Coronation Street viewers have watched Lisa Swain face danger, heartbreak and romance on the cobbles but away from Weatherfield, actress Vicky Myers has just marked a milestone she’ll never forget.
The ITV star received an outpouring of love from co-stars and fans as she celebrated a very special birthday, and her emotional response revealed just how much the moment meant after a huge year both on and off screen.
A Milestone Moment After A Huge Year On The Cobbles
Vicky Myers, best known for playing DC Lisa Swain, turned 50 this week and quickly found her social media flooded with messages, cards and gifts from friends and viewers. The actress admitted she struggled to find the right words after the response.
She wrote, “Hello 50. Thank you for the messages, cards, letters, edits, reels and the gifts; oh my goodness, the gifts. What do you say when ‘thank you’ just doesn’t quite hit the mark? I’m so incredibly grateful.” She added the support left her “dumbstruck,” repeating her thanks several times.
The Corrie star continued that she felt overwhelmed with gratitude and joked her “heart is full, as is my front room.” She also raised a toast to the future, saying she hopes the next trip around the sun will be her best yet.
The milestone comes after a massive year professionally. Throughout 2025, Lisa Swain stood at the centre of several major storylines, especially her relationship with Carla Connor, which kept viewers hooked for months.
Co-Stars And Fans Rally Around The Actress
The celebrations didn’t stop at fans; her Coronation Street castmates quickly joined in. Sally Carman, who plays Abi Webster, shared a heartfelt message telling her friend the sky was “full of every good thing just waiting” and sent her love.
Sue Devaney predicted the new decade would be her best yet, calling Vicky beautiful inside and out. Many viewers echoed the sentiment, writing that she deserved the love she received and thanking her for “shining so bright” for others.
Others praised the post as beautiful and called the actress “pure magic,” telling her she’s loved beyond words. That popularity grew hugely in August 2025 when Lisa and Carla moved into No.6 Coronation Street after Yasmeen Nazir’s exit, becoming the first same-sex couple to live together on the street.
