Coronation Street fans are desperate for Lisa Swain and Carla Connor to tie the knot – and actress Vicky Myers addressed the possibility during an interview on This Morning
It’s the question on every Coronation Street fan’s mind – are Carla Connor and DS Lisa Swain ever going to tie the knot? The couple have fast become the soaps most loved pairing, with Vicky Myers and Alison King awarded a nomination for Best On-Screen Partnership during this year’s British Soap Awards.
This week, This Morning’s Sharon Marshall has been touring soap sets across the country, and today she stopped off in Weatherfield to chat to Vicky Myers and Calum Lil, who played Joel Deering until his character’s death earlier this year.
Giving the fans what they want, Sharon was quick to ask Vicky whether a Swarla wedding would be on the cards anytime soon. In recent episodes, Lisa proposed to Carla after a difficult day in Weatherfield following news of PC Craig Tinker’s death at the hands of villain Mick Michaelis.
Vicky Myers spoke about the possibility of a Swarla wedding on This Morning
While grieving the death of Craig at home, told Carla: “Why do we put off things we really want cos we think there’s more time?” Telling Carla there wasn’t always more time, she shared how both Craig and her former wife Becky would have had no idea that their time would run out.
Lisa then asked Carla to marry her, and although Carla didn’t say yes, she didn’t say no either. She told Lisa it will happen one day (in Ibizia), just not yet. The couple made their relationship official around Christmas time meaning they’ve only been together around six months.
Desperate to know what’s next for the couple, soap expert Sharon Marshall asked Vicky: “There was a proposal. She didn’t say no, but she didn’t exactly say yes. Is there a wedding coming up?”

Vicky, who didn’t shut down the possibility responded: “It’s definitely love. For Lisa definitely, Carla’s her soulmate. I think it would be very nice if we all packed our bags and went to Ibiza what do you think?”
Of course, Sharon was down for the trip, as was Calum Lill, however, it may prove quite difficult seeing as his character Joel Deering is long gone.
Following his exit, Calum is up for Best Villain during the British Soap Awards, as he goes up against Navin Chowdhry (Nish Panesar, EastEnders), Ned Porteous (Joe Tate, Emmerdale) and Tyler Conti (Abe Fielding, Hollyoaks).
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
