It’s a big week for the detective sergeant as she and fiancee Carla Connor will tie the knot
Coronation Street fans were quick to share their upset on Lisa Swain’s behalf as they made a ‘heartbreaking’ observation about the popular character.
It’s a big week for the detective sergeant as she and fiancee Carla Connor will tie the knot, making them the first two women to successfully do so in the ITV soap’s 65-year history.
Ahead of their nuptials taking place, during Sunday’s (April 19) episode of Corrie saw Carla heading to the Chariot Square Hotel where she was seen being shown around by her nephew, Ryan Connor, as she plotted what the day will look like, finding out that that event won’t be totally private as hotel guests will still be able to mingle in shared areas.

But Carla was soon distracted as she picked up a phonecall from Sheila, the maternal grandmother of her baby niece, Connie. As Corrie fans know, the little one recently ended up in Carla and Lisa’s care after Sheila needed someone to look after Connie, the daughter of Carla’s brother, Rob Donovan, while she headed into the hospital for an operation.
Sheila confirmed to Carla that she was now well enough to look after Connie again, and back at No.6, a clearly upset Carla was seen packing up the tot’s belongings and avoiding having to say goodbye. Eventually, Lisa stepped in but before Carla could say a farewell to Connie, Sheila arrived.
Despite being heartbroken by Connie’s departure, as they saying goes, the show must go on, and Lisa was seen preparing for her big day by practising her wedding vows on her daughter, Betsy. Her mum’s words left the teen in tears, ones she couldn’t stop when Carla emerged and wondered what was going on.
As Betsy gushed over Lisa’s vows, panic swept through Carla’s body and she later turned to Betsy herself, revealing she was considering using the internet to help her write her vows, until the teen stepped in.
With vows put to one side, Tuesday’s (April 21) episode of Corrie saw it was time for Carla’s hen and while she and Betsy headed for a night in the Rovers Return, Lisa went off to what she thought would be her own hen organised by her police colleagues. However, as Sally Metcalfe nipped out to the corner shop for some supplies, she found Lisa looking at meals for one.
She dragged her over to the Rovers where Carla and Betsy were quick to feel sorry for the DS when she revealed her colleagues hadn’t actually planned anything at all. While Lisa said she was fine with that being the case and she didn’t want to crash Carla’s night, her future wife gave her no choice and she was soon sporting a devil horn headband like the rest of the partygoers.
But the moment did get Corrie fans flocking to social media. @terrilindsay said: “Right @itvcorrie I need you to give Lisa some friends or more family because this is the saddest thing ever. Also whilst I’m putting my requests in, can we have her birthday as well please? Cheers #Swarla.” @ediitedbysoph asked: “Why Corrie? WHY ARE YOU DOING LISA LIKE THAT?!?”
@carrlaconnor complained: “Right so who on that writing staff has it out for lisa swain and is hell bent on humiliating her at every turn?” @WayhaughtLunar commented: “Right who do I need to speak to, to get Lisa some friends because that was just heartbreaking watching her having to admit no one organised anything for her! #Swarla #Corrie.”
@lifesinpiecesx posted: “That was cute but I’d convinced myself there was a really good reason Lisa wasn’t having a hen night, not just that she doesn’t have any friends #swarla.” But @Emmmmmer added: “As sad as it makes me that she has no friends,I actually kinda find it intriguing. Why doesn’t she have friends?Has she always had no friends? I wish they would dig deeper into her backstory so we could understand why she is the way she is.Her character is fascinating #swarla.”
