Betsy makes sad admission to Lisa in Coronation Street – and Lauren is not helping

Betsy Swain makes a sad admission to Lisa Connor-Swain (Picture: ITV) Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) is having a tough time in Coronation Street, having suffered a stroke unexpectedly several weeks ago. She was rushed to hospital after collapsing in the kitchen, where it was later revealed that her stroke had been caused by strangulation during sex with Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne). The stroke had a major effect on her ability to move and talk, and she has since been undergoing speech and physiotherapy. Since returning home, Betsy has mostly stayed inside No.6, despite Lisa Connor-Swain’s (Vicky Myers) suggestions that she spend some time outside. In upcoming scenes, Betsy finds herself frustrated when Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) visits her, but spends most of the time on her phone texting Ollie Driscoll (Raphael Akuwudike). Betsy and Lauren’s relationship has faced a few bumps in recent weeks, with the pair falling out over Dylan’s involvement in causing Betsy’s stroke. Lauren Bolton isn’t helping Betsy (Picture: ITV) While Betsy didn’t want to blame Dylan for what happened, Lauren believed that he needed to face punishment, which caused a huge rift between them. Their argument resulted in Lauren storming out and leaving Betsy alone. Betsy was unable to get to the bathroom by herself, and was left humiliated when she had an accident. After receiving a dressing down from Carla Connor-Swain (Alison King), Lauren apologised and she and Betsy made up.
