This article contains spoilers for tonight\u2019s Coronation Street<\/a>, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.<\/p>\n

Carla Connor<\/a>\u2019s (Alison King<\/a>) well laid plans to propose to girlfriend Lisa Swain<\/a> (Vicky Myers<\/a>) were put on hold in tonight\u2019s Coronation Street after a close call.<\/p>\n

The factory boss left Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) thrilled when she announced her plans to ask Lisa to marry her<\/a> earlier this week, but he seemed disappointed when Carla explained that she wasn\u2019t going to make it a big thing.<\/p>\n

His pointed comments inspired Carla to do something special, and she headed to the Rovers to enlist Glenda Shuttleworth\u2019s (Jodie Prenger) help.<\/p>\n

Glenda could hardly contain her excitement as Carla explained her proposal plan<\/a> and asked the barmaid to slip the engagement ring into Lisa\u2019s glass of champagne.<\/p>\n

Of course, she agreed, and Carla moved on to stage two of her plan: Getting Lisa to the Rovers.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Lisa

It was harder than she expected to lure Lisa away from work, but eventually the detective gave in and agreed to meet her at the pub.<\/p>\n

Carla was clearly nervous about the upcoming proposal, and when Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) sat herself at their table to discuss her own upcoming nuptials, Carla was clearly on edge.<\/p>\n

Debbie was keen to get opinions on her wedding invitations, and Lisa was happy to share, also revealing that Debbie had the same wedding scrapbook as Lisa\u2019s late wife Becky.<\/p>\n

As they discussed Lisa\u2019s previous marriage, Debbie asked how Becky proposed, and the answer caught Carla completely off-guard.<\/p>\n

As Glenda emerged from the back room with two champagne flutes in hand, Lisa told Debbie how Becky had dropped the engagement ring into Lisa\u2019s champagne glass.<\/p>\n

Panicking, Carla pulled the plug on her proposal and sent Glenda away, with Lisa none the wiser.<\/p>\n

Later, Carla lamented to Ryan that she felt as though she had had her thunder stolen by a dead woman after the unexpected setback of Lisa\u2019s revelation that Becky had proposed in the same way Carla had planned.<\/p>\n

Comforting her, Ryan pointed out that it was a tacky way to propose anyway, and she could do better than Googling the best ways to pop the question.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time the couple have had a botched proposal, with Lisa having already asked Carla to marry her this year.<\/p>\n

Lisa\u2019s proposal came during a time of turmoil for her<\/a>, as she struggled to deal with Craig Tinker\u2019s death and the memories it stirred up surrounding Becky\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

As she reflected on how short life is, Lisa asked Carla to marry her, and was disappointed when she turned her down.<\/p>\n

However, Carla was quick to explain that it wouldn\u2019t be a no forever, it was just the wrong time given everything that had happened.<\/p>\n

With two failed proposal attempts between them, will Carla and Lisa ever get engaged? Who will finally be the one to pop the question, and how?<\/p>\n
