The most ANTICIPATED scene on British TV: Vanessa (Emmerdale) and Lisa Swain (Corrie) to finally MEET in a BLOCKBUSTER CROSSOVER?
There could be an epic Vanessa Woodfield and Lisa Swain scene on the way, if Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans have their way.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror at the British Soap Awards, Vanessa star Michelle Hardwick confessed she’d had discussions with her pal and Corrie star Vicky Myers. Ever since fans learned of the shocking crossover between the two soaps, set to air early next year, they’ve been calling for a number of characters to be involved.
One such twist hoped for by viewers would see Corrie detective Lisa meet with Emmerdale vet Vanessa. Michelle and Vicky have seen all the comments about their characters meeting, and they are so on board.
They too would love to be involved and would love to have a scene in the crossover where their characters meet, with Michelle telling us they’d been discussing it. She teased to us: “It’s so exciting, I think everyone is hoping for a Vanessa and DS Swain crossover aren’t they.
“Me and Vicky have been talking about it. It would be hilarious.” With fans also calling for Vanessa’s ex Charity Dingle and Lisa’s partner Carla Connor to feature in a scene together, two soap icons, Michelle seemed keen for this too.

She responded: “Yes! Those two and me and Vicky!” Michelle’s character Vanessa features in heavy scenes this week and going forward, with her brother-in-law Nate Robinson’s m::rd3r finally exposed. After his body being discovered and identified, Vanessa faces a tough time supporting her grieving sister Tracy Robinson, Nate’s wife, who is left reeling over the loss.
Not only that, but Tracy faces accusations and could be framed for the crime that fans know was actually committed by John Sugden. Michelle told us of the emotional scenes ahead: “Vanessa will be there for Tracy through the whole thing. Fingers do get pointed, and they all start blaming each other.
“The thing is Vanessa doesn’t think it’s Cain [Dingle] who’s done it, but Tracy does. Equally she wants to support her sister and be there for her, but she is trying to be the rational one really, and be strong for her.”

There does come a moment where Vanessa fears her sister is to blame as other residents question her motives, but Michelle assured us this is very much in the moment and then it’s gone. She shared: “There is one little point where she has this conversation with Rhona [Goskirk], and in one instant she says, ‘she couldn’t have done it… could she?’
“Then it’s like no, no she wouldn’t. I just think with the lies that Tracy has told about Eric it’s, oh my goodness, but she doesn’t think it at all and really does stand by her.” Vanessa and Mary’s friendship will remain going forward, after they cleared the air over Mary’s kiss with Vanessa’s late girlfriend Suzy Merton.
She said: “Mary of all people! She was so nice to Vanessa, I couldn’t believe it. But she has buried it, as long as we don’t talk about it we’re fine.”
