Vicky Myers, who is best known for playing DS Lisa Connor-Swain in Corrie, has been bowled over by the support
Coronation Street star Vicky Myers has said the support she receives is ‘never taken for granted’ as she was flooded with more following her latest major boost.
The actress, from Stockport, is best known for playing DS Lisa Connor-Swain in the ITV soap, filmed in Salford, and first debuted in the role in 2021.
However, as fans know, it wasn’t until early 2024 that Corrie announced Vicky as one of its new regular cast members, and she hasn’t been far from the centre of the drama in Weatherfield ever since.

So it may come as no surprise that her various storylines of late have seen Vicky become a fan-favourite among those who follow the long-running show, and, therefore, resulted in her picking up two gongs at the Inside Soap Awards 2026, which were held in Manchester on Monday (September 21) night, the first time the awards have been held outside of London.
As well as Best Actress, Vicky also walked away with the Best Partnership prize for her and her co-star Alison King, who plays on-screen wife Carla Connor Swain. It comes after she walked away with the same two awards at last year’s ceremony.
Reflecting on her latest awards wins in a post on Instagram, shared on Wednesday (September 23), Vicky said: “About last night…THANK YOU! Thank you to @insidesoapmagazine for the nominations and for organising such a fantastic night. I am so proud to be a very small part of this iconic show’s history and my goodness, I do not take any of it for granted.
Heartfelt thanks to EVERYONE who voted for me in the Best Actress category and for Ali and I, for Best Partnership. You are the BEST, you really are, and I am so humbled yet full of gratitude.”
She continued: “Your unwavering support is never taken for granted, not for one second! You wonderful lot made this happen and I am absolutely delighted, if not a little dewy-eyed. As you know, the results are solely based on viewers’ votes and that makes it even more special. Thanks again.
“Congratulations to @garpierce @justjude7 @jamescartywright @danielbrocklebank too. Happy 30th Birthday @insidesoapmagazine. Love and hugs.”
And it didn’t take long for her post to be flooded with comments. @editedbysoph said: “You deserve all the love and appreciation! You’re so talented, beautiful and kind – that really shines through. Congratulations once again! Love you!” @eileen.hlzw commented: “So proud and so deserved! You are amazing, beautiful and so so kind hearted. I’m so happy for you, you and Ali what you’ve achieved and built is absolutely extraordinary. Sending love.”
