Coronation Street star Alison King has offered her take on the turbulent events which lead to her character Carla Connor having a fresh showdown with evil Frank Foster.
Carla confronts Frank (Andrew Lancel) at his home later this week after he wins his appeal for bail and recruits his mother Anne to act on his behalf at the factory.
As revealed earlier this year, Anne (Gwen Taylor) immediately starts to make life difficult for Carla, believing that her allegation of rape against Frank is false. She then hires burly thugs to take away Frank's share of the business - including machinery and materials.
King told ITV.com that Anne makes her intentions known during a late-night visit to the factory, explaining: "Carla goes into Underworld expecting to see Sally being all goody two shoes. She goes back quite late at night to get some papers. She's a little bit worried that Frank might be in there, but she's hoping that it's Sally. And instead, it's Frank's mother.
"She lets it be known to Carla that she's not going anywhere and she's actually there to be a proxy, which is somebody to come in and cope with Frank's businesses on his behalf. And there's no way that I can get her out."
Coronation Street star Alison King has promised that there is "high drama" ahead on the cobbles as Carla Connor's dark storyline with Frank Foster continues.
Carla was raped by Frank last month and she is currently waiting to see if she will get justice as the evil businessman continues to protest his innocence to the authorities and Weatherfield's residents.
Events take a new twist in this week's episodes as Frank wins his appeal for bail before recruiting his mother Anne (Gwen Taylor) to act on his behalf at Underworld.
King told ITV.com of Carla's ongoing journey: "This storyline, to date, has been probably the hardest storyline I've ever had to broach, really, in terms of continuation of getting the feelings there and keeping them bang on. It's been shattering, but a challenge."
Hinting at what is in store next, she continued: "[There's] high, high drama to come. My goodness, there's so many hills to ride your horse over on this. And I don't know where it's going to end, because I honestly haven't been told and I can't see an end at the moment.
"So I'm just going, 'What next can she possibly have thrown at her?' But it's exciting, exciting stuff to come, I know that."
Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) was recently tipped to start featuring in the storyline as she puts her own personal safety at risk by growing closer to Frank (Andrew Lancel).
Reports have also suggested that returnee Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) helps Carla to get her life back on track and stands up to Frank in forthcoming episodes.
Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.

"This is the last straw, and she can't think of anything else to do, bar go and see Frank, confront him and say, 'I want my stuff back'. Which, of course, is probably not a good idea under the circumstances and with how angry she is at him. It doesn't go very well."

Her daughter Rosie (Helen Flanagan) is against the relationship and tries to stop the blossoming romance with the help of her boyfriend Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas).
It has been revealed that Frank will be killed off when his dark storyline reaches a conclusion.
The scenes will be shown in upcoming episodes of Coronation Street.
The Sun
Coronation Street star Alison King has revealed that she wants a long future for her character Carla Connor's relationship with Peter Barlow.
Carla has been enjoying an affair with Peter (Chris Gascoyne) for a few weeks and is planning to go public with the romance once Frank Foster's rape trial is over.
Frank (Andrew Lancel) sexually assaulted Carla late last year after she called off their wedding. His trial begins later this month, but there are twists ahead as the truth about Carla and Peter will come out in court after Frank hired a private detective to follow them.
King told the Worksop Guardian: "Carla doesn't have an inkling that there's a private detective on her case at all. Although why, I don't know - I think she should suspect it from Frank. I think she thinks they've been quite careful.
"[Carla and Peter have] got together and that's been such a help to her. He's such a crutch for her and she's needed him through this. She thinks she's played it pretty cool and got it just where it ought to be. They've not let anybody know, but they plan to let everybody know once the court case is done.
"I think in her mind, it's none of their business, but of course it's going to affect the case."
She continued: "The future for Carla and Peter? Well, I hope it's a long one - because I love working with Chris Gascoyne. He's very funny - he makes me belly-laugh a lot!
"On the other hand, Carla and Peter is a recipe for disaster. They're both alcoholics and there's a beautiful young boy in the midst of that who they're trying to parent. Keep watching because that should be very, very interesting."
Coronation Street continues tonight at 8.30pm on ITV1.
There wil never be a happy ending for Peter & Carla because Simon loves Leanne she is his Mum and he will never except Carla as him mother.
Coronation Street star Alison King has admitted that she cannot see herself getting bored of playing Carla Connor on the soap.
Carla has been at the centre of high-profile storylines on the show since her introduction in 2006 - including her recent rape plot with evil Frank Foster.
