Fans questioned the disapearance of one character as Carla seemed to confirm that Lisa had officially moved in
Coronation Street fans have flocked to social media to question the disappearance of one character as Carla Connor seemed to confirm that DS Lisa Swain had officially moved in.
Fans of the ITV soap were delighted last year when Carla and Lisa finally gave into their feelings after months of growing closer to one another and a ‘charged’ moment during the autumn.
But their new relationship has already faced challenges with Lisa looking into the death of her partner Becky while on duty and now Carla’s health in a worrying state.
As viewers have seen, Carla was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with sepsis. Doctors later confirmed that the infection had badly damaged her kidney, and it’s since been confirmed she’ll need a transplant seven years after she last faced one. While scared for her future, Carla has made it clear she doesn’t want her family to be donors.
Her request, however, hasn’t stopped her nephew Bobby Crawford getting his dad, and Carla’s brother, Rob Donovan involved. Last week, Carla was seen paying her brother a visit and despite his offer, Carla told Rob that she doesn’t trust him and thinks “he’s up to something”.
Once back at the hospital, Carla told Lisa and Bobby she still “doesn’t buy” Rob’s act, but said if he’s really serious about giving her a kidney then she won’t stop him from doing the test to see if he’s compatible. She then later discovered that she’d have to go private if she wanted her jailed brother to be her donor. Due to the costs involved with keeping a prisoner in hospital, the transplant was likely to cost £100,000 in total.
It was then during Monday night’s (January 20) Corrie that Carla finally returned home from hospital and Lisa promised her she’s going to look after her. It left some fans wondering if they missed the moment Lisa seemingly permanently moved into Carla’s flat and were quick to jump on social media as they wanted to find a missing character.
@sacredgem83 asked: “So if Lisa & Betsy have properly (offscreen) moved in with Carla & this isn’t some tale about how long it takes to find a plumber…. They will need to cast the Swain cat… right? #Swarla #Corrie.” @Chip14Kc said: “So if Lisa and Betsy moved in… Where’s the cat?! #swarla.”
@vjw79 echoed: “So, erm, if Lisa‘s moved in and therefore Betsy has too, erm, where’s the cat? #SwainCat #Corrie #Swarla.” @Swarla_Fan replied: “Justice for the Swain cat!” @midnightswarla added: “Patiently waiting for future updates on Lisa’s cat… #swarla.”
