Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street star Vicky Myers has confirmed Lisa Swain’s role in the show’s new murder mystery storyline<\/a> \u2013 backing her to crack the case.<\/p>\n

Lisa’s life is about to take a dramatic turn as she’s called upon to help investigate after one familiar face is found dead.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Corrie announced plans to kill off a villainous character<\/a> \u2013 with Carl Webster, Jodie Ramsey, Maggie Driscoll, Megan Walsh and Theo Silverton named as the five possible victims.<\/p>\n

Fans get their first hint of the storyline later this week, when a loud scream is heard during Lisa and Carla Connor’s wedding<\/a>. Next week’s episodes then rewind to explore each possible outcome in turn.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to us about the big story, Vicky explained: “Lisa will be there to show support as a mother because Betsy finds the body. But there are also potential changes to Carla and Lisa’s honeymoon and the plans that they had. <\/p>\n

“Lisa booked the time off, but she will also be needed at work, so she’ll be stepping back into DS Swain\u2026 or the new DS Lisa Connor-Swain<\/a>!”<\/p>\n

She continued: “Lisa has felt quite disjointed where work is concerned. She’s felt under pressure, so she’s itching to get back out there.<\/p>\n

“It’s extremely complicated because there are so many people in the frame. Where do you go from there? It’s going to be a long investigation, but that is exactly where she wants it to be. She doesn’t want a quick nick, even though she’s under pressure.”<\/p>\n

Lisa and Kit Green’s work will also be overseen by a new face at the police station, who’ll surely want to stamp out all of the corruption and dodgy dealings we’ve seen over the past couple of years. <\/p>\n

“DI Costello is no longer there and quite right too,” Vicky told us. “So there’s a new DI who wants to do everything by the book and is putting pressure on \u2013 not just on Lisa but also Kit and everyone who’s in the station.<\/p>\n

“It’s also important to her, because this is on her watch. So no matter how long it takes, she will get there in the end\u2026”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
