Unexpected Lisa and Kit twist in early Coronation Street ITVX streaming release

The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Coronation Street that hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

Coronation Street’s DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) has been put on restrictive duties at work, after making a terrible mistake.

Last week, the beloved character was very much looking forward to viewing a house with Carla Connor (Alison King) so they could eventually move in together alongside Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin). In tonight’s episode though, when Carla announced that she had organised a visit to the Nazir household, Lisa became distant.

Taking herself off to the cafe, Lisa witnessed troubled teen Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) wind Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) up. Due to her mind being somewhat elsewhere, she ended up arresting Brody, and everyone watching the incident unfold believed she was overreacting.

At the station, Brody was thrown in a cell but tried to tell Swain that he needed the pills that were in his pocket. She didn’t believe him, and it led to Brody suffering a seizure on his own.

When Lisa found out, she was horrified by her mistake. Back at the flat, she told Carla that if a complaint is made, she will more than likely get suspended. After admitting that Craig’s (Colson Smith) death reminded her of Becky’s, Lisa was called back to the station by her boss.

Costello told Lisa that she’d be put on restrictive duties for as long as he thinks is necessary. Swain tried to fight it by saying she arrested Brody for breach of the peace, but she eventually gave in and accepted her fate.

That evening, Lisa visited Kit Green (Jacob Roberts). The dodgy copper confessed to reporting Lisa, and refused to believe the incident with Brody was just a stupid mistake.

Kit pushed Lisa, accusing her of having a vendetta against the Michaelis family.

Lisa told Kit that she’s previously turned a blind eye for him where Mick and ‘other things’ are concerned, and walked away after telling him to watch his back.

We know that Kit doesn’t follow the rules when it comes to the world of policing, but is there more we don’t know about Lisa?

What could she be capable of if Kit pushes her?
