Corrie’s DS Swain issues update on ‘grieving’ daughter as Lauren killer’s ‘revealed’

DS Lisa Swain offers an update about her family life in Coronation Street next week.

The detective sergeant (Victoria Myers) has been busy with the case of missing teenager Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) but she’s overheard coming to blows with her daughter in upcoming scenes of the ITV soap.

During a climactic week of episodes, stripped across five nights, Carla overhears DS Swain rowing with her daughter on the phone, Carla offers an ear. Lisa explains her partner died and her daughter is struggling with her grief. Later in the week, Carla offers Swain’s daughter some work experience at the factory but who is the mystery character?

As DS Swain and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) are about to crack the case, fans will be hit with a bolt out of the blue as a new piece of evidence reveals who Lauren’s killer really is but have the cops got their man or is a predator still at large?

Vicky Myers made her debut as Ds Swain in 2021 as she helped help lead the police investigation into the death of Seb Franklin. She was the first one on the scene when Lauren’s disappearance was reported earlier this year.

She urgently started her investigation and has been determined to find her ever since, but in a shocking twist, Lauren was presumed to have been murdered.

Roy Cropper (David Neilson) has become DS Swain’s top suspect and some fans have shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, that DS Swain could be related to Lauren and could actually be her mum.

The eagle-eyed fan wrote: “I’ve had a thought that Lauren is gonna be revealed as DS Swain’s daughter!!” Someone else said: “What if Swain is Lauren’s mam, it would be the biggest plot twist.” A third penned: “OMG is Lauren Detective Swain’s daughter ???”

An AI tool has also echoed the fan’s thoughts. Daily Star quizzed one of the world’s most popular artificially intelligent “creative” tools Gemini, to see if Lauren could be related to DS Swain. The program then listed reasons why Lauren being DS Swain’s secret daughter could be a compelling storyline. Gemini said: “It adds a whole new layer to DS Swain’s character.

“She’d be investigating a case that hits much closer to home than anyone realises. This personal connection could cloud her judgment or fuel her determination, depending on how it’s written.” Another reason would be to “raise the stakes”. It explained: “If Swain is Lauren’s relative, the mystery of her disappearance becomes even more personal. It would raise the stakes for Swain and make viewers even more invested in the outcome.”

The third reason is an “unexpected connection”. Gemini said:”“It’s not something viewers would necessarily predict, which can be a good thing. Soap operas thrive on unexpected turns, and this could be a juicy one.” Fans will have to wait and see who DS Swain’s daughter is and if she’s related to missing Lauren.
