Coronation Street fans have spotted what they believe is a 'clue' that DS Lisa Swan has a 'crush' on Carla Connor as they continue to hold out hope for a romance storyline for the pair.

Many viewers of the ITV soap have been championing a relationship for the characters, played by Vicky Myers and Alison King, ever since the pair were seen spending more time in each other's company due to Swain's investigation into Lauren Bolton's disappearance - and assumed murder - after Carla's friend Roy Cropper spent months as the main suspect.

But there was an unexpected moment in scenes aired last month as despite Carla lying to the police about her nephew Bobby Crawford's statement over the night Lauren went missing, the Underworld boss was seen being sympathetic to the stressed-out detective and single mum.

Monday night's (June 10) Corrie then saw another interaction between Carla and Swain, with the latter paying the businesswoman a visit.
