    Summary

    When Becky returned from the dead Carla knew it wasn’t going to be an easy ride. She was determined to fight for her relationship with Lisa. But after months of fighting, tension, and holding on for dear life it all became too much for Carla and Lisa, and they mutually decided to split.
    Carla moved to Ireland – left everything behind to start fresh, apart from the factory - she did as much as she could remotely while Sarah did more of the in-person management. Lisa moved away to Brighton after the house sold, transferring to Sussex police.
    Carla kept in touch with Betsy – never mentioning Lisa or Becky.
    5 years later a sudden attack at Underworld takes place that requires Carla to come back to Weatherfield.
    How will she react when she comes face to face with ex Lisa who unbeknown to Carla has been back in Weatherfield for the past year.

    Summary

    “Actually, if it’s all the same, I’ve got someone coming in for an interview.”

    “That’s me.” Lisa said, her voice almost a whisper.

    “What?” Carla looked her up and down. “I mean a job interview.”

    “That’s still me.” Lisa muttered, a blush creeping over her cheeks.

    “To be my new barmaid?”

    or - carla owns the rovers, and lisa needs a second chance.

    Summary

    In 1996, Lisa Swain is 19 and living a comfortable, middle class life with her parents and sister in a leafy Manchester suburb. Comfortable apart from the fact she’s struggling to come to terms with her sexuality.

    Having recently spent the night with her best friend - she’s left humiliated and considering dropping out of university.

    Carla Donovan is 21, and living far less comfortably, alone, in a freezing cold flat on an estate rougher than most prisons. Her brother Rob is constantly in trouble with the law, and she has to suffer the consequences of his actions. Her life has made her tough, and unforgiving, and she doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Without the support of her best friend Michelle - life would feel very bleak indeed.

    So what could happen when these two polar opposite, but equally troubled young women cross paths by chance on a night out?

    As time moves on and when fate continues to bring them together, during various stages of their lives - are they able to navigate so many changes and challenges? And accept that the universe keeps bringing them back to each other, and perhaps they are powerless to stop it?
