Coronation Street<\/a> made history yesterday with its first-ever successful wedding between two women<\/a>, but another character seemed determined to steal the limelight \u2013 and it\u2019s very on brand.<\/p>\n Carla Connor<\/a> (Alison King<\/a>) and Lisa Swain<\/a> (Vicky Myers<\/a>) became the first women to tie the knot on the ITV<\/a> soap after 65 years on air, making them the fourth female same-sex couple to successfully tie the knot on a British soap since same-sex marriage<\/a> was legalised in 2014.<\/p>\n \u2018Soaps are extremely powerful mediums, and this wedding is a significant event to celebrate,\u2019 actress Vicky Myers said<\/a>. \u2018The power of this storyline, centring on two women falling in love, despite surrounding circumstances, and becoming each other\u2019s safe space, can spark essential conversations.<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s particularly impactful that this happens during Lesbian Visibility Week. This relationship promotes understanding and change<\/a>, especially considering the persistent issue of homophobia and the current gradual retraction of rights despite past progress.\u2019<\/p>\n She went on to express how \u2018honoured\u2019 she felt that Lisa and Carla were able to get hitched in \u2018a truly beautiful, history-making moment<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018They offer crucial visibility by confidently showing public affection, their life is not kept behind closed doors. Their frequent presence on screen holds the power to prompt lasting change.\u2019<\/p>\n And this visibility is set to continue, with fans thrilled<\/a> to notice that the credits of the episode had changed to reflect their new double-barrelled surnames.<\/p>\n However, they couldn\u2019t help but notice something hilarious about the order of the credits\u2026<\/p>\n Sally, who has a lesbian daughter, don\u2019t you know. In between her 2 new lesbian best friends \ud83d\ude02 This made me chuckle.
