Corrie fans were left feeling emotional after getting what they called ‘crumbs’ of one of Weatherfield’s most popular couples, Lisa and Carla Connor-Swain
Coronation Street fans were left feeling emotional after getting what they called ‘crumbs’ of one of Weatherfield’s most popular couples after they were seen celebrating a major anniversary.
As fans of the ITV soap, which is filmed in Salford, know, Lisa Swain and Carla Connor finally tied the knot back in April, and it was a long time coming for those who follow the long-running show.
The nuptials followed a turbulent time for the two women, which included the return of Lisa’s ex-wife, Becky Swain, shortly after Lisa and Carla got engaged and moved into their first home, No.6 Coronation Street.

After Becky nearly tore the pair apart, Lisa and Carla were reunited, and with the latter was seen excitedly booking her and Lisa’s big day, which then took place during the Corrie episode which aired on April 23.
There was almost a hitch, as at first, the nuptials appeared to be off due to a flood, caused by Carl Webster, at the Chariot Square Hotel. But after some words of encouragement from Ryan Connor, Lisa formed a plan, with the wedding eventually going ahead, and the big day made Corrie history, as it’s the first time two women have successfully tied the knot in Weatherfield.
On Thursday (September 3), Corrie fans were seen marking a year since the An Officer and a Gentleman-inspired engagement took place, but some admitted their disappointment that the couple, now Lisa and Carla Connor-Swain, didn’t feature in the episode of the long-running show which aired on the same day.
But it was in Friday’s (September 4) episode of Corrie that fans of the couple, dubbed ‘Swarla’, got a glimpse of the wives – sort of. DC Kit Green was seen in their office at Weatherfield Police Station, and while DS Connor-Swain wasn’t around, those watching did get a glimpse of her desk, and spotted some new pictures from her and Carla’s big day had made an appearance, much to their delight.
@AllAbout_Swarla said: “Lisa has pictures of her whole family on her desk now. The fact that she framed her wedding photos and added a family picture too… I’m crying #Swarla #Corrie.” @MargheritAxen commented: “LISA CONNOR SWAIN. Not only the wedding photos but also the one with Ryan and Betsy on the sofa. She really wanted this family with Carla very much!! #Swarla.”
@carlaconnorsgf commented: “Sobbing at lisa framing the wedding pictures on her work desk and adding a family one as well.” @editedbysoph posted: “Soooo let’s discuss the crumbs…the family photo is from the same photo day as the one in the house. Is it Ryan and Betsy on the couch and #swarla behind them? Have we seen it before?”
@TVMusings26 noted: “The wedding photos have hit DS CONNOR-SWAIN’S desk!!!! And the core four family photo! #Corrie.” @Larafk83 added: “Oh this warms my heart – we may not have had Swarla today but we got pictures on Lisa’s desk at work. 2 of them on their wedding day and a family picture of the 4 them as well. They are a family! #Swarla #Family #Coronationstreet.”
