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.

Next week's Hollyoaks episodes are set to be emotional ones for Frankie Osborne as she continues to open up to her loved ones and to think that Isabelle Smith only arrived on our screens in January of this year. When asked how would you describe the Osborne/ Ashworth family dynamic over the past few months, Isabelle said  "The family dynamic between the Osborne’s and the Ashworth’s has been tricky to navigate for each individual family member..." Before continuing "Her mum Suzanne, Darren and Nancy clash on differing opinions and the outbursts that Frankie has. These acts of defiance are Frankie’s way of coping and they seem to be dividing the family when all she really wants is for them to surround her with support." Frankie's sibling relationship with Oscar has grown over the past few months since she learned sign language, can you please us about this?  "The relationship between Frankie and Oscar is some of my favourite scenes to play! It’s like Fran

It's hard to believe that Isabelle Smith only arrived on our screens in the Chester based soap Hollyoaks in January 2024 which has seen her character, Frankie Osborne go through some tough times. Over the past few months in Hollyoaks, Frankie Osborne has had a tough time, but viewers have seen Grace Black support Frankie during Monday 22nd July's episode on E4 where Frankie opened up to her uncle, Freddie Roscoe who was in a coma at the time.  You could see a change in the character once this had happened as the vulnerability shines through in an emotional scene. You can really understand the turmoil in Frankie as all she wants to do is protect her loved ones. Photo Credit: Lime Pictures/ Hollyoaks *Written as I watched on E4* During last Thursday's episode (15th August) viewers saw the start of Frankie breaking down following her ordeal which saw her become even more anxious around her brother, JJ following her slip-up during a conversation with Darren Osborne, you only ha

HOLLYOAKS REVIEW - FRANKIE OPENED UP AS ISABELLE SMITH DELIVERS SOME EMOTIONAL SCENES

Since Isabelle Smith  arrived on our screens back in January, Hollyoaks viewers have seen a hard-hitting storyline for her character, Frankie Osborne who since  February has had tough relationships with Osborne family especially Nancy and Jack, and looking back now you can see the cries for help with her moods, attitude, and vulnerability that have changed across the past 6 months. Frankie's used dance as her escape seeing her audition for dance school. With Darren having been the one wanting to protect Frankie with everything that has arose. One of my favourite moments was Frankie learning sign language so she could communicate with Oscar allowing people to see the caring side to the character. The first appearance of Frankie Osborne came in Wednesday's episode (4th September) where her dance place got deferred leaving her devastated as Darren continued to support Frankie seeing her become emotional about her return to school it was clear how much Darren has Frankie's best
