan, and Rob ended up attacking Lisa before confronting his sister Carla. As he tried to escape, she used the strength she had and pushed him down a flight of stairs, thinking she killed him. But again, he escaped.

And more drama later ensued when Lisa accidentally shot her own daughter, Betsy Swain, during an armed siege involving Rob, who returned to Weatherfield for one last confrontation with his sister.

Things have since being going well for the Swain-Connor’s but, Lisa has now been hit by the devastation of losing one of her own. She had been by Craig Tinker’s side after he was brutally attacked and left for dead, blaming herself for telling him to get back in uniform and prove DC Kis Green wrong following a difficult start to his CID placement.

Craig has since been seen losing his life and Lisa is set to struggle in the aftermath. In upcoming scenes, Lisa will be seen reflecting on the horrors of the day and when she tells Carla that it’s more important than ever to grab happiness where they can, it’s been hinted that she’ll have a question for her girlfriend.

Previously, fans thought a proposal could be on the cards and while some still think that could be the case, some have had another, completely different idea.

@swarlanations said: “Wondering if Lisa asks Carla to be Betsy’s legal guardian in the event of anything happening to her.” @Bonnie19998796 replied: “This would be adorable actually! I’m here for it.”

@MargheritAxen commented: “If Lisa will ask Carla if she wants to stay with her forever and if one day it’s her and not Craig in this situation, if she wants to take Betsy as a daughter… Then what? #Swarla.” @JuneGhafur added: “I would hope Carla says yes she would be a great mum.”

Others, meanwhile, are heading back to the idea of a house move, as spoilers for next week revealed that Carla is keen know whether Lisa really meant what she said about their future.

@KatieJukesy posted: “Swarlas house, in the middle of the street. Swarlas house.@swoosh286 wrote: “Must be Lisa bringing up the house move… #swarla.” @swarlascrisps added: “This makes it sounds like Lisa might actually bring up the specifics of finding a house together, and I’m not mad about that #swarla.”
