Coronation Street is about to explode with a dark new twist — and D.S. Lisa Swain is at the center of it all.
Viewers have been left stunned as Lisa begins digging into the mysterious death of her ex-wife Becky, despite warnings to leave the past buried.

The latest episode (No. 11,648, airing August 18, 2025) follows Kit Green secretly investigating a case linked to Becky. His inquiries quickly draw the ire of D.I. Costello, who orders him to back off and even places him on “desk duty” under false pretenses. But Kit refuses to quit — and Lisa is now joining the fight for answers.

What’s driving Lisa’s investigation?

• Becky’s death has long been shrouded in secrecy, with whispers of corruption inside the police force.
• Costello’s behavior has raised suspicions — why is he so desperate to shut this case down?
• Fans are speculating wildly on social media: Was Becky murdered? Did Costello have her killed? Could Becky even still be alive?

As the tension escalates, Lisa teams up with Kit to uncover what really happened. Their partnership hints at explosive confrontations — and maybe even danger from within the force itself.

Corrie viewers have already flooded X (formerly Twitter) with theories:

• “Costello definitely knows more than he’s letting on.”
• “This will end with Lisa and Kit exposing police corruption.”
• “What if Becky’s death was staged — and she’s still out there?”

The storyline is shaping up to be one of Weatherfield’s biggest scandals in years. Will Lisa finally get justice for Becky — or will powerful enemies silence her before the truth comes out?

One thing’s certain: Coronation Street fans won’t want to miss what’s coming next.
