Major Coronation Street couple go public with romance – but not everyone is happy
Share:
Fan-favourite Coronation Street couple Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) officially made their relationship public in tonight’s episode – though not everyone was happy about it. Last week, Lisa was left feeling hurt when Carla failed to correct Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) when she referred to them as ‘girly pals’.

When Carla later asked to keep their relationship on the down-low until she felt ready to come out, Lisa agreed. However, when Lisa reacted badly to a client flirting with her, Carla made it clear that she wouldn’t put up with any possessiveness or jealousy.

As Lisa apologised, she admitted that she felt insecure having to hide their relationship, as she worried that Carla was ashamed to be with her. Carla assured her that that wasn’t the case, and promised to be open about their relationship from now on.
However, in today’s episode, Carla’s attempt at being ‘out and proud’ backfired when her announcement of their relationship to the Underworld staff left Lisa annoyed. Sorry, this video isn't available any more. Talk about mixed messages!. With rumours already circulating the factory floor thanks to LGBTQIA+ ally Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor), Carla interrupted Lisa’s rant about daughter Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) to confirm to her staff that they were seeing each other.
