Coronation Street fans have always been captivated by the twists and turns of Weatherfield’s police drama, but the latest developments in DS Lisa Swain’s search for the truth about her late partner, Becky, have left viewers on the edge of their seats. After weeks of tension and suspicion, it seems the true enemy behind Becky’s death could be someone entirely unexpected. As the drama intensifies, fans are now questioning whether Detective Constable Kit Green is the real villain, or if he’s merely a pawn in a much larger game of corruption.
The Rise of the Swain and Green Rivalry
From the moment Kit Green (played by Jacob Roberts) made his first appearance in Coronation Street, there was an unmistakable rivalry between him and DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers). The two have always been at odds, with tensions running high as they navigated their working relationship. As Swain’s investigation into her partner Becky’s tragic death deepened, viewers started to notice the subtle, yet significant, moments that hinted at something darker lurking beneath the surface.
Kit’s actions have raised suspicions, but it wasn’t until recent episodes that things really started to heat up. Lisa’s emotional struggle over her wife Becky’s death, and the lack of closure surrounding it, led her to begin digging into the corruption investigation that might have led to Becky’s demise. This quest for answers brings Lisa into conflict with several key players, including her boss, Costello (played by a guest actor), and her therapist Floyd (portrayed by a guest actor).
Floyd’s Suspicious Actions
In an intriguing scene from August 1st’s episode, Lisa opened up to Floyd during a therapy session about her concerns that Becky’s death was linked to the ongoing corruption investigation. Floyd’s response, however, raised red flags for many viewers. After the session, Floyd made a cryptic phone call, stating, “I think I’ve made a breakthrough with Swain,” without explaining who he was talking to. Fans immediately took to social media to question Floyd’s true motives, suggesting that he might be part of the conspiracy.
One Twitter user commented, “That Floyd is dodgy as hell. The fact he referred to her as ‘Swain’ instead of ‘DS Swain’ and called someone immediately instead of writing a report or email… it all screams corruption.” This moment, along with Floyd’s overall behavior, has prompted fans to theorize that he could be working against Lisa, perhaps as part of a larger network trying to cover up the truth about Becky’s death.
Costello’s Involvement and the Growing Suspicion
Later in the episode, Costello was seen on the phone, and viewers couldn’t help but wonder if he was somehow involved in the conspiracy as well. Lisa, ever determined to uncover the truth, took matters into her own hands and sneaked into Costello’s office to search his emails. What she found was shocking: a request from Kit Green to access Becky’s case file. This discovery led Lisa to confront Kit, accusing him of being obsessed with Becky and not trusting him anymore.
However, this confrontation only deepened the mystery. Kit denied any wrongdoing, and Lisa seemed more confused than ever. In a conversation with her friend Carla, Lisa confessed her growing distrust of Kit, yet she continued to search for answers. Fans took to social media, suggesting that Lisa’s suspicions might be misplaced and that Kit might actually be the one person she can trust. After all, as one fan put it, “Kit will ironically turn out to be the only one Lisa can trust. Carla, Lisa, and ultimately Kit will work together to unearth the true extent of corruption and what happened to Becky.”
Is Logan Radcliffe Really the Key?
Another major clue that fans have latched onto involves Logan Radcliffe, the man Lisa has been investigating in connection with Becky’s death. In the episode, Logan seemed to hint that there is more to Becky’s story than anyone realizes, with his mention of “Tia Wardley,” which sent Carla searching online. While nothing substantial came of the search, viewers believe this could be the next piece of the puzzle that leads to the truth.
Several viewers theorize that Logan, while initially appearing to be an antagonist, might actually be a key figure in uncovering the full story behind Becky’s tragic death. Fans suspect that Logan could be just another pawn in the conspiracy, and that the real villains are still lurking in the shadows.
Theories and Speculation: Is Becky Still Alive?
With so many unanswered questions and the mystery of Becky’s death still unresolved, fans have been speculating about the possibility that Becky might still be alive. The idea that Becky faked her death to protect herself from the corruption investigation is gaining traction among some viewers. After all, Becky had made enemies within the police force, and the threat of her being silenced for good could explain her sudden disappearance.
One user on Reddit shared their thoughts: “I’m with you. Floyd and Costello are definitely involved. Logan is just a pawn. They’ve done a great job of making us think Kit is the bad guy, but he’ll end up being the one who helps Lisa uncover the truth. And maybe, just maybe, Becky is still alive.” This theory has sparked much debate, with some fans convinced that Coronation Street is setting the stage for a major reveal.
Conclusion: The Mystery Continues
As Lisa Swain’s quest for justice continues, the stakes have never been higher. With Floyd, Costello, and Kit all under suspicion, viewers are eagerly awaiting the next twist in this gripping storyline. Whether Lisa can uncover the truth about Becky’s death, or if new enemies will emerge to thwart her, one thing is certain: Coronation Street is keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Will Lisa expose the full extent of the corruption, and could Becky’s shocking return be in the cards? Only time will tell, but viewers are in for one wild ride.
