‘It’s been a long time coming’: Here’s why Coronation Street’s Carla and Lisa romance will have huge impact on queer lives

Coronation Street recently announced that sparks are set to fly for Carla Connor and DS Lisa Swain aka Swarla.

Now, with the soap finally giving fans what they’ve been longing for, here’s why Carla and Lisa’s romance will have such a positive impact on queer viewers’ lives. Fans have been waiting for this (Credit: ITV) The last time a WLW couple appeared on Coronation Street was in the form of Asha Alahan and Nina Lucas. As someone who only felt comfortable enough to come out as lesbian as a result of seeing Kate and Rana’s relationship on screen, I hope that Swarla can have the same impact on so many people’s lives in a similar way.