Speaking to The Sun's TV Buzz magazine, King hinted that she is unlikely to leave the cobbles anytime soon.
"I've always said I'll keep playing Carla till I get bored of her," the actress explained. "And with someone like Carla, there's never much chance of getting bored."
King also praised co-stars Andrew Lancel and Chris Gascoyne, who play twisted Frank and troubled Peter Barlow respectively.
"I call [Andrew] my very own Stephen Fry as he's full of trivia," she commented. "I'll tell him, 'You're boring me with all these facts! Will you shut up now?' But we've got chemistry that can be hard to find in this business. Andrew keeps me alive - he keeps me going."
She continued: "I love working with Chris Gascoyne so much. It's like working with your granddad. Honestly, he gets older by the day, but I know I'm going to have to give him back to Jane Danson [Leanne] at some point because she misses him dearly."
King's full interview appears in the next issue of TV Buzz, which is free with The Sun on Saturday.
Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
The Peter/ Carla storyline is getting sooo tedious - zzz...
Will be fun to watch after next week when it becomes public knowledge
I see no chemistry with Carla and Peter and also Carla and Frank
Coronation Street star Alison King has predicted that Carla Connor and Peter Barlow's relationship will end badly.
Carla and Peter (Chris Gascoyne) have been enjoying a secret affair in recent weeks, but the truth is exposed in tonight's episodes as photos of the pair kissing are handed to Peter's wife Leanne (Jane Danson) at Frank Foster's rape trial.
King has now told the Daily Star that while she wants a long future for Carla and Peter, she is expecting heartbreak ahead in the long run.
"The longer I can have carnage with Chris, the better, because I love him," the actress explained. "He makes me belly laugh from the inside out.
"But Carla has an eject button and I think she will use it in the end. She's like the black widow who hasn't died! Chris should be worried."
King also said that Carla will be distraught if the revelation of her affair counts against her in court.
"Carla will be absolutely devastated if Frank gets off, because she was raped," she commented. "And no matter what the consequences with Peter, it's got nothing to do with what happened to her."
Coronation Street airs tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
Coronation Street star Alison King has revealed that evil Frank Foster will try to "bully" Carla Connor out of Underworld in the coming days.
Carla was recently left distraught when Frank was found not guilty of raping her, but there is more drama on the way in upcoming episodes as he tries to take over her business.
Tonight's episodes see Frank (Andrew Lancel) return to the factory and announce that he is moving back in now that he is a free man.

King told itv.com of the storyline: "Carla's feeling devastated straight after the trial, but she really just wants to move on, get back into the factory and get back into the swing of things. She's got Peter to lean on and he's helping her do that, but there's complications.
"Frank's still about and making trouble. She arrives back to her factory raring to go, to discover that he's moved in there. He offers to buy her out because he thinks this is going to be a really good solution. He tries to bully her out."
The actress added that, to make matters worse, Peter (Chris Gascoyne) will struggle to get his young son Simon (Alex Bain) to accept his new romance with Carla.
King said: "Carla and Peter's relationship is floating, blooming, it's beautiful. They've got banter, they've got everything. But Carla, Peter and Simon - that's not so easy. Simon hates her."
Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
Carla Connor,
Hair like tar,
Knocked Stella over,
In Frank's car!
In love with Liam,
Then with Peter.
Drinks red wine by the flamin' litre!
Coronation Street's troubled businesswoman Carla Connor becomes a murder suspect this week after her evil ex-fiancé Frank Foster is found dead.
Carla's hatred of Frank (Andrew Lancel) is about to escalate when he cons her into signing away her share of Underworld, as she wrongly believes that she has a lucrative deal with Jenny Sumner to look forward to.
When Carla realises that Jenny has been in cahoots with Frank all along, she's furious and has a final showdown with the villain after hours at the factory, during which he threatens to rape her again. Not long afterwards, Frank's lifeless body is discovered at Underworld. Has Carla killed him, or is somebody else responsible?
Digital Spy recently caught up with Corrie favourite Alison King, who plays Carla, to hear all about the murder mystery storyline.
Carla has a nasty shock on the way when it comes to Frank and Jenny…
"Yeah, Carla thinks that she's all set up with Jenny. She's really sad that she's going to lose the factory, but she knows that she's got a way around it and she can start again with Jenny's help. From Carla's point of view, it makes the most sense, because Frank seems to be going nowhere. He just isn't letting Carla get on with her life after the rape, and she can't seem to get away from him.
