Carla Connor (Alison King)

They forgot about that "audience research" quickly then. This will not make her more likeable.

What was wrong with Michelle/Nick etc finding out that Johnny was Carla's dad, keeping it from her for fear it would send her back on the path of destruction; Carla leaving because she found out and felt betrayed by everyone?

Were Rob and Carla originally full or half-siblings? I can't remember. Has their mum always been said to have had a reputation or did they suddenly invent it for the purposes of this storyline?

So Carla was married to her first cousin once removed? Second cousin? Some form of cousin anyway. Time for another Jeremy Kyle Coronation Street special?

Not an uncle no, making it difficult to pin down the exact relationship. He could be anything from a first cousin to them downwards.

Aidan was described as a distant cousin of Michelle. If Johnny were an uncle, Aidan would be a first cousin and it would be simple.

Today Michelle said that Johnny was second cousin to her father, making Carla third cousin to Paul, Liam and Michelle (the children of second cousins are third cousins to each other.) The clip is on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HVPlSj3pdzA

carla ends up in a coma after a fight incident with tracy

Carla Connor is set to find herself in serious danger in shock scenes this January – as she is left fighting for her life after a violent incident.

It’s already destined to be a tough start to the year for the Underworld boss. As she recovers from the bombshell that Johnny is in fact her father, she ends up cheating on doting fiancee Nick with Tracy Barlow’s partner Robert Preston. The liaison leaves Carla consumed with guilt – and it is this ill advised night of passion that could be the catalyst for a series of events that may be the end of her.

While we are sworn to secrecy over the exact details of what happens, we can reveal that Nick will be fearing the loss of the woman he loves as he keeps a vigil by her hospital bedside. But given that her long term nemesis Tracy is involved, could the horrific twist be a deliberate attempt on Carla’s life?

Let’s face it, Tracy has form. Having contemplated killing Carla once before and accidentally starting a fire which killed Kal Nazir and Maddie Heath, Tracy has proven she isn’t to be messed with – you could ask Charlie Stubbs if he hadn’t had his head fatally caved in by her.

And when Tracy picks a fight with Carla, a chain of events unfolds that could see tragedy rock the Street once more.
Is the villain set to have the knicker queen’s blood on her hands?

You can see the exciting new plot unfold towards the end of January.

Exciting new plot? Sounds like the same old too me.

Youve forgotten to switch on your erase/
memory loss button! And so have I !

Must NOT remember storylines more than
6 months old!
No doubt start of Carlas exit story next year.
Theyve given her plenty of stories over the years
but very samey. She could have dealt with
better ones( imo)

Hope there are repercussions for Tracy -
But doubt it!!

So Tracy is making a career out of murder and keeps getting away with it. Very boring and too much Tracy air time if you ask me. Can't they bring any new characters in. I thought phelan may be behind driscolls expansion and be their backer. Need new characters I am sick of Tracy even phelan will do.

Ah, but this one is set to "rock the street". I doubt if the inhabitants lives will ever be the same again.
