Coronation Street's Carla reels over Ryan's unexpected admission before Lisa proposal

There's panic for one Coronation Street resident next week as they plan the ultimate proposal for their partner. A relative's admission about how big the gesture could be leaves Carla Connor reeling.

With her planning on proposing to her partner Lisa Swain that same week, her ideas are left in array when Ryan's assumption about how it will go down leaves his aunt stumbling. It seems they have very different ideas about what the proposal will look like.

It comes as spoilers reveal Carla plans to propose to Lisa in The Rovers next Friday, wanting the engagement ring dropped in a glass of champagne. Prior to the proposal day, Carla is thrilled when the ring finally arrives and is delivered to her new home with Lisa and Ryan.

Ryan is equally buzzing over it all, having been let in on Carla's secret plan the day prior. Carla turns to her nephew as she discusses her plan to pop the question, months on from Lisa initially asking Carla to marry her.

When Carla suggested the timing wasn't right, they both agreed it wasn't what they wanted. But months on and Carla is ready to return the favour, this time with her doing the asking.

Lisa has no idea what's going on, as the preview clip shows the moment Carla shows Ryan the parcel containing the ring. He's excited for Carla, as he asks her if it's what he thinks it is.

With it all becoming real, Carla grins as she shares her nerves over what she's planning, admitting she's never given anyone an engagement ring before. Ryan teases her about her romantic past before reassuring her that all will go well.

Pointing out that Lisa had already asked her earlier in the year, Carla shares her worry that since then she may have changed her mind. But Ryan is on hand to remind her how much Lisa loves her, just as the detective walks through the door - preparing for her first day off desk duty.

Spotting the parcel, Lisa questions Ryan about it and he has to think on his feet - pretending he's ordered some pants online. Carla's nervous that Lisa will figure out what's going on but manages to get her to leave the room.

It's then that Ryan makes a comment that leaves his aunt clearly panicked. Assuming Lisa would want Carla to go all out with a big romantic gesture with the proposal, he comments on her getting down on one knee and making a fuss.

Carla laughs this off making it clear she hasn't got that in mind, not expecting Lisa to want it either. When Ryan comments that "no woman ever" would say no to a fuss-filled proposal, Carla's visibly thrown and no doubt left questioning if her own ideas are good enough - but will she alter her plan?
