The Agency recently had the opportunity to sit down with Vicky Myers and have a conversation about the current events happening on Coronation Street. With Joel Deering still roaming the streets as a free man, Vicky shared her thoughts on how she would like to see his character face the consequences of his actions.
As viewers of the popular ITV soap know, Joel has been revealed as the mastermind behind Lauren Bolton's disappearance. This shocking revelation came after Roy Cropper was wrongfully arrested and imprisoned for her murder. And now, notorious groomer Nathan Curtis has been charged with the crime, leaving Joel to continue living his life as if nothing has happened, including his relationship with Dee-Dee Bailey.
Detective Sergeant Swain has been heavily involved in the case since the very beginning. While she has yet to uncover the truth behind Lauren's disappearance, Vicky expressed her desire to see her character play a crucial role in Joel's downfall. In her opinion, Swain would be fierce in her pursuit of justice, especially since Joel is in a similar profession and a position of trust. His abuse of power and targeting of vulnerable women, including his own daughter, would only add fuel to the fire. Vicky also believes that this storyline will bring about female empowerment and unity among the women affected by Joel's actions.
Speaking of the storyline, Vicky praised the soap's scriptwriters and researchers for their impeccable work in collaboration with the Maggie Oliver Foundation. She hopes that this will raise awareness and help at least one person recognize the warning signs of grooming and seek help.
As for her character, Vicky admitted that the reception to her has been genuinely heartwarming since her first appearance on the show in 2021. She has received messages from people sharing their own stories and thanking her for portraying a professional, LGBTQ+ character on the iconic street. Vicky feels honored to play this role and understands the responsibility that comes with it. She hopes to do justice to her character and the issues she represents.
