Corrie Carla Connor lesbian lover’s identity ‘revealed’ after shutting down DS Swain
Corrie fans are certain Carla is going to shack up with someone - and after actress Alison King shut down rumours of a DS Swain romance, it’s been ‘revealed’ who it could actually be
Coronation Street Carla Connor’s lesbian lover has been rumbled – and it’s not DS Swain.
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.
And this week, amid fans’ certainty that Carla and Swain will get together, actress Alison addressed Carla’s relationships. Seemingly shutting down the likelihood of a new romance, Alison said: “I don’t think she’s ready for another relationship at all.”
However, Daily Star has now quizzed one of the world’s most popular artificially intelligent “creative” tools Gemini, to see who Carla could shack up with on the soap. The program responded with characters that “Carla Connor could potentially develop a lesbian relationship with, based on speculation and past storylines.”
The system said Toyah Battersby is a possibility due to “shared experiences.” It explained: “Both characters are strong, independent women who have been through a lot. They could find comfort and understanding in each other.
Another option could be Daisy Midgeley. Gemini added: “It would be a new dynamic on the show, and unexplored territory for both characters. This could lead to interesting development for both Carla and Daisy.”
While the third person could be “someone new in Weatherfield.” Gemini said: “Coronation Street is constantly introducing new characters.
“There’s always the chance a new arrival could catch Carla’s eye and vice versa. It would be a fresh start for Carla and allow the writers to explore a whole new relationship dynamic.”
