Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) has been struggling recently in Coronation Street. The police officer was deeply affected by the tragic death of colleague and friend Craig Tinker (Colson Smith), and it was clear that his death brought up some difficult emotions from her past.
Lisa’s wife Becky, who was also a police officer, was killed in the line of duty as Craig was. She had been chasing a suspect who jumped into a getaway car and mowed Becky down. She died at the scene.
Following Craig’s death, we learned more about what happened to Becky, as Lisa opened up to her new partner, Carla Connor (Alison King). She explained that, before her death, Becky was being investigated by the anti-corruption unit.
The stress of being under investigation had taken its toll on their relationship and they’d argued on the day Becky was killed, meaning that Lisa has to live with the knowledge that she and her wife were on bad terms on that day and she’ll never have a chance to make things right.
Although the investigation was dropped, Becky didn’t get the funeral that she deserved as the cloud of the investigation was still hanging over her.
The whole issue obviously affects Lisa and Becky’s daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) as well.
After going through some of Lisa’s papers, Betsy became determined to find out the truth about what happened to her mum and even visited Logan Radcliffe (Harry Lowbridge) in prison. It’s known that Logan and his brother Matty (Seamus McGoff) were involved in Becky’s death.
Betsy didn’t get the answers she was hoping for as Logan wasted her time with a made-up story.

For Lisa, the emotional fallout of what happened to Becky is making it difficult for her to move on with her life, although she has found love again with Carla.
And it’s Carla who, in upcoming episodes, tries to convince Lisa that she might find therapy helpful in dealing with what’s happened.
Lisa isn’t convinced, but agrees to give it a try. At her first therapy session, however, she’s totally thrown when the therapist steers the conversation to Becky and it’s clear Lisa’s feeling very upset and defensive.
