Coronation Street’s Betsy Swain actress Sydney Martin has shared both her and her character’s thoughts on that Lisa and Carla proposal, and if a wedding could air on the ITV soap
One Coronation Street star has shared a new theory about something that could happen if Lisa Swain and Carla Connor did end up getting married.
Amid hopes from Swarla fans for a wedding for the pair after a recent proposal, actress Sydney Martin, who plays Lisa’s daughter Betsy Swain on the ITV soap, has had her say. She shared her character’s true thoughts on the romance and how she would react to the proposal, and a possible wedding.
She also shared her own thoughts on Swarla, acknowledging the fictional couple’s international reach while sharing what she thinks could happen where the wedding is concerned, with her thoughts on both the likely bridesmaids and whether they will make it to Ibiza. With Lisa and Carla sharing their hopes for a future ceremony, and Carla saying now was not the right time, the pair are not currently engaged.
But fans are sure it will happen soon, amid the characters plotting an Ibiza wedding. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, actress Sydney shared her thoughts on the twist and what’s ahead.

She spilled on how Betsy would react to them being engaged if it happened: «I think secretly she would love it. Sydney would absolutely love it, but Betsy I think internally she would too.
«She knows the dynamic really works and she does truly see Carla as a stepmother and as family. But I think she would still be Betsy wouldn’t she, and she would probably be embarrassed by them both.»
Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren Bolton on the show, joined in with the Swarla chat and confessed she was hoping her character would bag an invite to the big day. She told her co-star: «I need to be there!»
It’s then that Sydney shared a possible prediction about the big scenes, if not a hope, as she told Cait that Lauren could well be a bridesmaid for the pair. She told Cait: «Don’t worry, you will be there with Betsy in the bridesmaid dresses. Hopefully one day.»
We also got their thoughts on the possible wedding location being Ibiza, and it is safe to say both Cait and Sydney were down. Sydney said: «I wish we were going Ibiza! I mean you know what, if they’re not going to take us to Ibiza… we’d so be there.»
Cait added: «I would love that.» Sydney shared her support for the couple, as did Cait, while acknowledging the fan base for Swarla had gone international.
It wasn’t just Cait and Sydney that wanted the trip to Ibiza meanwhile, as when we spoke to Lisa actress Vicky Myers she was ready for the petition to get going.
She joked: «I think it would be very good. Shall we see? We can put it out there.»
