EXCLUSIVE: Coronation Street fans will see different side to DS Swain as star teases ‘big shock’

Coronation Street star Vicky Myers has revealed fans will see a very different side to DS Swain in the coming weeks on the ITV soap, as she revealed all on a major twist

Coronation Street fans will see DS Swain in a different light, following the soap’s latest big twist.

Viewers found out this week that a new character, only known as ‘Sabrina’s mate’, was in fact the daughter of police detective Lisa Swain. Betsy made her debut in a recent episode as she helped Sabrina through drama, only to meet villain Joel Deering.

Betsy had only been seen in scenes with Sabrina and Joel until Friday’s episode, when her true identity was confirmed. Swain was seen finding her teenaged daughter near the Weatherfield Precinct, with her texting Joel asking for more money amid her blackmailing him.

Swain clashed with her daughter as she refused to get in her car, with Swain eager to get home. This was the first time viewers had seen the pair onscreen together, with Betsy finally identified.

But viewers can expect to see much more drama for the duo, and a completely different side to Swain. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, actress Vicky Myers reacted to the “big shock”, and teased what was ahead for the characters

She said of Betsy’s debut: “I think it’s going to be a big shock. I hope it’ll be a big reveal, that’s what we want. I think it’ll be interesting to see what she is like as a mum.

“Everything that’s happened that has created what their situation and relationship is now, Betsy lost her mum so tragically and in the line of duty. She’s watching her mum go out to work in the same profession she lost her other mum [in], and it was in her early teens.

“Her mum chose to go straight back [to work]. She’s inadvertently pushed Betsy away and it’s really quite sad. So this relationship is fractured, it’s broken cos they are both petrified of losing each other.

“So in that we’ve got this clash and they have written it so beautifully, the backstory and depth to it is wonderful. Sydney [Martin] is a joy, absolutely wonderful. What a terrific actress she is. I lucked out when they cast her, I’m learning from her. She is great, she’s a beautiful woman offscreen as well.”
