Corrie Carla and Swain’s romance ‘sealed’ after biggest clue yet – and fans go wild
Coronation Street fans are certain that Carla Connor will be shacking up with DS Lisa Swain - and in the latest episode it appeared the soap dropped its biggest hint yet
Coronation Street fans are more certain than ever that Carla Connor and DS Swain will strike up a romance after spotting a ‘clue.’
Fans will recall that Carla, who first appeared on the ITV soap in 2006, was left heartbroken at the start of the year. Her marriage to Peter Barlow came to an end when he left the cobbles.
Since then, things have gone from bad to worse for the beloved resident. A few months ago, her good pal Roy Cropper found himself arrested for the murder of Lauren Bolton.
Roy was ultimately released from Prison last week. What’s more, amid all the drama that’s been going down on the cobbles, it appears Carla has stopped looking for love.
However, in recent weeks, the soap has teased Carla’s surprise romance with DS Lisa Swain. The copper, played by Vicky Myers, has been involved in many big storylines over the years.
Recently, Carla and Swain worked together in a bid to try and figure out what happened to missing Lauren. And in emotional scenes, Carla even found herself consoling Swain while they were together in Swain’s cop car.
The copper broke down in floods of tears over her dead wife and her estranged daughter. And it didn’t take long for Carla to comfort her. But during Monday’s episode (June 10) it appears the soap dropped its biggest hint yet that the pair could shack up.
In the episode, DS Swain arrived at the factory to ask Carla about setting up work experience for her teenage daughter. She said to Carla: “If could get a date fixed for my daughter’s work experience.”
Now fans think that could be hinting towards their potential romance. On X, one person said: “Swain slipping the word ‘date’ into her conversation with Carla. This is deliberate.”
Someone else added: “What I just heard was Swain asking Carla for a date.“ A third wrote: “I smell some tension between Carla and Swain.”
Another penned: “Says a lot about the power Lisa Swain has that one brief scene of her dressed casually is enough to send the whole timeline into meltdown.”
