Next up, we have DS Lisa Swain and Carla Connor who seem to have an undeniable chemistry that has been evident from the moment they met. Fans of Coronation Street have been rooting for a romantic relationship between these two characters ever since they formed a close friendship. It's been heartwarming for actress Vicky Myers, who plays the formidable detective, to see how much viewers have embraced her alter-ego. In a recent interview with The Agency, she expressed her joy and gratitude for the messages, letters, and even handmade friendship bracelets that she has received from fans.
One particular bracelet, made by a young woman named Katie from Ireland, caught Vicky's attention as it had the initials "DS Swain" on it. She has also been touched by the stories and experiences that viewers have shared with her, as well as the appreciation for representing a strong and professional female character who is also a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Vicky feels honored to play such a role and understands the responsibility that comes with it. She hopes to do justice to her character and portray her with integrity.
Describing her alter-ego as a powerhouse, Vicky is not wrong! The overwhelming response from The Agency readers and beyond when it was announced that Corrie was making DS Swain a permanent character was a testament to her impact on the show. Vicky believes that it is important for her character to form strong bonds, especially after the tragic loss of her partner in the line of duty. This is where fellow icon Alison King's character, Carla, comes in. Their scenes together, where Lisa opens up and shares her vulnerability, were some of Vicky's favorites to film.
The introduction of the fan-favorite 'ship, "Swarla", has only added to the excitement surrounding these two characters. Metro's own Maisie Spackman has even expressed her support for a potential romance between the two, citing the powerful impact it could have. But will it actually happen? Vicky thinks it's possible but believes that it will have to be a slow and gradual process, especially with everything else going on in the street. She believes that Lisa could benefit from having a friend and someone to confide in, given her guarded nature and fierce protection of her family.
Speaking of family, Lisa's daughter Betsy has recently made her debut on the show, and it has added another layer to Lisa's character. Vicky has nothing but praise for her co-star Sydney Martin, who plays Betsy, and the turbulent yet loving relationship between the two characters. With Betsy being headstrong and opinionated, and Lisa struggling to balance her job and being a single mother, there is bound to be chaos. But Vicky hopes that they will have the opportunity to explore this dynamic further in the future.
However, there is another clash on the horizon for Lisa. She is still unaware that it was Joel Deering who killed Lauren and is responsible for Roy Cropper's imprisonment. Vicky is excited for this storyline to unfold and can't wait to see how Lisa will react when she finds out. Being in a similar profession and a position of trust, Joel's betrayal and abuse of power will not sit well with Lisa. She will be fierce in seeking justice for all the women he has targeted and abused, including her own daughter.
With all of this going on, Lisa will have her hands full with solving crimes and dealing with personal issues. But she will also have a growing bond with Carla, who has offered a helping hand to Lisa's daughter and has a big heart just like Lisa. Their friendship will provide a much-needed support system for Lisa, who tends to keep to herself and try to handle everything on her own.
As we eagerly wait for more drama to unfold in Coronation Street, one thing is for sure – DS Lisa Swain will have no shortage of cases to solve and challenges to face. And we can't wait to see what the future holds for her and the rest of the characters in Weatherfield.
