Reception
For her role as Lisa, Myers was longlisted for "Best newcomer" at the 2024 Inside Soap Awards.

Laura-Jayne Tyler from Inside Soap wrote, "DS Swain did absolutely nothing about Lauren's disappearance until Carla came to ask. The things we do for love!" Tyler's colleague, Chloe Timms, wrote that she would "never be able to forgive" Lisa if she tried to charge Roy. Timms later wrote that she liked seeing the "softer side" to Carla's character following her heart-to-heart with Lisa and wrote that Lisa would be a "great addition to the Street", teasing that there is "more to come" from the character.
