She’s been the sharp, no-nonsense detective keeping Weatherfield in check, but behind the badge, there’s a fan-favourite actor with a lot to celebrate. This week, Coronation Street fame Vicky Myers hit a major career milestone—and the cast, crew, and fans turned out in full force to shower her with love.
DS Lisa Swain Has Progressed a Great Deal in Four Years
Vicky Myers initially stepped onto the cobbles as DS Lisa Swain back in 2021, appearing at first in a limited role. But gradually, the character left a lasting impression—not only for her tough presence in investigations, but also for the emotional depth she added to the character.
Swain increasingly became a more frequent face in Weatherfield, particularly as her on/off relationship with Carla Connor progressed. As her character’s private and working life enriched, so too did her place in the narrative. It’s fair to say that DS Swain has moved from background copper to one of the programme’s most familiar sights—and it hasn’t escaped the notice of the viewers or the rest of the cast.

In celebration of her four-year milestone on Coronation Street, Vicky Myers went on social media with an emotive and nostalgic post. She posted some behind-the-scenes shots from filming, including one ofher past still from the first time that she appeared on screen.
She said she couldn’t believe it had been four years as DS Lisa Swain, describing it as a story and growth journey. “What a woman, and there’s plenty more to come,” she went on, thanking both the Corrie production team and viewers. “Whether you love her or hate her… forever grateful.”
The wave of support on the comments showed just how much she isloved. Co-star Sally Carman (Abi Franklin) described Myers as “the best” and toasted another four years. Sydney Martin, who portraysSwain’s on-screen daughter Betsy, marveled at her talent and referred to her as “Mama Swain” and averred that she felt blessed to be part of her life.
Sair Khan joined in with congratulatory emojis, and fans inundated the post with comments labeling her a “great addition to the show” and “amazing.” One fan contributed, “We’re along for the ride as long as you are.”
What’s Next for Swain—and for Myers?
The affection expressed by both cast members and viewers served to make one thing obvious: DS Swain has hit a genuine chord with viewers.
