On screen, DS Lisa Swain is currently enjoying a much happier chapter on the cobbles after a turbulent start to 2025. With her toxic ex Becky firmly out of the picture, Lisa and ‘love of her life’ Carla Connor have now reunited.
Off screen, Vicky Myers has had plenty to celebrate too. Yesterday marked the actress’s 50th birthday – a fact that came as a surprise to many who assumed she was far younger.
To mark the occasion, Vicky shared a flurry of birthday messages and tributes from friends, family and fans via her Instagram Stories.
She also took to X to personally thank her followers for the overwhelming support, kind words and gifts she received.
In a heartfelt post, she wrote: “Wow, you have achieved the impossible. I am speechless! ‘Thank you’ doesn’t seem quite right, or enough, but that’s all I have right now. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and my heart is full. THANK YOU.
“All of your lovely messages will be read and gifts opened this weekend when I have the time to give them the attention and respect they deserve. Thank you so very much. Much love.”
