In the meantime, Carla and DS Swain will light up Coronation Street next week as they have a sweet moment. Carla is left feeling perplexed by what happened, but did Lisa also experience it? If so, what does that mean for the two of them?

Star of Carla Alison King discussed the plot, saying, “I’m loving working with Vicky [Myers], who plays DS Swain; she’s very talented and an absolute trooper.” I’m glad to see their friendship blossoming since it’s revealing a more vulnerable aspect of both of them than just two incredibly tough ladies.

“Rather than everything being mixed with guys, it’s good to see Carla opening out to another woman. Suddenly, she is surrounded by someone who truly understands her. At home, she and Ryan share a closeness and playful banter, but with Lisa, she may reveal the vulnerability that she frequently conceals. In that sense, they are completely different from one other, which is why Lisa finds it endearing even though she takes it so seriously.”

Regarding Carla’s perplexity, she continued, “I believe that this friendship is taking her by surprise at every turn. Carla feels a sense of concern for them, although she sometimes struggles to identify what is causing it.”
