Coronation Street revealed Carla Connor's fate on Friday night, after she was left for dead by killer Stephen Reid - with a temporary exit airing at the end of the episode.
Carla was rescued just in time by another character, as smoke spread quickly around her flat and the oven was on fire.
As huge flames spread out of the open oven, Roy Cropper choked as he moved through the rising smoke to stop the fire before it got any worse.
