Coronation Street’s Carla Connor could die during her breakdown.
The factory boss is going to suffer a mental health crisis brought on by her guilt at thinking she is responsible for the roof collapse that killed her sister in law Rana Habeeb.
Viewers have seen how Carla has struggled to cope with the guilt she is feeling, but there’s a bigger danger lurking for her.
According to The Sun, upcoming scenes will see a manic Carla reveal to Roy Cropper that she has stopped taking her medication.
It is essential she takes her medication to stop her body rejecting the kidney she got from Aidan.

An insider told the newspaper: “After her kidney transplant from Aidan, they were the things keeping her healthy and not taking them could cause her kidneys to shut down, or she could even die.
“[Roy is] going to be terrified she could end up needing another transplant if she doesn’t get back on her medication.”
The source added: “It’s going to be really tough to watch but it gives both actors a chance to really show what they’re capable of.”
Filming pictures have shown how Carla will disappear and end up living in a squat as her breakdown takes hold.
Corrie boss Iain Macleod has previously said how Carla will become paranoid about everything that is happening to her and it will see a special episode devoted to her crisis.
He said: “Carla feels correctly that everybody is out to get her and that spirals off into a slightly delusional sense that everybody [is out to get her].

“It’s a standalone episode that will be mental health focused and Carla focused.
“It will also be the reveal to the audience of who was behind the factory roof collapsing.
“It’s a really nice fusion of important, serious drama about mental health.”
