Coronation Street fans spot Carla Connor ‘error’ as they ask ‘how’

Viewers have been quick to spot an ‘error’ when it comes to Carla’s recent appearances in the ITV soap

Eagle-eyed Coronation Street fans have been quick to spot an ‘error’ when it comes to Carla Connor’s recent appearances in the long-running show.

Those who follow the ITV soap know that the Underworld factory boss, who is played by fan-favourite actress Alison King, has recently had her own life turned upside down because of the arrival of Lisa Swain’s former partner.

Things were looking up for Carla and her partner, Lisa Swain, after a difficult start to their relationship. In joyous scenes, Lisa popped the question to the Underworld factory boss following her own unsuccessful attempts to propose.

But in a dramatic turn of events, their engagement bubble was popped by the arrival of Lisa’s late wife, Becky Swain, who wasn’t dead like she was led to believe.

As those tuning in to the long-running show saw, Lisa struggled to believe Becky was standing in front of her, and was unable to get her head around the fact that Becky had allowed her and their daughter, Betsy, to grieve her for so long, despite her whole death being fake.

Becky explained that she had spent the last four years in Spain under another name after being put into witness protection, following an undercover operation gone wrong.

Unable to believe Becky’s story, Lisa demanded answers from her boss, DI Costello, but she was left heartbroken as he corroborated her former partner’s version of events.

And at the moment, it doesn’t seem like Becky is going anywhere, with her daughter, Betsy, now aware that her mum’s death in the line of duty was all fake.

As the storyline continued to unfold during Friday’s (September 19) visit to the cobbles, Corrie fans were quick to spot the same thing when it came to Carla’s appearance – her disappearing engagement ring.

Sharing a side-by-side photo of Carla with and without her spakrler, @swarlahq said: “Spot the difference… Carla before the commercial break vs Carla after the commercial break.” @marinaswarla shared: “How do they just keep forgetting it.”

@eternitydropped commented: “Oh Corrie sort it out, you’re going to give every Swarla viewer a heart attack.” @swarlaverse replied: “The continuation errors have me howling rn.” @missmollybruton wrote: “Corrie…if you keep forgetting that ring istg…”

@dosomelico laughed: “How they keep forgetting the ring will never fail to make me laugh. If they need help, they can hire me to put the ring on her finger every single time before a scene.” @honeymoonpaige added: “This is actually so funny. Convinced they do stuff like this to wind us up.”
