Carla And Lisa Marry In Coronation Street’s First Same‑Sex Wedding

The episode kicks off a week-long murder mystery ending with a victim reveal on May 1.

Overview

  • The episode, released Thursday at 7am on ITVX and YouTube before its 8:30pm ITV broadcast, confirmed Carla Connor and Lisa Swain are now married on screen.
  • The marriage marks Coronation Street’s first successful wedding between two women, with both characters now credited as Connor‑Swain.
  • The ceremony almost collapsed after a flood at the Chariot Square Hotel caused by Carl Webster, yet the couple held an intimate, last‑minute service.
  • The wedding anchors a pre‑teased whodunnit introduced in February that names five possible victims, with the identity due in the week’s concluding episode on Friday, May 1.
  • Viewers celebrated the milestone and representation, some asked for a longer episode and more guests, and actor Vicky Myers thanked fans for their support.
