COMING UP ON CORONATION STREET: SPARKS FLY BETWEEN DS SWAIN AND CARLA CONNOR AS ALISON KING OPENS UP ABOUT WORKING WITH VICKY MYERS

-
Over recent weeks, viewers have seen DS Lisa Swain be there for Carla Connor through a mutual friendship for the pair having seen them lean on each other in there time of needs.

Coronation Street episodes viewers are set to see sparks fly between the pair as they share a tender moment leaving Carla confused. Vicky Myers and Alison King work well together and I am interested to see what is next for the pair of characters.

With Lisa and Carla being strong characters in Weatherfield over the past few months these two extremely strong ladies have let their strong guard downs and explored their vulnerabilities with Lisa as a parent and widow and Carla as a divorcee and business woman.

Alison King recently opened up about filming with Vicky Myers and the characters friendship stating "I’m loving working with Vicky, she’s an absolute trooper and she’s very talented. I'm enjoying seeing their friendship coming through, with this friendship we’re seeing a more vulnerable side in them both, rather than just two very strong women. It's nice to see Carla opening up to another woman, rather than it all being intermingled with men. She’s suddenly got somebody around that really gets her. She has that closeness and banter with Ryan at home but with Lisa she can show that vulnerability that she so often hides. Lisa’s so serious but she quite likes it and she doesn't really know why, because in that sense they're polar opposite."

Conversation quickly turned to Betsy, DS Swain's daughter who Carla has taken on at Underworld where she constantly brings trouble to Carla's door, why does she keep sticking up for her? "She definitely sees her younger self in Betsy, even though Betsy’s more privileged than Carla was when she was little. Carla grew up from absolutely nothing, whereas Betsy’s got these steady arms around but she can see the vulnerability, because she's missing something and is acting out because of it. Now, when Carla was young, she was used to that and acted out so she can pick up on the missing links and understand her, because she was like that at her age. Lisa’s giving herself such a hard time, telling herself I can’t do this, I'm not worthy. But there's something in Carla that goes, well I can, I can tell her what's what because I've been there. I think it’s surprised Carla and she’s actually quite enjoying it, because she's not had a child to bring up, she lost the chance of having her daughter and she did really really want that. She can handle Betsy, she finds her quite funny and the things she does amusing, because she’s done them herself. She knows Betsy, she gets her."

What does this mean for Carla and Lisa going forward?

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday's at 8pm on ITV and ITVX.

CORONATION STREET REVIEW LAUREN BOLTON & MAX TURNER'S FLASHBACK EPISODE ALONGSIDE PADDY BEVER QUOTES

During tonight's episode (13th November) of Coronation Street viewers were treated to a series of flashbacks this time in the frame are Lauren Bolton and Max Turner who only recently got back together are the ones I have been most excited to see having said to friends for weeks they definitely have to be involved somehow if they were suspects thinking back to everything she's been through.  However, Monday's episode (11th November) Lauren's body language dramatically change in my opinion, and Max's side eye following Ed Bailey buying him a drink, but it was Sabrina Adetiba's sudden reappearance that left me with even more questions. The opening sequence was brilliant with the level of added dialogue as they recapped at the suspects, but Carla Connor's look towards Lauren Bolton during the flashback which entered to real time was interestingly delivered camera angles. With Lauren's son Frankie set to be discharged viewers saw young mum Lauren became incre...
