Past Heartache and Failed Attempts
Lisa had been the first to raise the subject of marriage, asking Carla to marry her not long after Craig Tinker’s tragic death. That loss had stirred painful memories of her late wife Becky, and Carla felt the timing wasn’t right for such a life-changing step. But things began to change when Carla herself started to consider making the proposal.
Unfortunately, her early efforts didn’t go to plan. On her first attempt, she prepared to surprise Lisa with a ring hidden in a champagne glass, only to discover that Becky had once used that exact gesture when proposing. The coincidence left Carla shaken, and she put her idea on hold. Her next chance came with a little help from Betsy Swain, Lisa’s daughter, who encouraged the proposal.
Just as Carla was about to ask, David Platt stormed in with yet another complaint about his recycling bin, derailing the moment entirely. The chaos grew worse when Lisa stumbled across a piece of paper with “Tia Wardley” written in Carla’s handwriting, sparking a heated row between them.
For a while, it seemed the pair were further apart than ever. Behind the scenes, Betsy intervened and spoke with Lisa, while Carla quietly prepared herself for another shot at securing their future.
The Magical Moment Finally Arrives
In the latest episode, Lisa revealed to Ryan Connor that she had a surprise of her own in mind and needed his help to pull it off. She continued to act as if Carla had upset her, but her true plan soon came to light. Outside Underworld, sirens and a megaphone gathered everyone’s attention. Carla looked puzzled when Ryan appeared with the megaphone, but the confusion ended as Lisa stepped out of the car and dropped to one knee.
Betsy tossed her the ring box, and with the factory staff cheering them on, Carla pulled Lisa to her feet. The pair exchanged rings in front of their friends, sealing their engagement at last. The celebrations continued at the Rovers, where family and close friends raised a glass to the happy couple. After three failed proposals, Lisa and Carla had finally found their way to each other in a moment full of joy.

Still, happiness didn’t come without shadows. While Carla and Lisa embraced their new future, Lisa later had a serious conversation with Kit Green. He revealed that Logan Radcliffe had been moved to a segregated prison unit soon after Carla’s earlier visit, raising suspicions about who might be pulling strings behind the scenes. Kit suggested DI Costello could be involved, and Lisa took his concerns seriously.
Back at his office, DI Costello answered a phone call. It becomes clear that Kit was indeed circling closer to the truth. He admitted that he believed Lisa might be the one encouraging Kit to dig deeper. For Carla and Lisa, the engagement marks a long-awaited high point, but danger may not be far behind. With Costello’s secrets closing in, their joy could soon collide with trouble neither of them expected. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and spoilers.
