Coronation Street’s Vicky Myers Flooded With Support After Emotional Award Nomination
From Weatherfield Detective to Fan Favourite
Coronation Street star Vicky Myers has been showered with love after celebrating a personal “win” with her fans. The actress, best known for playing DS Lisa Swain, revealed she has been shortlisted for two major honours at the upcoming Inside Soap Awards 2025.
Myers first appeared in the ITV soap in 2021, investigating the brutal attack on Nina Lucas and Seb Franklin. Over time, her character became more integrated into life on the cobbles, eventually moving from detective work into personal drama — most notably her fiery relationship with Carla Connor (Alison King).
Fans have affectionately dubbed the couple “Swarla,” and the pairing has become one of Weatherfield’s standout love stories. But recent months have been anything but smooth, with Lisa’s shocking reunion with her wife Becky — thought to have died years earlier — sending her life into turmoil.
Nominations That Mean the World
On the back of these powerful storylines, Myers has landed a Best Actress nomination, competing against EastEnders’ Lacey Turner, Emmerdale’s Beth Cordingly, and Hollyoaks’ Isabell Smith.
She is also recognised in the Best Partnership category alongside Alison King, with “Swarla” going up against fan favourites from EastEnders, Emmerdale, and Hollyoaks.
Sharing the news with fans, Myers wrote on Instagram:
“To be nominated is a win in itself. Thank you so much for your valued support. You’re the best! #Swarla #Swain.”
She echoed her gratitude on X (formerly Twitter), thanking fans for their backing in both categories.
Fans React: “Already a Winner”
Soap viewers rushed to congratulate the actress, with many praising her performances in recent episodes:
