Coronation Street star Vicky Myers has been flooded with supportive messages from her co-stars and fans as she described the latest update in her character’s story as a ‘pinch me moment’. The actress revealed earlier this year that she was now a regular cast member in the role of DS Lisa Swain.

The detective sergeant was first seen in 2021 when she led the police investigation into the assaults on Nina Lucas and Seb Franklin, which led to the Franklin’s death. More recently, viewers of the ITV soap have seen Swain face backlash from Daisy Midgeley after the police didn’t stop her stalker Justin Rutherford before he launched a horrific acid attack and hunted down serial killer Stephen Reid, to leading the case in the disappearance of Lauren Bolton.

But now, the Swains’ presence in Weatherfield is growing as Lisa’s daughter has officially been revealed on the cobbles. It was just last month that viewers of the ITV soap first learnt Swain had a daughter. The news came out as, despite Swain being the reason Carla Connor’s friend Roy Cropper was behind bars, charged with the suspected murder of missing teen Lauren, Carla was seen being sympathetic to the stressed-out detective and mum.

In return for being a sympathetic ear, despite Carla lying about her nephew Bobby Crawford’s false statement to the police about the night Lauren disappeared in a bid to help Roy, Swain encouraged the newly freed street stalwart to make amends with Carla before the Underworld boss offered Swain’s daughter some work experience.

But before her first appearance in the factory, Betsy Swain was up to no good as she was seen blackmailing Joel Deering after his actions towards her mate Sabrina. As viewers know, the solicitor is not to be trusted after it was revealed he was behind the disappearance – and assumed death – of Lauren.

Amid her interactions with Joel, DS Swain met her daughter in the precinct park, where they had a confrontation before Swain insisted Betsy get in the car and head home.
