is she not returning to her country manor now all better and jobless
She decided to sell her house in Devon when she was recovering from her transplant but so far she hasn't got herself a job.
Am I the only one who doesn’t want Carla to get back with peter :lol:
She owned the factory but now that she's made Aidan the sole owner she just seems to float around the Street or make fun of people with Michelle (although that seems to be coming to an end soon...). If she had a job she wouldn't have flings out of boredom, which is what she did with both Daniel and Ali. And no, I don't really want her back with Peter either but it might keep her away from the other younger characters that she hasn't slept with yet...
would not expect glamour puss carla to have ugg boots
using peter to get factory and susie, want her to lose in both battles
Coronation Street star Ben Price has revealed that Carla Connor will try to blackmail Nick Tilsley when she discovers the truth about the mysterious Elsa.
Last night's episodes saw Carla (Alison King) confront Nick over his secrecy after discovering that he's a joint partner in a restaurant business in Nottingham.
Desperate to cover his tracks, Nick told Carla that he only got involved to help out a friend with a tax dodge. Sadly, his lies won't keep Carla off the scent for long, as Elsa will finally arrive on the cobbles in Friday night's episodes (November 9).
Former Casualty star Kelly Harrison has been cast in the role of Elsa, who's expected to be revealed as Nick's secret wife.
When Carla finds out that Nick hasn't been entirely honest with her – and especially not with his love interest Leanne Battersby – she realises she can use this situation to her own advantage.
Ben, who returned to the role of Nick last month, explained: "It's not good for Nick when Elsa turns up. He doesn't want an associate from his other life sniffing round this one. He worries everything is going to be blown apart. When the two lives collide, it's not going to be good, is it?
"Nick reinvented himself when he went to Nottingham and now this person is going to realise who the real Nick is. And on the flip side, he has not been totally truthful in Weatherfield about his life in Nottingham. Because of the factory, Carla has a vested interest in trying get to the truth."
He continued: "Carla is on the scent of something and she sees it as a way of levering Nick out of the factory. She also thinks she can maybe blackmail him and keep his money. That is Carla all over!
"Nick is a bit arrogant, though. He thinks he can get out of situations and rise above it all."
The arrival of Elsa comes just when it seems that Nick is making progress with Leanne, but if the truth comes out, everything could be thrown into jeopardy again.
Ben added: "Leanne is ready to give it another try. She is blissfully unaware of any other side of Nick's life. They have really gone through it and they keep coming back to each other, believing that this time it will be a bit better.
"Before it was a bit unbalanced. Nick's mess was worse than Leanne's, but she has messed up a lot recently with Steve, so things are bit more evenly balanced now.
"They both have things they would rather not talk about and they feel able to meet in the middle and try again. They are not going to try and force it to work but they are willing to see how it goes."

Coronation Street has announced plans for Carla Connor to have her own special standalone episode next year.
Carla (Alison King) will take centre stage in the aftermath of the upcoming roof collapse at Underworld, which leads to the popular character experiencing problems with her mental health.
It's been announced that the factory will be rocked by a massive stunt in March 2019 as the roof caves in thanks to criminal activity from a mystery character.
As the early weeks of the storyline see the finger of blame wrongly pointed at Carla, she struggles with the backlash and suffers a sad breakdown.
Speaking to Digital Spy and others at a press event, Corrie's new producer Iain MacLeod explained: "Our viewers will know the factory roof collapse is a whodunit quite early in the story, but our characters won't. Somebody operating in the shadows has done this thing.
"So the early stages of this story will see Carla as a massive pariah. At the beginning, the roof collapse seems to emerge from a workaholism story for Carla. She determines that her life's priority is work and being a professional woman. She wants to focus on the factory and Aidan's legacy.
"That drives Carla into making some mistakes, that will lead to the factory falling in basically! She alienates a lot of people. First it will look like an accident, then we'll start to reveal that it's not.
