Coronation Street enthusiasts are spinning theories regarding the mysterious death of DS Lisa Swain's partner, with suggestions of a sinister involvement emerging.
Amidst hushed tones about Betsy's other mum's demise on the cobbles, speculation is rife in online forums. With Betsy reeling over her mum's flirty antics with Carla Connor, fans deduce her angst stems from deeper pain linked to her loss.
A savvy Redditor posited: "She died in the line of duty, we haven't been told the exact details."
This spurred a succession of fan theories, proclaiming, "Ooh two possible theories. A, something happened that Lisa is somewhat responsible for. B, she died to protect Lisa or Betsy (or some kind of sacrificial death)."
Another chimed in, hinting at a burden of remorse carried by Lisa: "I wonder if it's the first one because Lisa seems to hold a lot of guilt for it and didn't the officer say she was impulsive?", reports the Liverpool Echo.
Further fuel was added by another viewer who, after the latest episode, queried: "I was wondering this too after yesterday's episode. Prior to that I assumed it was illness. Something more traumatic could help explain Betsy's personality and acting out."
A diverging theory threw in a dramatic twist: "She died in the line of duty, she was probably stabbed or shot during a raid and died from that?" speculated another follower of the beloved British soap.
The mystery surrounding Lisa's former partner remains, as her identity has been disclosed only by her first name Becky. Nevertheless, astute viewers believe they've pieced together the puzzle.
Whispers among fans suggest that Becky McDonald Steve McDonald's ex-wife from Coronation Street, played by the talented Katherine Kelly is the woman in the shadows.
Eager fans flocked to social media with speculation, one stating: "I've said it all along... 'Becky' is actually Becky McDonald. They all look so similar!" and another chiming in with: "Now this would be a plot twist."
The intrigue didn't stop there, as more viewers voiced their curiosity online: "Why am I so invested in the Swain family? I want to know more about Lisa's wife Becky. How did she die? Which mum had Betsy? I'm fully into this."
