In a candid interview, Vicky Myers, best known for playing DS Lisa Swain on Coronation Street, opened up about the challenges she faced in the past year. Not only was she diagnosed with cancer, but she also went through a tough divorce that put her acting career on hold.
During this difficult time, Vicky had to find ways to make ends meet and took a break from auditions to work in an office. She also had to balance her career with raising her teenage daughter, Meghan. Reflecting on these struggles, Vicky shared, "I don't know if it's because of my previous health issues, but I am grateful to be alive and living each day to the fullest."
Her health struggles and personal hardships forced Vicky to re-evaluate her priorities and focus on what truly matters. She admitted to feeling bitter and vengeful after her divorce, but her cancer diagnosis helped her find peace and appreciate the present moment. She revealed, "When I was told I had cancer, I thought to myself, 'If this is it for me, I've missed out on so much time with my daughter and I haven't been the person I wanted to be.'"
Vicky's journey to recovery was not an easy one. She shared that her nephew's heart condition led to her cancer diagnosis. A routine check-up revealed a dark mark on her leg that turned out to be cancerous. She credits this discovery to "an angel watching over [her]" that day.
Despite the challenges she faced, Vicky's career on Coronation Street continued to thrive. Earlier this year, it was announced that she had signed a regular contract to play DS Swain. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Vicky shared the news on Instagram, writing, "DS Swain is here to stay. Needless to say, I am delighted!"
On the show, Vicky's character Lisa is currently in the middle of a gripping storyline. After the death of Joel Deering, Lisa is determined to solve the case, even though she has been taken off the investigation for being too emotionally involved. Fans have been captivated by Lisa's actions and have speculated if she may have been the one to kill Joel.
Off-screen, Vicky's character Lisa recently shared a charged moment with Carla Connor, a long-standing character on the show. Carla tried to comfort Lisa when she opened up about her mental health struggles, but the chemistry between them became too much for Lisa, and she had to leave. Since then, they have decided to prioritize their friendship, but viewers are left wondering how long that will last.
