Coronation Street kicks off heartwarming proposal story for Swarla in ITVX release
Carla makes a big decision about the future.
*Warning: Spoilers for Monday 11th August's episode of Coronation Street, available now on ITVX.*
A momentous decision has been announced in Monday's (11th August 2025) edition of Coronation Street.
Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) recently moved into their own house, formerly owned by Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King).
Apart from an amusing battle of the bins with next-door neighbours the Platts, all has been going well for the couple, and Carla was thrilled when Lisa booked a life-drawing class for them, despite the activity not really being Lisa's cup of tea.
Lisa and Carla ended up laughing as they covered each other in paint, but their day was disrupted when Lisa's daughter, Betsy (Sydney Martin), called Carla about a problem with her work at Underworld.
Sheepish Betsy showed Carla and Lisa a top which she had sewn a logo into - the problem being the font, which made the phrase look like something else entirely.
Carla kept her cool and found a great way to motivate Betsy, who soon left Carla and Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) impressed with her eventual solution.
In a private moment, Lisa was appreciative of Carla's efforts with Betsy, and Carla made it clear how committed she was with some warm words about the teen.
Later, caught looking through Lisa's jewellery box, Carla told nephew Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) that she was going to ask Lisa to marry her.
Ryan was delighted, and there must be something in the air, as he had only just heard that Ali Neeson (James Burrows), the biological son of Ryan's adoptive mother Michelle (Kym Marsh), had also got engaged.
How will Carla pop the question, and will Lisa say yes?
Given that marriage has already been on Lisa's mind in recent months, it's looking promising.
