Coronation Street's Costello and Becky 'hiding truth about fake death cover-up'

Fans are convinced Coronation Street's latest episode gave away there is much more to be revealed about Becky Swain's return.

DI Costello has helped cover up her fake death for the past four years, with he and Becky telling Lisa what really happened in 2021 in scenes across Friday and Monday. Lisa was told where her 'dead' wife Becky had been all this time, and why she and the others faked her death.

When Lisa confronted her boss Costello on Monday, she demanded answers and threatened to leak the cover-up to the press. It was clear Costello was scared about this, and was determined to keep a cover on things.

But he was also scared about admitting everything at the police station, as if it wasn't a safe space to talk. Soon he gave Lisa a story of what went down, his involvement and why they claimed Becky had died.

There was so much emphasis from both Costello and Becky about needing to protect her family. But fans were not buying what he was saying at all, believing both of them or even just Costello were spinning a fake version of events.

Fans now think Costello is hiding even more, and there could be so much to the story that is yet to be confirmed. So is Becky being in hiding and Costello's involvement all linked to something much darker than they have let on?

Fans certainly think so, with one fan posting on social media: "'Otherwise what was she protecting this whole time?' Well Costello I'm sure we'll find out soon enough because this Becky lass is evil, selfish and manipulative."

A second fan said: "Something doesn't add up to me it feels like it's more than just protecting Becky, protecting her family, and Costello is hiding something even bigger. Maybe Becky is in on it too, maybe not."

A third fan wrote: "Yeah his phone call at the start of the episode... there's definitely more to this! They're still lying. Wouldn't be surprised now if it's Kit and Carla that end up figuring it all out!"

A further theory read: "100%, if there was anything legit about it, he wouldn't be so dodgy about talking about it at the station." Another fan wrote: "I don't believe a word Costello told Lisa. There is definitely more to the story, and how much does Becky really know? What is Costello hiding?"

The comments kept on coming with another saying: "This is only the beginning of the story and Becky and Costello are definitely up to something and the truth will come out." Another fan said: "It’s in Costello’s interests to push Lisa back to Becky. This is all about shutting her down so they can continue to get away with murder!"
