Coronation Street’s Vicky Myers has shared a “thank you” message to fans as she shared a personal update. The 49-year-old actress has portrayed D.S Lisa Swain on the iconic cobbles since 2021. She has been at the heart of the drama on the ITV soap in recent weeks as fans were overjoyed to see the police detective finally propose to her partner Carla Connor.
Fans have fallen in love with the couple, nicknaming them “Swarla”. Carla and Lisa have recently purchased a house on Coronation Street, making history as the first same-sex couple to do so.

However, the couple’s proposal bubble didn’t last long as they were shocked by the arrival of Lisa’s ex Becky Swain, who supposedly died four years ago. Lisa had the shock of a lifetime when the wife she thought had been killed turned up in her living room.
Coronation Street fans weren’t happy with the arrival of Becky, who is set to shake things up in Lisa and Carla’s love bubble. Away from the screen, actress Vicky Myers has updated her fans on a personal update away from the cobbles.
