Tony Gordon lived solely at the flat from February to November 2009 as Carla went to Los Angeles during that period after discovering that he had killed her brother-in-law (and lover) Liam. Whilst briefly staying in Weatherfield in October, Carla was attacked and almost killed by Tony's henchman Jimmy Dockerson but was saved in time by Tony. She resumed occupancy from November onwards after Tony was sent to prison for his crime.