"So it's a huge bombshell for Carla when her only way out comes crashing down, because Jenny has betrayed her. She thought she had another card to play, but she doesn't. Carla is absolutely devastated."
That leads up to a final showdown scene between Carla and Frank, doesn't it?
"It does. Frank threatens to attack Carla again, so it's horrible for her. The nasty side of Frank is starting to appear again. Bless Andrew, as that was hard for him to take home. But it was another great scene to be involved in."
Frank is found dead shortly afterwards, and Carla is one of the suspects. Do you think she's capable of murdering someone?
"Well, Carla could be at absolute breaking point by now, considering everything she's been through. I don't think she's capable of committing a murder, but I think she is capable of causing an accident and she's also capable of self-defence. So maybe that could mean she is responsible for what's happened."
How does she feel about Frank being dead?
"Carla's pleased that he's dead. I don't think she misses him at all after what he did to her, as he's made her life a misery. But I think she's sad that it's come to this, and sad that she's in the middle of it all. She wishes none of it had happened. However, what Frank did was unforgivable in Carla's eyes, along with the fact that he kept interfering in her life in such a horrible way afterwards. So she's glad he's gone."
In real life, what was it like to say goodbye to Andrew?
"It was really sad to say goodbye. Though I won't miss his anecdotes! (Laughs) He'd tell me lots of different anecdotes, every single day! But he was an amazing bloke to work with, he's very giving and it was a blessing to come across him. I think he always knew that Frank's story would have a beginning, a middle and an end, so it was nice for him to play that out."
Carla and Peter will both be under scrutiny from the police in the coming days. How does that affect their relationship?
"Well, what goes on between Carla and Peter is interesting to watch, put it that way! They're both suspects, they have different motives and they both had very different circumstances on the night of Frank's death. And those cross over in a very weird way, so it'll be really good to watch.
"I think Carla and Peter adore each other, so she'd be absolutely devastated if he'd killed Frank, because it would have been for her. That would be the end of her world, as she'd literally have nothing left if he went to jail."
Sally now knows the truth about Frank, and we've heard that Carla forgives her for everything. Why is that?
"I think Carla just knows that Sally has been put through the same rubbish that she has by Frank. Carla has been taken in by Frank herself in the past, so she's got a certain amount of forgiveness. In a way, it's exactly the same thing that Maria forgave Carla for.
"Carla and Sally have both been led along by Frank and ignored the warning signs, so for once in her life, Carla hasn't got double standards and she's quite forgiving and supporting of Sally. Although underneath it all, maybe some of that tension will come out later during their squabbles!"
Carla and Leanne's arguments are always great to watch. Do you enjoy filming those scenes?
"Yes, I do, because it's two alpha-females going head-to-head. I think they're both capable of ripping each other's heads off! Carla and Leanne like to have a go at each other, so it's always a really good match. That's never going to stop now, because I don't think Leanne will ever forgive Carla!"
Do you think Carla and Peter have a strong future together, or is their relationship doomed?
"I think Carla and Peter's relationship has been so long coming that they'd have to really, really try before they gave up on it, otherwise what was the point? There's been such a struggle to get to where they are now, so I don't think they should give up.
"They both really, really love each other, so I'm hoping that it will continue, at least for the time being. It's a deep love, not just a shallow one. It's not one that should easily fall apart."
Would you like Carla to have some happier times, or do you prefer the more emotional storylines?
"A split between the two is always nice, literally because you just get so knackered after a big storyline and there's only so much that you can do in a certain space of time. Also, Carla came into the show with some good comedy, so I think she can do both. Humourous scenes are also really nice and enjoyable to play, so it's nice to have a bit of both."
How would you sum up being at the centre of this huge storyline?
"It's been a bonkers schedule and very, very tiring, but so brilliant to do. I've worked with so many brilliant people on the storyline. It's been an honour to work with Andrew and Gwen Taylor, and I've had a really nice variety of scenes.
"What I've tried to do is go all-out on each and every scene, so what I see written down on paper comes alive. Then when it comes to do a take, it can be a lot different to how I imagined. That means a scene can often involve something bigger than I thought it would, so it can be a lot more intense.
"But in general, it been brilliant. We've had some great ratings, so it's brilliant for Corrie. It's just lovely and very exciting stuff to be involved in, so I'm having a great time."
Carla and Peter totally deserve each other,pair of alkies.
