Carla tells Lisa she's sold the Rovers to someone called Ben.

While it sounds as though Carla is unaware of Ben Driscoll's (Aaron McCusker) connections, we know that he is actually engaged to Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley).

Eva will be taking charge of the pub with her partner and his mother, Maggie (Pauline McLynn), later this month.

Meanwhile, Carla admits she's worried about going to Ireland as she doesn't want to leave Lisa alone with Becky, and Lisa questions if Carla trusts her.

Lisa assures Carla she loves her and has no interest in Becky.

With Carla away, Betsy persuades Becky to model some of her designs for her college project, and as Becky struts around, Lisa can't help smiling and joining in.

When Betsy films them and uploads it to her socials, though, Becky panics that people will recognise her.

Betsy later stays out all night, and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) tells Lisa her daughter has been arrested.

As Betsy sits alone in a cell, tired and confused, Lisa blames Becky's sudden reappearance for causing Betsy to struggle once more.

Becky is stung, while Betsy is interviewed and told that, according to DI Costello, she damaged a police car, resisted arrest and tried to attack him.

Betsy refuses to comment, while Costello spells out to Becky that she needs to disappear again, or things will be even worse for Betsy.

Has DI Costello set this whole thing up?

2. Theo Silverton cheats as Todd Grimshaw fears bowel cancer results?

Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) encourages George to support Todd, and Todd is grateful to have him as he heads in to see the doctor.

In the Bistro, Theo and Gary Windass (Mikey North) meet with Pete (Andrew Hayden-Smith) to discuss a potential contract.

The next day, Todd nurses a hangover and heads home to face Theo's wrath, and apologises for staying at Billy's while insisting nothing happened.

But as Pete emerges from the bathroom, Todd is reeling. Has Theo cheated?

Theo is remorseless as he accuses Todd of sneaking around, and Todd explains his health scare.

When a client shows them some 'miracle pills' that promise strong hair, nails and weight loss, Hope is impressed.

But Bethany warns that these companies are only after money and don't care about people's health, referencing her own weight loss surgery as an example.

As the client leaves, she realises her pills are missing, and Bethany accuses Hope, ordering her to empty her bag.

When Hope refuses, Bethany tries to grab her bag, causing her stoma bag to split.
