Coronation Street's Kit Green saves Carla Connor from hostage situation to end Becky Swain terror in ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for tonight's episode of Coronation Street, which airs at 7.30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.

Meanwhile, as the family checked out of the Chariot Square Hotel, Lisa handed over her new phone number to the receptionist and asked her to pass it onto Carla's nephew Ryan (Ryan Prescott).

Luckily, Kit's colleagues had found Becky's car abandoned on some wasteland, and when he rushed to the scene he made a shocking discovery.
Carla was tied and bound inside of a shipping container, but she wasn't prepared to give up on Lisa and let her leave the country. She jumped into his car, refused medical attention and told Kit that she'd seen a ferry stamp from Hull to Rotterdam in Becky's passport.
The two darted off in the direction of Yorkshire, with Carla deciding to take the risk of calling the number Ryan had retrieved from Lisa.
She answered, pretending that Ryan was on the other end of the line, but Becky knew the truth and took her eyes off the wheel. The vehicle then went flying towards another on a dark and stormy road near Hotten...
