Coronation Street airs some early relationship challenges for Carla Connor and Lisa Swain later this month.
The pair recently decided to become an official couple, but it’s clear that they’re still finding their groove in upcoming scenes.
In the build-up to Christmas, viewers will see Carla and Lisa head to the Chariot Square Hotel to enjoy a spa afternoon together.
Debbie Webster happily declares that it’s great to see two friends enjoying a spa day – an assumption that Carla fails to correct. Will this disappoint Lisa?
A couple of days later, Carla’s thoughts turn back to work as she prepares to meet up with an Underworld client.
Sarah Barlow and Izzy Armstrong gush over how handsome the guy in question is, leaving Lisa uncomfortable.
At the Bistro, Lisa struggles to contain her jealousy as she watches the client openly flirting with Carla. Will she keep quiet, or let her insecurities get the better of her?
Later that week, Carla’s nephew Bobby Crawford invites Kirk Sutherland and Fiz Dobbs back to the flat. The rowdy trio have been kicked out of The Rovers for bringing in their own alcohol.
They look forward to drinking but are surprised when Lisa suddenly appears wearing a dressing gown. Is this the moment that Carla and Lisa’s relationship will finally be revealed?
Coronation Street‘s new producer Kate Brooks recently told Digital Spy and other press: “[The relationship] becomes public knowledge during Christmas. They are happy during the Christmas period. Carla initially flinches a little bit at the idea of people gossiping. It’s not about sexuality, but she’s a bit unsure.
“But once she realises everyone is absolutely fine about it, then it’s all systems go. Christmas will be when they really commit to each other, when they declare how they feel for each other.”
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, December 16, Wednesday, December 18, and Friday, December 20, on ITV1 and ITVX.
