Fans of *Coronation Street* are abuzz with anticipation as news breaks of a potential return for a beloved character. This comes a decade after their original debut, aiming to confront the villainous Becky Swain. The intrigue surrounding this plot twist has captured the attention of viewers.

Becky Swain’s Controversial Storyline

Becky Swain, portrayed by Amy Cudden, initially debuted in September 2023. Her character was introduced as the supposedly deceased wife of Lisa Swain, played by Vicky Myers. In 2021, Becky was believed to have died after a tragic incident where an assailant struck her with a getaway car during a chase.

Following Becky’s purported death, Lisa and their daughter, Betsy, played by Sydney Martin, struggled to cope with the loss. Fast forward to 2023, Lisa became engaged to Carla Connor, a character brought to life by Alison King. Just when it seemed that happiness was on the horizon, Becky resurfaced, revealing she had been living under witness protection after an undercover operation went awry.

Drama Unfolds as Becky Returns

Since her return, Becky has not shied away from causing chaos. She is determined to reclaim her family, posing a direct threat to Carla’s relationship with Lisa. Recently, during a Halloween party at the Rover’s Return, Becky attempted to disrupt their bond by kissing Lisa.

The tension escalated further when corrupt police officer DI Costello, played by Daon Broni, warned Becky that she needed to return to Spain for her safety. However, Becky made it clear that she wouldn’t leave without her family, setting the stage for intensified conflict.

Speculation of a Returning Icon

The suspense surrounding Becky’s journey has led fans to speculate about the return of a previous *Coronation Street* icon. Many believe that Kate Connor, portrayed by Faye Brooks, could make a comeback to assist Carla in handling Becky. Fans shared their hopes on social media platforms, emphasizing their fondness for the character. One user suggested, “They should bring back Kate Connor; I’m sure she would help Carla take down Becky!”

• Kate made her first appearance in 2015.
• She last appeared in 2019 after the passing of Rana Habeeb.
• Brooks has expressed interest in returning to the show.

In 2021, Faye Brooks mentioned in an interview that although her character left, she remains open to reprising her role in the future. “I’m not dead. I didn’t die! Hopefully, I will get to go back one day,” she said.
