CARLA Connor gave everybody the fright of a lifetime when it seemed like her psychosis had made a return.
Little do Coronation Street residents know she's actually become a killer target for Stephen Reid.
ITV viewers looked on in shock as the Underworld boss played by Alison King crashed into an oblivious Paul Foreman as he was trying out Peter Barlow's new motorbike.
This led Carla to take some time for herself, particularly as her husband Peter (Chris Gascoyne) was firmly convinced she was relapsing into psychosis.
Coming up next week, Carla feels like she's ready to return to work and Peter, upon seeing her improved state, agrees to pick up some files for her.
Whilst at the factory, he explains that Carla is hoping to be back in the following days.
