She hasn't had an easy time since, dealing with Roy Cropper being falsely imprisoned over Lauren Bolton's disappearance, and covering for nephew Bobby when he gave false evidence to the police.

Both situations have seen her cross paths with DS Lisa Swain on numerous occasions, and Coronation Street fans have been convinced there could be something romantic brewing between them.

Despite the fact that Carla has only ever had relationships with men while in Weatherfield, new spoilers seem to suggest the fans could have been on to something.

It all starts with Lisa's daughter Betsy trying to open up to her mum about Mason’s latest threats.
