It was a big night on Coronation Street as Lisa Swain and Carla Connor finally got the celebration they had been waiting for. But while neighbours gathered to cheer the couple, another moment involving Roy Cropper caught attention for very different reasons and left fans feeling uneasy.
A Long-Awaited Moment for Carla and Lisa
After months of ups and downs, Lisa Swain and Carla Connor finally took the next step in their relationship. Fans who have followed their journey, known as “Swarla,” had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Carla had already tried to propose earlier, but her attempt didn’t go as planned.
Tension still hung in the air between the pair after their row with David Platt over recycling. That argument had exposed Carla’s hidden notes under the name Tia Wardley, which she used while trying to learn more about Lisa’s late wife, Becky. Lisa kept her distance, but she had her own plan in motion. With Ryan Connor’s help, she began preparing a proposal Carla would never forget.
A Coronation Street Proposal Like No Other
Carla was surprised when her colleagues dragged her outside to the sound of police sirens. At first, she saw Ryan in a police car, but then Lisa appeared in her uniform. In a moment straight out of “An Officer and a Gentleman,” Lisa got down on one knee in front of Carla. Betsy tossed a ring box her way, and Carla pulled Lisa to her feet before the two exchanged rings to cheers from their neighbours.
The pair later shared their happy news with Roy Cropper before heading to the Rovers Return. At first, Roy seemed more interested in talking about his new glasses. But when Carla pressed him, he said he couldn’t be happier for them. He added that it didn’t matter how a proposal happened, only that it did. Roy then spoke warmly about his marriage to Hayley, saying it was the most important and fulfilling part of his life. Carla asked him to walk her down the aisle, and he agreed.
The celebrations continued in the Rovers, where Lisa and Carla were joined by friends. Roy also joined in, but when Betsy pulled him to sit beside her, he winced. He mentioned having trouble with his back, and Betsy later offered to help him home when she saw him struggling. On social media, one fan said it looked like the show was leading to “something sad” with Roy’s back problems. Another said they hoped it wasn’t serious, while others feared it could be the start of a bigger health issue for the much-loved character.
