Coronation Street<\/a>‘s Carla Connor and Lisa Swain\u2019s romance has been rocked by a return from the dead, a string of medical emergencies and even kidnapping and imprisonment. Now as they prepare to marry and live happily ever after, a flood wrecks their wedding venue.<\/p>\n

“Carla feels absolutely devastated, or as she might put it, \u2018well narked\u2019,\u201d says Alison King who has played the factory boss since 2006. \u201cThis is supposed to be the best day of her life, and now it\u2019s all ruined. She is not happy, and it\u2019s everybody\u2019s fault, even though it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Lisa refuses to miss out on their special day, and she takes action to make sure she and Carla get married after Carla\u2019s nephew Ryan tells her that getting married matters more than the perfect wedding day.<\/p>\n

Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa, explains, \u201cIt\u2019s something that Ryan says that Carla had said to him. It\u2019s basically about how Carla just wants to marry Lisa. Any hour, any venue will do, and that sets something off in Lisa. She realises they don\u2019t need all of this big fuss, which Carla didn\u2019t particularly want anyway. It was more about the intimacy between the two of them. So Ryan and Lisa try to set some wheels in motion and recover the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

With help, Lisa surprises Carla and the wedding goes ahead. But just as the happy couple are celebrating, there\u2019s a dark twist that will impact the whole street.<\/p>\n

A flashforward scene in February revealed that a brutal murder whodunnit would rock Weatherfield. The scenes showed Lisa\u2019s daughter Betsy [Sydney Martin] finding a body on the day of her mum\u2019s wedding, before being questioned by police. As Lisa and Carla\u2019s wedding celebrations continue into the night, viewers will hear a terrifying scream as the murder takes place. Viewers also find out the identity of the victim.<\/p>\n

Carla actress Alison, 53, was thrilled to find out her character\u2019s happy occasion would be rocked by a death in true soap style. \u201cI thought it was great!\u201d she says. \u201cNow that\u2019s drama. That\u2019s how it has to be.<\/p>\n

\"Now<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m just glad it wasn\u2019t our drama and that the wedding happened and they had their day!\u201d With Betsy discovering the body and Lisa being in the police, the murder will have a deep effect on the couple.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also be a trial for Carla and Lisa at the start of married life as Betsy is the one who finds the body so they have got something difficult to deal with from day one of married life,\u201d says Vicky, 50. \u201cAs a family after what they have been through I think they feel very equipped now to be able to deal with things as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the Corriedale crash that left Lisa seriously injured, to Carla\u2019s kidnapping at the hands of Lisa\u2019s evil ex Becky, their two-year romance has been an eventful time for the couple. However, Alison and Vicky both agree their characters have found their soul mate.<\/p>\n

\"Lisa<\/p>\n

\u201cCarla loves Lisa Swain because she’s like sweet and sour and she sees that in herself as well, so she likes the vulnerable side, and the fact that Lisa has shown that to her,\u201d says Alison. \u201cLisa was a huge turning point for her. The fact that she liked her, like that, is everything, really. It was the person, not the gender, that didn’t come into it. They don’t need each other. They chose to be together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vicky reckons it\u2019s Carla\u2019s loyalty and her bond with Lisa\u2019s daughter Betsy that has kept the couple united. \u201cThere was something instantly between the two of them,\u201d says the actress.<\/p>\n

\u201cLisa respects Carla, she respects her as a businesswoman and as a woman in general, the loyalty she has to her family and friends, and the way that even in the first conversation that they had, Carla was interested in Lisa’s own daughter. They trust each other and they talk. They look out for each other and they will stand by each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"With<\/p>\n

While this is Lisa\u2019s first wedding in Weatherfield Carla is no stranger to soap nuptials. When she joined the soap Carla was married to Paul Connor, before she wed villain Tony Gordon in 2008. Carla has also married Peter Barlow twice, in 2013 and 2021, while she briefly married Nick Tilsley in 2016.<\/p>\n

Alison says this wedding is different to Carla\u2019s previous nuptials. \u201cI was relieved it wasn\u2019t a big wedding and there was no big dress for Carla this time,\u201d shares Alison. \u201cThe surprise reception at Underworld is Carla\u2019s favourite bit.<\/p>\n

“She likes to feel that even though she shouts at everybody, they still love her – all the workforce. So she likes to be part of something. Those factory workers are Carla\u2019s family. It is her safe place.\u201d<\/p>\n
