ITV Coronation Street viewers rumble devastating split for beloved fan favourite couple
ITV Coronation Street fans believe that a beloved couple could be set to split in upcoming scenes. Carla Connor, played by Alison King and Lisa Swain, portrayed by Vicky Myers, started their relationship at the end of last year and have since been hailed as a "power couple" by viewers.
The pair, who are affectionately nicknamed as Swarla by fans, are currently living together with Lisa's teenage daughter, Betsy, played by Sydney Martin. It's been a difficult few weeks for the detective sergeant after the death of her employee, Craig Tinker, played by Colson Smith, last month.
Lisa was left heartbroken by Craig's death with Carla left to console her at home. Keen to secure her future with Carla sooner rather than later, Lisa asked her partner to marry her in a cliffhanger ending.
Carla later questioned if Lisa had intended to propose with the detective admitting that she may have let her emotions get the better of her, Leicester Mercury reports.
Carla asked: "So you didn't mean it?" Carla asked, with Lisa replying: "No, I did. Of course I did. I love you" before explaining that she was just trying to be "nice".
Carla jokingly remarked that Lisa should buy her a cake if she just wanted to be nice, with Lisa responding: "Fine, I was stupid, so now I'm officially withdrawing my offer."
Carla then said that she hopes they will get married one day but added that it needs to be out of "love, not grief".
During Monday night's episode on June 9, Lisa gave Carla and Betsy the cold shoulder ahead of Craig's memorial the following day.
At Underworld, Carla spoke to Betsy about her worry for Lisa, saying: "It's just your mum. She's very hard to read, isn't she?
"I've been trying to get her to open up, what with it being the memorial tomorrow, and she won't say anything."
Betsy revealed that she was used to being met with her mum's one-word answers, a sign that she was "struggling".
Determined to cheer Lisa up, Carla decided to make her a romantic dinner.
However, Lisa was not impressed with this kind gesture when she returned home, saying: "I didn't ask for this, Carla."
Lisa insisted that she was "fine" and quickly left the flat to go for a walk to clear her head.
After watching the tense scenes unfold, Coronation Street viewers are convinced that a break up could now be on the cards for the coule.
Taking to a Facebook fan page, one wrote: "Wow Lisa, why not throw your truncheon and whistle out of the pram, what a child!
Another chimed in: "Really can't see those two getting married".
Meanwhile, a third agreed: "Don't think they are matched well for each other. They'll probably split soon."
A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "Lisa has gone funny since Carla turned her down," with another similarly sharing: "I think they will split up, this relationship doesn't work."

BBC Death in Paradise's 'favourite' detective set to join spin-off as star drops clue
Death in Paradise favourite Kris Marshall has teased a stint in the show's Australian spin-off Kris Marshall, famed for his role in Death in Paradise, has expressed his willingness to make a cameo in the show's Aussie spin-off, Return to Paradise. Kris stepped into Ben Miller's shoes as the lead sleuth when Ben's character, Richard Poole, met his untimely demise. He portrayed Detective Humphrey Goodman until he left the series at the end of season six, choosing to chase his romance with Martha Lloyd (portrayed by Sally Bretton) back to London. Their romantic tale didn't end there; it carried on in the Death in Paradise spin-off, Beyond Paradise, where they relocated to Devon to be closer to Martha's mother. Despite being content with his current role in Beyond Paradise, Kris hasn't ruled out a potential appearance in Return to Paradise, which features its first female protagonist and has been greenlit for a second run. Anna Samson plays the lead as Mackenzie Clarke, the spin-off's inaugural female detective, reports the Express. Chatting with Woman's Day Magazine about the possibility of joining the Australian venture, Kris remarked, "In the future, I'm definitely not ruling it out, no." He teased: "Never say never." Should Kris join the cast, he wouldn't be the first Death in Paradise detective to cross over, as Ardal O'Hanlon graced the first series of the spin-off. Ardal returned as Detective Jack Mooney, taking on the role of Mackenzie's superior from London, and is rumoured to be making a comeback for the second series of the Aussie drama. The worlds of Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise have intertwined previously. In the first series of Beyond Paradise, fans were treated to Humphrey Goodman's return to the Caribbean alongside Martha. Viewers were ecstatic to witness the inaugural meeting between Humphrey and Detective Neville Parker. While showrunners haven't confirmed another crossover, with production for Return to Paradise in full swing, the prospect of Humphrey Goodman making an appearance is tantalising. Kris Marshall's recent jaunt to Australia has sparked speculation among fans that he might pop up in Return to Paradise. A fan speculated on a Facebook fan page: "I wonder what Humph's doing here in Australia? Perhaps a Return to Paradise cameo." Another enthusiast responded: "That would be spectacularly awesome - DI Goodman in Return to Paradise - with DI Mooney - hope so!". A third chimed in: "Yes, my favourite detective, this needs to happen." For those eager to catch up, Death in Paradise is available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.

