The love story between Carla Connor and Lisa Swain has been a sensation on Coronation Street, captivating fans from all around the world. I had the pleasure of speaking with Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa, at the British Soap Awards. She couldn't help but gush about the overwhelming support from the fans. "It's absolutely fantastic, isn't it?" she exclaimed. "It's a true testament to their dedication and connection to our characters."
Despite their relatively short time together, Carla and Lisa have faced numerous challenges, including a rushed move-in and a failed proposal. From harrowing events like kidnappings and shootings to more personal struggles such as kidney failure, their relationship has endured more in just a few months than most couples do in a lifetime. But Vicky assures me that there are some happy moments on the horizon, along with more obstacles to overcome.
"There's a lot in store for them, but there are also moments of pure happiness. And, of course, there will be some bumps in the road. But that's just like any real relationship or family life. And with them living together in a small flat, it'll be interesting to see how they navigate through it all." Vicky reflects on the complexities of portraying a same-sex family on-screen and the importance of representing the different emotions and dynamics that come with it.
"It's quite refreshing to see a family with two mums on television," she says. "There's so much to explore and understand in that dynamic, especially with the added layer of grief that Lisa and her daughter Betsy are experiencing. And for Carla, it's a whole new type of relationship. I don't want to speak for Ali, who plays Carla, but we do discuss it and we're both thrilled to be a part of it."
And let's not forget the recent hint of a possible wedding in Ibiza. Vicky's eyes light up at the thought. "Wouldn't that be amazing? I'm all for it! Let's pack our bags and head to Ibiza!" she exclaims with a smile. With such a talented and passionate cast, it's no wonder Carla and Lisa's love story has captured the hearts of viewers everywhere.
