ITV Coronation Street viewers are convinced they have spotted Betsy Swain’s crucial mistake after the horror burglary at the Underworld factory
Coronation Street viewers believe they’ve identified a crucial error made by Betsy Swain in Monday’s episode.
In the recent episode, Betsy, portrayed by Sydney Martin, reassured Mason Radcliffe, played by Luca Toolan, that his troublesome brothers were no longer a concern due to a deal she had brokered with them.
It was later unveiled that Betsy’s plan involved the brothers burglarising the Underworld factory on the condition they would subsequently leave Mason alone. Later in the episode, Betsy confirmed that the factory was vacant due to a team bonding day and she had deactivated the CCTV cameras, as well as procuring a set of spare keys for their entry.

However, in typical soap opera fashion, the burglary didn’t proceed as planned when Carla Connor, played by Alison King, returned to the factory prematurely after DS Lisa Swain, played by Vicky Myers, confessed she wasn’t ready for a relationship. This led to Carla being hit over the head by Mason’s brothers and later collapsing in the episode, with it revealed she requires emergency surgery due to a brain haemorrhage.
Betsy is distraught over the disastrous outcome of her plan with Carla injured, and fans are already forecasting more turmoil for the teenager after noticing her blunder on Monday night, reports Lancs Live.
On social media, one fan pointed out: “The lock on the factory door was ridiculously flimsy. One shove and it would’ve opened, how would any insurance company would pay out on that? Clever Betsy switched the CCTV off ….. good thinking, however when the police check it, who was the last person captured on it?”

Another user responded: “Plus other businesses close by will have cctv plus lots of folk now have video doorbells” while a third commented: “You would need a password to unlock the cctv to get in etc , apart from Carla only Sarah or Michael will have access to it..”
Will Betsy’s part in the break-in, which has put Carla in danger, be exposed, and how will her mum, DS Lisa Swain, react to her involvement?
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 andITVX.
