Carla Connor (Alison King) is set to be left in a terrifying position in Coronation Street as a face from her recent past arrives and demands cash from her – or they are going to expose a dark secret she has been carrying to Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne). And it’s one that she fears could tear them apart forever.
Carla has managed to get things back on track since breaking down last year and is in a stable place with Peter but there are still questions to be answered about what she went through while she was away from the Street.
When a young woman called Chelsey recognises her in the Rovers, she follows her to the toilets and Carla denies that she knows her.
Chelsey reminds Carla that she was at the same squat when she was sleeping rough during her darkest time and memories that Carla had blocked return to her and leave her reeling.
Chelsey warns her that she wants a grand off her – or she will tell Peter everything that she got up to during that terrible situation and Carla is shellshocked.
Carla finds Chelsey lurking in the back yard and offers to buy her breakfast in Roy’s. But later Chesley returns to the pub with a guy named Jordan who reminds Carla that he ran the squat and she had better pay up for the drugs she destroyed.
As Jordan intimidates Carla and she becomes visibly upset, Peter walks in and demands to know what is going on. Peter drags Jordan out and when he returns Carla comes clean that he and Chelsey are blackmailing her.
Later Jordan returns to the Rovers to collect his money but Carla stands up to him and tells him that he isn’t getting a penny. Jordan is clearly furious but again, he and Chelsey are kicked out and Carla’s decision has been made.
Relieved that she chose to be honest with Peter, Carla gradually starts to feel at ease but after heading out, he later returns to hear a radio report that a man and a woman have been attacked on a nearby estate.
As Peter surreptitiously turns the report off so Carla doesn’t hear, how far has he gone to defend her?
