Following DS Lisa Swain’s daughter Betsy’s questioning of the detective on her other mother, viewers of Coronation Street are certain that they have already figured out how her spouse died.
Fans of Corrie believe they have figured out the enigmatic circumstances behind the death of DS Lisa Swain’s spouse, suggesting a dark past.
Although the investigator on The Street has remained silent regarding the circumstances behind Betsy’s other mother’s death, she has mentioned her name in passing. Betsy appeared to have deep-seated grief for her deceased parent at the root of her recent rage upon learning of her mother’s lighthearted banter with Carla Connor.
Reddit users have been speculating for a while now, claiming to have pieced together the sad circumstances surrounding Lisa’s ex-partner’s death and thinking Lisa might have been involved. “We haven’t been told the exact details, but she died in the line of duty,” surmised one user.
Adding to this, someone else said, “Ooh, two theories. A, Lisa shares some of the blame for what transpired. B. She died in a way that was sacrificial, to protect Betsy or 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?” is the next comment that was made, according to the Liverpool Echo.
A fan elaborated on the theory, saying, “After yesterday’s episode, I was also thinking this. Before that, I thought it was a sickness. Betsy’s behavior and attitude could be explained by something more traumatic.”
“She died in the line of duty, she was probably stabbed or shot during a raid and died from that,” wondered one observer who was not involved in the discussion.
Although Lisa’s ex-partner’s identity is still unknown beyond her name Becky, astute admirers are sure they have figured it out. There is a lot of conjecture that the character might be Katherine Kelly’s portrayal of Becky McDonald, the former spouse of Steve McDonald.
Fan theories have taken the internet by storm. One such theory goes something like this: “I’ve said it all along… ‘Becky’ is actually Becky McDonald.” They’re all so alike in appearance!” then someone else adding, “Now this would be a plot twist.”
Fans of the show have expressed curiosity further with remarks like “Why am I so engaged in the Swain family? I’d like to learn more about Becky, Lisa’s wife. How did she pass away? What mother owned Betsy? I’m totally engaged in this.