Florida official under state investigation after hosting LGBTQ event
Florida's attorney general announced Tuesday that he opened an investigation into the vice mayor of Vero Beach over a drag show held last month. Attorney General James Uthmeier alleged the 'Pride Tea Dance' that Vice Mayor Linda Moore held at the Kilted Mermaid, a wine bar she's owned for more than a decade, exposed children to a 'sexualized performance.' Uthmeier's office said Moore advertised the Pride Tea Dance on social media as 'all ages welcome,' but that the drag performances 'featured adult, sexualized performers in front of children, in violation of Florida law,' according to a press release from the attorney general's office. Neither the press release nor the subpoena Uthmeier's office sent Moore on July 8 specify what state law(s) she is under investigation for allegedly violating. Uthmeier's office did not immediately respond to questions. The subpoena, which Moore has to respond to by Aug. 8, requested surveillance video recordings of the exterior and interior of the Kilted Mermaid on the day of the Pride Tea Dance; copies of employee work schedules for June 28 to June 30; copies of documents that identify the performers for the event; and documents identifying security personnel or other staff responsible for checking identification and allowing entry, among other information. Moore said she was confused by the subpoena, particularly because it doesn't contain any claim of wrongdoing. 'We have the event every year, it's our gay pride event, and it is all ages,' Moore said in a phone interview. She said the bar has held the event for at least the past five years. 'It's a family-friendly event, and then once the drag show actually starts, we tell the parents who have small children that they can't stay for the show.' Sometimes parents want to stay anyway, Moore said, so she has maintained a policy that the first drag performance will be 'really tame,' with no profanity. Later on, when all the children are gone, the performances can be 'a little racy,' she said, but even during the adult-only performances, 'there's never nudity at any drag show.' The event first garnered criticism after it was the subject of social media posts from Jennifer Pippin, who leads a local chapter of Moms for Liberty, a national conservative parents organization. Pippin wrote in a Facebook post the day after the event that she submitted a complaint to the attorney general's office 'to formally report a violation of Florida's 'Protection of Children Act,' specifically Senate Bill 1438,' which prohibits children from attending 'adult live performances.' However, judges blocked the law from taking effect, suggesting that it is likely unconstitutional due to how broad and vague it is. The case is awaiting a trial in the Middle District of Florida. Critics have said the law defines adult live performances in a way that would include businesses that host drag shows. Pippin told NBC News she didn't know the law was blocked when she reported the event to the attorney general's office, but that the office told her other state laws restrict adult live performances. She said she did not attend the event, but she pointed to social media photos and videos that show children were in attendance. Pippin said children appeared to be there the entire night, a claim Moore disputes. Pippin said she asked Moore to resign during a city council meeting Tuesday. 'We have to protect the innocence of children at all costs from live adult entertainment shows,' Pippin told NBC News. 'We are happy the AG is on board with our sentiment as well.' Moore said the photos shared by Pippin, which, for example, show a performer in lingerie, mischaracterize what happened at the event. The photos that Pippin shared that show children at the event show that it was still light outside, Moore said, during the family-friendly portion of the event. The photos of the performer in lingerie, which don't show any children, were taken later in the evening during the adults-only portion of the event. Moore said that, despite the backlash, the community has been overwhelmingly supportive. 'We're not a gay bar. We're just a neighborhood bar, and we welcome everybody,' Moore said. She added that some community members have been worried that the Kilted Mermaid will stop hosting its LGBTQ-inclusive events, but she said that won't happen. 'We are committed to supporting everyone in the community like we always have, and gay pride will continue, and drag queen bingo will continue,' Moore said. 'Nothing has changed for us.'
