The factory boss feared that she was once again suffering from psychosis when she began experiencing hallucinations, but it later transpired that her condition wasn’t related to her mental health. Carla suffered a psychotic episode in 2019, after the factory roof collapsed killed her soon to be sister-in-law Rana Habeeb.

In 2023, she believed that it was happening again when serial killer Stephen Reid continually drugged her with LSD. Familiar with the symptoms, Carla was terrified that she was having another psychotic episode in tonight’s episode, and good friend Roy Cropper (David Neilson) was also deeply concerned.
