Coronation Street will delve into DS Lisa Swain's backstory next week, revealing the tragic death of her partner. The detective, who has become a regular on the cobbles while investigating Lauren Bolton's disappearance, will be seen struggling with her teenage daughter's grief.
In upcoming episodes, DS Swain interrogates Carla Connor about her falling out with Roy Cropper, suspecting she lied to help free him. However, Carla overhears Swain arguing with her daughter on the phone and offers a sympathetic ear. Swain then reveals that her partner died, leaving her daughter struggling to cope.
Later in the week, Carla offers Swain's daughter work experience at the factory. Actress Vicky Myers, who plays Swain, previously teased that the character is a single mother and gay, hinting at a potential romance on the cobbles. She also revealed that Swain's daughter, a 16-year-old feisty and opinionated character, is being cast.
Myers expressed delight at becoming a regular on the show, stating it was a 'massive opportunity' and that they are 'only just scratching the surface' with Swain. Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
