Coronation Street viewers were bowled over by one character in particular in last night's episode - as DS Swain yet again stole the show with her straight-talking style.
The latest episode of Coronation Street (which aired Wednesday 13th November 2023) saw DS Swain take a compassionate approach to Amy Barlow after she was brought into the station for vandalising a police car.
In response, Corrie fans have called for the police officer to be made a permanent fixture on the ITV show.
'It's about time that DS Swain took up lodgings in Eileen's. She's already almost a permanent fixture,'

While another praised how DS Swain has 'shown her anger through the broken system', writing: 'A superb scene between Amy and DS Swain with superb acting from @ElleJMulvaney and @VixMyers
'Like the “promising young woman” (the film) angle with Amy’s new storyline
'Plus DS Swain… is just soooo cool! I love how she showed her anger through the broken system.'
