It’s a day those who follow the ITV soap have been waiting for, with the couple, dubbed ‘Swarla’ finally getting married
Coronation Street fans think they have found one problem with Lisa Swain and Carla Connor’s ‘glorious’ wedding day – but it’s not as bad as you may think.
It’s a day those who follow the ITV soap have been waiting for, with the couple, dubbed ‘Swarla’, getting engaged back in September, before the arrival of Lisa’s villianous ex, Becky Swain, put a spanner in the works.
While she had a good go at splitting Lisa and Carla up, nothing, in the end could keep the pair apart and after Becky’s downfall in January, it was confirmed that wedding bells were on the cards for the beloved couple.

During Thursday’s (April 23) episode of the ITV soap, aftering think there big day was over due to a flood runing the room they were due to marry in at the Chariot Square, Lisa told a disappointed Carla to get dressed and that they would have lunch at the hotel instead, with Debbie offering them a slap-up meal and free champers.
However, upon their arrival, Lisa surprised her by revealing their wedding was going ahead, with Lisa’s daughter, Betsy, Carla’s nephew, Ryan Connor, and her father-figure, Roy Cropper as their witnesses.
There were emotional scenes as Lisa and Carla delivered their vows to one another, before they were confirmed as wives. In another surprise, Sally Metcalfe activated the Underworld security alarm, forcing Carla to head into work, despite getting married, but upon her entry, everyone was waiting, having come together for a wedding reception, which even took Lisa by surprise as she didn’t expect the effort Carla’s workforce had put in.
After enjoying their first dance, Carla and Lisa were ushered out onto the factory balcony where they were again surprised, this time with a freworks display taking place from David Platt’s garden. They then headed back inside and with their guests gone, they reflected on their special day, before taking each other back on the dancefloor for another dance as Mrs and Mrs.
And while many thanks were hailing the perfect nuptials and thanking those involved for the representation, there was one problem for some Corrie fans – it just wasn’t enough Swarla wedding scenes, which comes after ITV changed its soap schedule at the start of the year, airing weeknightly 30 minute episodes of Corrie, instead of three lots of one hour episodes like it did previously.
@swqrlafilmz said: “Dare I say it… there wasn’t enough scenes for the wedding!” @carolineThom67 replied: “Agree!” @SamanthaC261 shared: “I loved the episode but I think it could have been even more amazing had it been an hour long. Don’t come at me as I did love it but these 30 minute eps just aren’t hitting for me.”
@AlisonSelw60139 admitted: “Not half hour episodes, 22 mins. I’ll would’ve expected a 44 mins special episode. Not a lot you can fit in a 22 minute episode. But I’ll enjoyed it anyway.” @carolineThom67 posted: “#swarla wedding. I’d have preferred more of the wedding ceremony, to be honest. Carla Connor do you take Lisa Caroline swain to be your lawful wedded wife etc etc etc. #corrie.” @NatureLover727 added: “I’ve just watched THE wedding and it’s made me emotional, the vows and the end especially. It was so good, my only criticism being I’d have liked a longer episode. @VixMyers and Ali King are amazing, we’re so lucky to have them #swarla #vickymyers #aliking #corrie.”
