Coronation Street’s Lisa Swain appeared under the weather this week with a teaser for upcoming scenes sparking concern for the popular Weatherfield police detective
There’s worry brewing for Coronation Street’s detective Lisa Swain following hints in a recent episode that she might be feeling under the weather.
Fans picked up on clues suggesting the copper could be feeling a bit peaky, particularly after the devastating murder of her colleague Craig Tinker.
Viewers clocked her coughing and seeming a tad off-colour, with a fresh spoiler only fuelling their concerns.
A spoiler seems to confirm upcoming scenes will show Carla Connor fretting over her partner Lisa. Lisa’s daughter Betsy Swain is also set to feature in these scenes, which are expected to air next month.
Viewers remembered this week’s scenes where Lisa didn’t seem quite herself and, coupling this with the new teaser, they’re speculating if a fresh storyline is in the pipeline. Some fans are anxious that something might be amiss with Lisa, or that she’s keeping something under wraps.
So far, there’s been no word from the soap or any released spoilers hinting at a major storyline, but spoilers for next month are still to come. While there’s no evidence to support theories of an illness plot or a mental health-focused storyline, fans are pondering if Craig’s death is weighing heavily on Lisa, reports the Mirror.
The hardworking detective has been swamped with challenges lately, and the anguish over Craig’s murder has plunged her into a state of distress. Fans are now speculating that this tragedy is behind Lisa’s recent ill health, which could be connected to Carla’s yet-to-be-revealed worries.
Viewers who caught Wednesday’s episode will have noticed hints at Lisa feeling under the weather. The anticipation of an upcoming scene has sparked concerns that there might be a deeper issue at play.
Fans have taken to social media to express their anxiety. One viewer exclaimed: “MORE HOSPITAL SCENES LOOM? LISA IS ILL? CANT TAKE THIS!” Another shared their apprehension: “Is it Lisa being ill? Or does she have some sort of breakdown? What’s going on? What week is this?”.
A third fan expressed their dread on X: “I can’t take any more sadness,” while another hoped for a storyline where Lisa seeks help: “Mental health storyline for Lisa, please, we need to see her getting help, dealing with her grief, and building herself back up.”

While one fan voiced their unease: “Oh I’m not liking the sound of this,” another simply wished: “LET HER BE OKAY.”
Speculation about Lisa’s condition is rife, with one theory suggesting: “Current theory: Lisa is diagnosed with either depression or PTSD and begins taking prescribed medication to help, and doesn’t want Betsy to know… Betsy nearly finds the meds = that teaser.”
Speculation and theories continued to flood in, with one viewer pondering whether Lisa was heading for a breakdown, while some thought she’d require support following her recent ordeal. There were also guesses about a “physical” illness linked to her cough and cold symptoms.
