Coronation Street fans were delighted on Wednesday night when the legendary character, Becky McDonald, was mentioned, hinting at a potential return to the cobbles. The episode revolved around Max Turner , who set fire to the Platt family's house earlier in the week, putting several lives in danger, including his own. Incriminating CCTV footage unveiled that the arsonist was wearing an easily recognizable hoodie, which Shona Platt identified as one she had bought Max for Christmas.
The police conducted forensic analysis on the discarded hoodie found in a nearby bin, leading to Max's imminent arrest. However, he escaped before the authorities could apprehend him. Later in the episode, it was revealed that Shona and David Platt were concocting an escape plan for Max, aware that he could face a substantial prison sentence. As part of their scheme, David contacted Max's aunt, Becky McDonald. He assured his worried wife Shona that Becky would help Max. According to David, Becky is currently residing in Belize with Ian, the owner of a hotel with a questionable reputation. Ian, known for his disregard for the law, could provide Max with a safe haven and a way to evade justice.Becky first graced the Coronation Street cobbles in 2005, initially a troubled character taken in by Roy Cropper and his late wife, Hayley. After a turbulent relationship and marriage to Steve McDonald, Becky ultimately departed the cobbles in 2012, seeking a fresh start in Barbados. Her exit was fueled by revenge against her love rival, Tracy Barlow, and her ex-husband, Steve. Becky is Max's aunt, as her sister, Kylie Platt, was Max's mother. Kylie tragically passed away in 2016, leaving her children, Max and Lily Platt, under David's care. Since leaving Coronation Street in 2012, actress Katherine Kelly, who portrays Becky, has enjoyed a successful acting career. She has taken on lead roles in numerous popular BBC and ITV dramas, including Lady Mae Loxley in Mr. Selfridge, DI Jodie Shackleton in Happy Valley, and The Permanent Secretary in The Night Manager. Kelly's impressive filmography also includes roles in Cheat, Gentleman Jack, Liar, Ruby Speaking, Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office, Inside No. 9, Protection, and The Crow Girl. Coronation Street continues on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8pm on ITV and ITV X.
