“Bridezilla, that’s me!” Carla’s cheeky quip in Coronation Street’s 5 September episode summed up the mix of joy and tension hanging over Weatherfield as she and Lisa prepared to walk down the aisle. What began with a surprise proposal has now snowballed into a full-scale wedding plan — but viewers are already asking whether the celebration will survive the shadows lurking over the couple.
From surprise proposal to big plans
Lisa’s proposal to Carla was one of Corrie’s standout moments of recent months. With Ryan and Betsy in on the surprise, the heartfelt question brought Carla to tears and gave fans the romance they had been craving. Lisa even secured permission from DI Costello to use police property in the setup, a detail that once looked charming but now feels heavy with irony given the corruption cloud hovering over him. Since then, the couple have been seen celebrating their engagement and sketching out plans for the big day, with Carla openly joking about transforming into a full “Bridezilla.”
The path to the aisle
With family and friends weighing in, questions of who will lead Carla down the aisle have sparked warm debate, turning the wedding prep into a community affair. Betsy’s playful teasing and Roy’s stoic support added heart to the mix, painting a picture of two women surrounded by love. Yet under the surface, Lisa’s sense of being watched and her entanglement in Costello’s cover-ups continue to simmer, giving fans reason to worry that danger could strike just as the confetti is about to fall.
Secrets threaten the celebration
For all the smiles, the timing is ominous. Costello’s manipulation of Tia Wardley and the ongoing Becky Swain investigation cast long shadows over Lisa’s future. Fans cannot ignore the warning signs: Lisa’s career, safety and even her relationship are now bound up with a man capable of silencing witnesses. With Weatherfield weddings rarely running smoothly, many viewers fear a tragic interruption could derail the ceremony before vows are exchanged.
Will Weatherfield see vows or chaos?
The storyline now stands on the edge of romance and ruin. Carla’s dream of a perfect day collides with Lisa’s battle against corruption, and fans are split between hope and dread. Some cling to the belief that Corrie will deliver a long-overdue happy ending, while others are convinced the wedding will end in scandal, tears, or worse. With the couple heading into their biggest week yet, one thing is certain: this will not be an ordinary trip down the aisle.
