Coronation Street fans have been left baffled by Gail Rodwell‘s huge blunder in last night’s episode (Monday, March 8).
Last year Sam‘s mum Natasha died after being shot by Harvey Gaskell. After seeing Natasha’s body, Sam stopped speaking.
He gradually started to speak again but only to Fiz’s daughter Hope through a walkie-talkie. But he wouldn’t speak to anyone else.
After seeing Roy playing chess, he took an interest in the game and eventually began speaking again.
In last night’s episode, Nick became concerned that Sam wasn’t focusing on his school work as he was distracted by chess and asked that he stopped playing for a while to focus on school.

Gail then said to her grandson: “Well you’re not very talkative. Not like you at all.”
But fans were quick to point out that Sam had only just started speaking again after months of not talking.
Did Gail forget that Sam was quiet for about 2 months? #Corrie
