Coronation Street fans unhappy over abandoned aspects of soap

With the soap seeming to forget past aspects of the show on more than one occasion, fans have now shared their frustration online.

One fan commented: “Nick suffered a horrible brain injury that made him unstable for months. But he’s fully recovered and not even a twinge now.”

Another fan said: “Totally agree. Other examples include the fact that Gemma has never interacted with Max since Kylie died, you never see Jake and Joseph together despite being cousins and Todd has never so much as said hello to Bethany despite being her step-dad during her childhood.”

A third fan shared: “Ryan’s father figure was his uncle Liam yet he’s shown no interest in Liam Jr. Leanne and Chesney were step-siblings at one time, but now treat each other like anyone else in the Street.”

A final viewer ended: “Producer amnesia. Lack of continuity. Consistency in storylines needs to be sorted. It’s like it’s run by 18 year olds who’ve barely watched it in the past.”
