Coronation Street fans still think a major move is on the cards for Lisa Swain and Carla Connor after more emotional scenes for the pair.

It's been clear to see that Carla has been worried about her girlfriend, who has found herself triggered by the tragic death of her colleague PC Craig Tinker in the line of duty.

It's been a few weeks since tragedy struck in Weatherfield as the innocent cop was killed in the line of duty by newcomer Mick Michaelis.

As fans of the ITV soap know, Craig was supposed to be on placement with CID but was given the cold shoulder by his mentor, DC Kit Green, and his distracted and rather cruel behaviour saw Craig seek advice from DS Lisa Swain.

She was seen encouraging Craig to prove Kit wrong, and let her know if he had any more issues with the detective constable. But his decision to put back on his uniform later went against him in a devastating way that led to his death.

During Wednesday's (June 11) episode of Corrie, it was time for the residents of Weatherfield to say their own goodbyes at a memorial for Craig following his private funeral, only attended by Kirk Sutherland from the cobbles.

But as Kit failed to show up, and due to make a speech, it was left to Lisa to save the day after Kirk appeared too upset to fo the speech himself.

Lisa delivered a touching tribute to Craig, with it clear that the moment was bringing back memories of her former partner Becky's death, also in the line of duty.

Carla was there for her girlfriend, later comforting her back at the flat, telling her: "You did so well today!" before planting a kiss on her lips.

Despite the emotional scenes, Corrie fans are hopeful for Swarla's future after a few earlier comments between the pair, as they are still sure a move is on the cards, with plenty of rumours the couple and their loved ones will be setting up home at No.6 Coronation Street.

@TheConnorSwains said: "Number 6 Coronation Street purchase loading…….Not enough space in Carla’s wardrobe for Lisa’s stuff! #Swarla #Corrie." @Louise101050 commented: "Like the little hint about not enough room in Carla's wardrobe for Lisa's stuff house move incoming. #Corrie #swarla."

@llou_boo added: "I think Lisa will be forced to take time off due to burnout. And then during that time her and Carla discuss the house move and everything will be sunshine and rainbows again #swarla #Corrie."
