Coronation Street fans have predicted that Carla Connor could be killed off in the coming year as part her 20th anniversary on the world’s longest-running TV soapCoronation Street fans have predicted that Carla Connor could be killed off in the coming year. The Underworld boss, who has been played by Alison King since 2006, is currently being held hostage by Becky Swain, and fans have witnessed her being tied up in the corrupt police officer’s wardrobe.

Earlier this year, Becky came back from the dead after it was thought that she had been killed in the line of duty, and she has since gone to extreme lengths to try to win her wife, Lisa, back from Carla. Viewers were given a little bit of hope on Monday night’s episode when Carla broke free after she managed to get out of the cupboard and knock Becky out, but it was short-lived.

As the latest episode aired on Tuesday night, it transpired that Carla had not escaped, and Becky was tying her back up in the wardrobe. When Becky (Amy Cudden) insisted that Carla would be “out of the picture soon,” the businesswoman proclaimed she had no fear for her life because if she was going to be killed, it would have happened by now. It was then that Becky coldly reminded her that she needed her kidney medication to live, and if she withheld that, she would die pretty soon anyway.

Becky then went back to Betsy and Lisa at number six, and promptly fainted on the living room floor as her head started to bleed. An ambulance was called, and once in hospital, she told her wife and daughter: “I didn’t want to tell you, but I was attacked. Curtis’ lot,” and Lisa (Vicky Myers) believed her lies.

As her future hangs in the balance yet again, fans of the soap will remember that this is not the first time that Carla has found herself kidnapped. In 2010, Carla’s now-late husband, Tony Gordon, returned to Underworld from prison and, seeking revenge, he held Carla hostage along with fellow Street legend Hayley Cropper in the factory as he set it on fire.

Carla, the amount of times she’s being hit over the head.” A third fan predicted that it could finally be curtains for Carla, who was once hailed as the modern-day version of original Street icon Elsie Tanner by creator Tony Warren, as she reaches a milestone on the show.

They wrote: “The constant focus of Carla not getting her medication is making me very nervous that her 20th year on the cobbles is actually going to be her exit,” and one big fan of Carla and Lisa, who have become known as Swarla, said: “i watched the proposal & breakup last night. Stupid thing to do AK & VM are such good actors that u canfeel the joy & pain I cried & woke up depressed as hell, hoping 4 a happy end.”
