It was a bad day for Coronation Street’s Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) in recent scenes when she lost her job at the factory.
Betsy began work experience under Carla Connor’s (Alison King) watchful eye earlier this year, after the factory boss promised to give the tearaway teen a chance as a favour to her mum, DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).
Things have been tense between the boss and employee, with Betsy flying in and out of the factory like a yo-yo after countless misdemeaners.
However, her employment was looking more solid in recent weeks, until she made a fatal mistake in tonight’s episode.

After the arrival of an unexpected client, acting manager Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) attempted to get in contact with Carla, who had told her she was at a meeting in town.
However, while on the phone, Betsy pointed out to Sally that Carla wouldn’t be able to answer in court, which left Sally totally confused.
As Betsy explained that she was in court for ABH after knocking a young lad off his bike in a hit-and-run, the client overheard everything, and immediately decided to take her business elsewhere.

Unfortunately for Betsy, the whole encounter was recorded on Sally’s voicemail to Carla, and the furious factory boss was quick to put her in her place.
As Carla fired Betsy on the spot, her colleagues argued that it was unfair, though Betsy took it in her stride, screaming out the charge that Carla had been facing to the rest of the workforce.
Later, Betsy was forced to break the news of her dismissal to Lisa, who was less than impressed.

When Lisa asked what she had done to lose her job, Betsy insisted that it was just because Carla was ‘a cow’, before storming off.
Wanting answers, Lisa headed into the factory, where she found Carla trapped with the furious father of the boy she’d injured.
Lisa leapt into action and arrested the man, before later heading over to see if Carla was alright after the ordeal.

As a thank you for Lisa’s quick action, and having had time to stew and realise that she was perhaps being too harsh, Carla told Lisa that Betsy could have her job back, with a payrise.
When Lisa questioned if that would be rewarding bad behaviour, Carla defended Betsy by insisting that it wasn’t bad behaviour, she was just gobby, and she could see where she got it from.
Will Betsy be able to keep hold of her job this time, or will something else get in the way?
