Coronation Street’s Betsy Swain embarks on a risky trip to see Logan Radcliffe next week, after she uncovers mysterious information about her late mum Becky.
After Lisa Swain leaves her files lying around, Betsy takes the opportunity to have a snoop.
However, Lisa is mortified to find that her daughter has found them – and even grabs the box out of her hands. What doesn’t she want her to find?
“Betsy being Betsy is just being nosy,” explained Sydney Martin, who plays Betsy.

“As she goes to grab one of the boxes, Lisa’s very on edge. She can be like that, very stressed and job-focussed, but it makes Betsy question what inside this particular box is so special.”
“Their relationship has often been based around lies, there’s a lot of times her mum has lied to protect her, but Betsy just wants to be treated like an adult now,” Sydney added.
“If snooping in these boxes means she can find out something that her mum’s not going to tell her, that’s what she’s going to do!”
Fascinated, Betsy confronts her mum directly about the private documents. In response, Lisa claims that it holds information about her paternity, and she wants her to wait until she’s 18 to see it.

“Lisa tries to fob Betsy off,” Sydney revealed. “She says the box contains her paternity results. But their family dynamic isn’t about that, her parents are her mums, her dad was just a sperm donor and that doesn’t mean anything to Betsy.
“She knows it’s something neither of them really care about – so she’s going to dig deeper…”
Subsequently, Carla Connor catches Betsy rifling through her mum’s files. But has Betsy found whatever Lisa is so concerned about?

Later in the week, Lisa suggests that she and Betsy share lunch together, but her daughter pretends that she has plans to see Dylan Wilson – when, in fact, she’s due to visit evil Logan Radcliffe in Highfield Prison.
Taking Lauren Bolton along, Betsy admits that she feels nervy – which should be no surprise given the fact that she’s about to meet a convicted criminal…
Meanwhile, Lisa and Carla discover that Betsy can’t be with Dylan, after Steve McDonald reveals that she ordered a taxi to the local prison. Having taken matters into her own hands, could Betsy’s curiosity land her and Lauren in serious trouble?