It was nice to see Carla being honest with the police about her whereabouts. Often people in soaps lie because it sounds bad. Then get themselves in a bigger mess!
The bottle ? did the cops not say that according the to the credit card Peter spent £35 on a bottle of Whiskey, then some minutes later say a "cheap" bottle of Whiskey. Yes you can spend hundreds even thousands on a bottle but everyday "cheap" bottles are about £12. If you pay £35 for a bottle you'll get a very good malt whiskey, if the bottle found is a cheap whiskey, then it won't be the bottle Peter bought for £35. You would have thought the cops would have clicked onto that right away.
I did have 2 choices for the killer , No1 the mother, but the way she has been going on it doesn't seem to look as though she did it. My 2nd and now my No1 is Jenny, she was on Carla's side until the jury found Frank not guily. I think she would have came in when Frank said out loud that he raped Carla and would do it again, I think she's seen herself in that position in the future. She's then agrued with him and she's hit him with the bottle he took off of Carla and he was killed in the fall down the stairs.
But maybe £35 to the cops is a cheap bottle of whisky.
Once they've checked the blood and finger prints then they'll obviously reveal more.
the whisky bottle they have found in the skip with the blood on it, was the one from Carla's handbag!Quote:

so it should have his prints on it, and Carla's , and Peter's because they both drank from it in the flat....and whoever sold it to Carla..... and Roy(Norris) who picked it out of the skip barehanded....
but lets not bother with mere details like that....
My first choice is Jenny as well, but she isn't one of the suspects supplied by the powers that be. Are all those just a smoke screen? I read somewhere that it was Anne. I'm just glad they are supposed to tell us who it is quickly. I find these story lines about crimes to be tedious. More romance!! That's my mantra.Quote:

Coronation Street lovers Carla Connor and Peter Barlow appear set to have a stormy break-up in the upcoming weeks.
Carla, played by Alison King, is left looking angry, betrayed, and upset when she reportedly discovers that the man she loves has rekindled his relationship with his estranged wife.
Peter Barlow, played by actor Chris Gascoyne, split from Leanne Barlow, portrayed by Jane Danson, after his affair with Carla was made public during a court case, earlier this year.
The trio have been feuding ever since and the tension between Peter and Leanne had become so difficult that viewers would have never believed a reconciliation was on the cards.
The pair of recovering alcoholics agree to meet down by the canal side to discuss the situation but the gentle talks soon turn stormy.
Peter explains that he has fallen back into the arms of Leanne, and Carla goes berserk at the news.
The black haired factory boss lashes out at the bookmaker as he tries in vain to calm her down.
The final hug: Carla is left feeling hurt, upset and betrayed by the man she thought she could trust
As Peter attempts to restrain his now ex-girlfriend, Carla gives him a mouthful of abuse and tells him in no uncertain terms to leave her alone.
The only person able to calm her down is little Simon, who surprisingly reaches out and hugs the woman he once blamed for breaking up his parents marriage.
It is unclear why Simon, played by 10-year-old Alex Bain, has become friendly towards Carla, but his behaviour is in stark contrast to how he usually treats her.
Next week viewers will see Simon tell the courts that he wants to live with his mother Leanne and not Peter and Carla.
It’s been a difficult year for Carla as she faced a rape trial, was judged by colleagues and neighbours for her affair with Peter, and next week gets accused of trying to bribe Leanne to leave the area.
The difficult story lines paid dividends, however, and won actor Alison this year’s title of Best Actress at The British Soap Awards 2012.
Coronation Street were contacted by Mail Online but refused to comment.

Chris Gascoyne and Alison King are to take a four-month hiatus from Coronation Street, ITV has confirmed.
The Peter Barlow and Carla Connor stars' last scenes prior to their break will air in July, the Corrie website has said.
The stars, who have both been at the centre of the show's plots over the last three years, are leaving to spend more time with their respective families.
Their summer exit will coincide with the verdict of Peter's custody battle with ex-wife Leanne over his son Simon.
Peter and Carla will escape the country, but viewers are left to wonder whether they will flee with young Simon.
Bosses assure fans that the Weatherfield couple will return to the cobbles with an "explosive storyline".
Gascoyne, 44, has played Peter Barlow since 2000, leaving the soap in 2007 before returning a year later.
Meanwhile, King has been on the Street since 2006, taking a break only in 2009 due to her pregnancy with her first and only daughter.