"What happens impacts massively on Carla's mental health. We're doing something a little bit stylised, like with the Ashley story I did at Emmerdale, but not quite as extreme as Corrie's take on that.
"It's a standalone episode that will be mental health focused and Carla focused. It will also be the reveal to the audience of who was behind the factory roof collapsing."
He added: "This factory collapse story has lots of unexpected off-shoots into areas that give our amazing cast a chance to show off their acting chops."
can only hope this is a more interesting storyline than it sounds, Carla is quite wooden and not that interesting to watch.:hmm:
Did the roof of Underworld not fall in last year? At least, something happened to it, which is why most characters were out of work for ages.
Also, Carla's had an emotional breakdown before, after the Victoria Court fire in 2015. (and she was wrongly accused then too.) The writers just seem to be repeating themselves where Carla's concerned.
It still sounds repetitive though. No doubt Carla will hit the bottle again.
I don't think I can watch her having another meltdown. Why do the writers think the only way to make her sympathetic is to make her a complete and utter victim?
carla treats aidan's kidney very well with fine red wine
everyone covering for her, lies and bribes
I can't understand why she's allowing Peter and Nick to go around bribing people on her behalf. She was willing to confess until Peter started this latest cover up and even let him persuade her to go away for a while. She's supposed to be this great, independent woman and a powerful businesswoman.
At least now she's realising how Roy felt when she covered for him, except unlike Roy she hasn't owned up to it.
Think the health inspector Wayne feels jealous of Carla and her closeness to Roy.
Also I can't understand how she allowed Peter to be rude to Roy when he had allowed Peter to stay in his flat. Carla would never have allowed that in the past - she even told Johnny off for making fun of him when she was in hospital waiting for her transplant.
I wanted Carla to hand herself in
Carla Connor will be sectioned following her mental breakdown after telling family and friends that she was responsible for the roof collapse and death of Rana Habeeb.
Carla will go missing after her revelation, which will see her close friends and family turn against her as they grapple to come to terms with the news she’s told them.
As we know, Carla is acting on guilt and the real culprit of who’s to blame has yet to be made known to fans.
Coming to Carlas rescue will be Peter who finds out she is in hospital..
Can Peter help her to come to terms with recent events and find a way to help get her life back on track?
These scenes air over the next few weeks.
she'll be grand, just look at steve
The end for Carla? Carla is heading for rock bottom and fast. As she goes missing, Peter, Kate, Johnny and Roy are on the case to find her and bring her home. But her psychosis means she can trust no-one. Not wanting to be found, Carla’s harrowing state of mind implodes – leading to some heartbreaking scenes delivered expertly by Alison King. A standalone episode about Carla’s mental health will follow, with show boss Iain MacLeod telling us: ‘It’s a standalone episode that will be mental health focused and Carla focused. It will also be the reveal to the audience of who was behind the factory roof collapsing. It’s a really nice fusion of important, serious drama about mental health.’ Killer revealed! The investigation into who brought that roof down and killed Rana will continue for some time (which may or may not be good news for you) and there are indications that the viewers will discover their identity long before the community. But it leads to the incarnation of the latest cobbles bad guy. Iain teased: ‘What I have always liked about Corrie is the ability to have villains like Hillman and Phelan who come in and burn bright and also the more complicated, long range villain like Mike Baldwin – ruthless, self serving and looking out for number one. ‘We’re designing a character in that latter type who can stay long term as an antagonistic just messing up lives. ‘By going with this character on this journey – their intentions are good and they rapidly snowball. It will be a very slow burn.’

Looking forward to this episode especially .. I am sure Alison will make a great job of it
more scenes of her working in the cafe and minding bertie would be nice
I think she needs a few quieter episodes after all she's been through so minding Bertie would be a nice minor storyline for her.
As Carla and Peter are jobless, they could take over The Viaduct Bistro when Robert and Michelle leave, with Ciaran back as the chef
where is she and peter
