Coronation Street fans spot 'clue' Carla Connor and DS Lisa Swain romance will happen
Coronation Street fans think they have spotted a 'clue' that Carla Connor may be interested in a romance with DS Lisa Swain. Viewers of the ITV soap have been hoping for love to blossom between the pair for months.
It was back in May that they first went wild over scenes between Carla, played by Alison King, and Swain, played by Vicky Myers. They saw the detective sergeant discovering that Carla covered for her nephew Bobby Crawford when he lied in a police statement over who he saw when Lauren Bolton disappeared in a bid to aid Roy Cropper's prison release.
And despite Swain being the reason Carla's friend was behind bars at the time, over the suspected murder of the missing teen, who has since been confirmed to be alive and is back in Weatherfield, Carla was seen being sympathetic to the stressed-out detective and mum.

She did later return the favour, convincing Roy, who has since been released from prison but not before a terrifying ordeal with Griff Reynolds, to make up with his friend after he refused to speak to her over her and Bobby's attempts to put him in the clear.
Since then, the pair have continued to be in each other's lives with Swain's daughter Betsy getting her self work experience at the Underworld factory and Swain spending more time on the street as she tries to bring twisted solicitor Joel Deering down once and for all.
Recently, Corrie fans saw Betsy lash out at her mum, who was showing support for a stressed-out Carla, accusing her of bringing a new woman into their lives following the death of Becky, Swain's partner and Betsy's mum.
Then, during Monday night's episode (September 9), Betsy accused Lisa and Carla of being on a ‘date' after Swain had to take Carla in for questioning as a result of Betsy confessing to seeing Carla knock a troublesome boy off of his bike and driving off.
The news surprised Carla but Lisa made out that her theories were 'ridiculous' and promised to 'sort it'. But Carla couldn’t help but blush and smile at the whole idea - and it didn't go unnoticed by viewers of the long-running soap.
