Carla proud in early ITVX Coronation Street release as Lisa takes a huge step
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Coronation Street that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.
A drag night at the Rovers Return in Coronation Street has prompted DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) to make a brave decision.
The beloved character reluctantly made her way to the pub in this evening's episode alongside Carla Connor (Alison King). Swain certainly isn't boring, but spending a few hours drinking and partying with fellow Weatherfield residents is something not exactly high on her list of priorities.
Carla and Lisa were surrounded by the likes of Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) and Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger), who were all looking forward to the drag act and an evening of laughs.
It took Lisa a little while to warm up but eventually, after some gentle encouragement from Carla, she started to smile and really enjoy herself.
The drag night was impacted by a troubled Theo (James Cartwright) but ultimately, a great success. As Carla and Lisa reflected on the evening back at the flat, it prompted Lisa to make a decision.
The copper announced to Carla that she's going to attend counselling, and the comment made Carla feel proud. More Trending
Lisa has been struggling ever since Craig Tinker was killed on duty. The murder reminded Lisa of her ex Becky, who also died while at work.

A couple of days ago, she arrested Brody (Ryan Mulvey) in the café, but then made a huge mistake by refusing to give the troubled teen his medication, leading to him suffering a seizure in his cell.
As a result of the error, Lisa was put on restrictive duties.

It's a big step to contemplate counselling, and also a sign that Lisa is prepared to work on her mental health, so it doesn't negatively impact her relationship with Carla.

'Right for right now is the perfect way to describe them,' Blu said when asked if they had long-term potential. He added: 'If a bombshell comes in that he fancies, he's going to go with that bombshell.' It seems Blu isn't convinced by Remell's connection with Alima – despite their on-screen chemistry and shared kiss. Advertisement The Londoner said: 'He started to vibe with everyone a few days in. But if someone else walks in, I think it's game over.' Hosts Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack also predicted doom for the couple. The first week had viewers gripped with villa drama and explosive moments. Despite recent tensions, a U-turn saw them share a passionate kiss in Tuesday's episode.

Which means that boys will be at risk. Dumped Love Islander Blu takes bitter swipe at rival Shea after showdown "So, I need to find a girl - and I'm not saying that Alima was an easy option. "She's a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart and she's amazing." Advertisement Continuing, Amy remarked how Remell "didn't even speak to anyone else" and observed her bond with Blu wasn't the strongest. She added: "He saw her and was like, 'That's my target' and then now he's wanting to kiss people in the challenge. "I just think, on paper, it looks like Remell came straight in for Alima, went for her and now they're in a couple. "Whereas it's not all those things." Advertisement The villa couple previously butted heads when Remell kissed anyone but his partner in a challenge. Alima told him: 'I think you were so disrespectful, I'm not gonna lie…do you feel like you did everything right?' Their conversation continued, as Alima added: 'You say you like me and do things that just don't match, it's worse you can't even take accountability…maybe we're not compatible…" Following this - and after their kiss - Remell chose to stay coupled with Alima in the latest recoupling.
