Lisa reassures Betsy as past character's Corrie return confuses everything
Betsy Swain attempted to do some investigating (Picture: ITV)
Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) was on a mission in tonight's Coronation Street as she tried to find answers regarding the life her mum lived before she died.
Lisa Swain's (Vicky Myers) ex-partner Becky was also a copper, but she apparently died after being hit by a car.
This week, Lisa told Carla Connor (Alison King) more about Becky's life as a police officer. She said that, before her death, Becky was being investigated by the anti-corruption unit, and Lisa was keen to keep that information from her daughter.
Lisa emotionally opened up about how she and Becky had fought over the allegations the day Becky was killed, and though the investigation was dropped, she didn't get the funeral she deserved.

Lisa attempted to talk to Betsy about her mum, but when Betsy insisted that she hadn't read the letter because she wasn't interested in knowing who her sperm donor was, Lisa decided to keep quiet about what the letter was really about.
Unfortunately, Betsy wasn't being entirely honest either, as she later revealed to Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) that she knew exactly what the letter was about.
She confessed that she was convinced Becky's hit and run had been a coverup of some sort, and asked Lauren for her help in getting to the bottom of things.

This involved visiting Logan Radcliffe in prison. The young man is behind bars after killing his brother Mason (Luca Toolan), but it's also known that Logan and other sibling Matty were involved in Becky's death.
In the prison visiting room, Betsy explained to an arrogant Logan that she wanted to know more about her mum. The smug character told her that it would cost her, and Betsy was happy to pay him from her trust fund.
Logan span a story to Betsy but laughed at the end, revealing it was just a massive wind up.

Back at the flat, Betsy confessed to her mum that she went to see Logan for answers. Lisa did her best to reassure her daughter, noting that the investigation into Becky potentially being corrupt was dropped.
As much as she would like to know more about her other mum, Betsy is also very accepting of Lisa's new partner Carla.
Towards the end of the episode, the couple surprised Betsy and revealed that they are going to buy a bigger place together, and she loved the idea.

Eastenders star unrecognisable in Danny Boyle rom-com but BBC fans don't have long to watch
Danny Boyle's 2019 rom-com Yesterday took a fictionalised look at what the world would be like if The Beatles never existed, with a little bit of a love story thrown in for good measure Danny Boyle's 2019 rom-com Yesterday has been hailed as a fantastical tribute to The Beatles, featuring a screenplay by Richard Curtis and a shared story credit with Jack Barth. The jukebox musical presents a whimsical yet fictional narrative, all the while offering an artistic salute to the iconic music group. The film's producers reportedly shelled out nearly $10 million for the rights to The Beatles' song collection. Although no surviving members or their relatives partook in the making of the film, Boyle has claimed he secured their blessings before commencing with the project. Debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival in May 2019, Yesterday enjoyed its cinema release within the UK and the US in the following month. The romantic musical comedy reaped a global box-office haul of $155 million, surpassing its production budget of $26 million. Boyle's cinematic piece features an almost unrecognisable EastEnders actor Himesh Patel as the hero protagonist, with Lily James, Joel Fry, Ed Sheeran, and Kate McKinnon in supportive roles. Reports suggest that Boyle was persuaded of Patel's fit for the role after hearing his renditions of Beatles hits Yesterday and Back in the U.S.S.R. at the auditions, reports Surrey Live. During his appearance on BBC Radio 1's Kids Ask Difficult Questions segment, cast member Ed Sheeran divulged that he wasn't the first pick for his character, sharing: "They asked Chris Martin, he said no, they asked Harry Styles, he said no, and I was third choice." He remarked: "Yesterday was funny though because Richard Curtis wrote it and he lives in Suffolk and he knows me and my wife very well. And If you look at that movie, the premise is a bloke who gets really, really, really famous round the world, and it's a bit unbelievable that he got really, really famous round the world...[he] comes from Suffolk... so there are all these factors in it where I was like, has he sort of written this about me? Anyway, they asked Chris Martin, he said no, they asked Harry Styles, he said no and I was third choice. That is 100% true." A critique in Vanity Fair of the film read: "Ultimately, Yesterday is a victim of the amnesia it inflicts upon its characters." Whilst another reviewer commented: "The structure is a mess. The characters are plastic. And the lines are Seventies sitcom bad." In conversation with Billboard, Paul McCartney revealed that he and his wife, Nancy Shevell, went to see the film in a cinema in The Hamptons and "loved it." Moreover, director Danny Boyle made sure to send copies of the final reel to Ringo Starr and his spouse, Barbara, as well as George Harrison's widow, Olivia, who both returned "lovely messages" Yoko Ono, widow of John Lennon, also signaled her blessing for the depiction of her late husband in the picture. Yesterday managed to resonate soundly with its audience and garnered predominantly affirmative critiques. One viewer enthused: "Genuinely wonderful and heartfelt piece of what is actually science fiction. Left me wanting more and moved." Meanwhile, another enthusiast gushed: "One of my favourite movies of all time... Lily James and Himesh Patel are charming together, and with the Beatles soundtrack, the movie is a joy! Ed Sheeran and Kate McKinnon seamlessly come in and out of the story, and for those of us around in the sixties, the movie strikes a chord. A must see!". A different filmgoer shared: "Brilliant from start to finish! Some classic lines. Directed by Danny Boyle with the Richard Curtis magic more could you ask Sheeran makes a good stab at acting too." An additional comment from a viewer was: "Interesting concept and it was great to see it play out in this rom-com. Glad it was not a standard biopic and had its own story idea."

Uniformed officers were also seen standing guard and talking to locals outside. Sergeant Gary Arthur said: 'This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in Scotland. 'It also underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country's Serious Organised Crime Strategy. 'We would continue to urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs and firearms activity in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.'
