Coronation Street	comment	Coronation Street (or Corrie) is a British Prime Time Soap on ITV in a Dramatic Half-Hour format that follows the ups and downs in the lives of the residents of a typical working-class street in a Salford, Manchester neighbourhood.It has been running for a very, very, VERY long time, first airing on 9 December 1960, and will probably keep going until the end of time. It has been running long enough that a character in their eighties may originally have been introduced as a sexy young twentysomething, or one in their mid-fifties may have first appeared as a newborn baby. Many assume (thanks to ITV, who is to blame) that it is the longest-running soap in the world, but The Archers (which began on BBC radio in 1952) would likely say otherwise.What Coronation Street can claim is that it is the longest-running soap opera on television.note This record became available in 2017: Guiding Light spent from 1952-2009, 57 years, on television, with Corrie's 2018 being its 58th year. It will not, however, be able to claim to be the "longest-running soap" title until the BBC cancels The Archers. Also viewable in Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Curious Americans can watch it on Hulu (or the CBC, if they can receive it).The show is often on about five times a week (as are most British soap operas) and has an omnibus at the end of the week. The series began showing at least two a week, and has gradually increased throughout its run-time. In the summer of 2016, it was announced that their schedule would be increased to six episodes a week in the autumn of 2017, and the television set was going to be extended.Classic user of the Soap Wheel.Please Note: As an ongoing soap with no reruns outside of the weekly omnibus, spoilers will not be tagged.

Coronation Street / int_11af5b9f	comment	Funeral Banishment: Subverted in 2004 with the fallout between Todd and Sarah. Shortly after the death of his newborn son Billy, he (and to a lesser extent, Eileen and Jason) was expected to stay away from the funeral due to feuding with his former fiancÃ©e and the child's bereaved mother and her angry family. While he does eventually show up and many of the guests are shocked or grimace in response, David shouts at him to leave and blames him for the death (as he had just came out as gay and was carrying on an affair with another man, which severely stressed Sarah out, albeit the pregnancy was already risky). While his family members broke up the fight, the Grimshaw family was allowed to stay as the other mourners gave them their privacy to say goodbye.

They also do this quite often in on-screen court cases, filming both 'Guilty' and 'Not Guilty' outcomes and deciding later which one to use.

Some villains have been on the show long enough to have their backstories shown to the audience but some villains, like Geoff Metcalfe and Josh Tucker, for example, don't have that. Some villains are just written to represent a problem and have to be defeated through a united front. They don't explain how they were created, what motivated them to do evil, and how certain aspects of their life have moulded them into the villains they are now.

Coronation Street / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Coronation Street / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The central villains of the series in 2017-2018 have been known for controversy and for having very dark storylines. Pat Phelan became a serial killer who murdered several men. Nathan Curtis ran a prostitution ring that catered teenage girls and young adult women to older men. Neil Clifton was a police officer who was under Nathan's employ and a customer who raped Bethany Platt. In March of 2018, David Platt was drugged and raped by Josh Tucker, a mechanic/fitness instructor who pretended to be his friend and in May 2018, Aiden Connor committed suicide as a result of untreated depression. While racists in the show are usually represented as uninhibited idiots who usually express their views without hesitation and require a united front to stop them. Griff appears to be one of the darker examples so far and actually appears as a legit threat as he's able to manipulate Max into joining his movement and arranges an attack on Daryan. It's been an ongoing trend since the days of the Richard Hillman saga, but these storylines attracted a greater level of attention.

Coronation Street / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: Deliberately invoked during the promotion of the show's Fiftieth Anniversary week, which was given the tagline "Four Funerals and a Wedding," implying that four major characters would bite the dust. As it turned out, three major characters actually did die, namely Ashley Peacock, Molly Dobbs and Charlotte Hoyle. The fourth casualty was a nameless background extra, who got mentioned in passing by a firefighter during the live episode. It's thought that the producers were also considering offing Rita Fairclough in the live episode, but ultimately decided against it and 'killed off' the extra to make sure the tagline was still accurate.

Perhaps a touch of Viewers Are Morons as well, since Nick's original actor, Warren Jackson was sacked and replaced by Rickitt simply for not being sexy enough, despite the widespread opinion that Jackson was a much better actor than Rickitt. Jason took on this role in the late 2000s, finding many reasons to be shirtless on-screen.

Coronation Street / int_241ca0d8	comment	Back for the Dead: Played with regarding Vera Duckworth: her spirit came back for her beloved husband, Jack, as he died from his battle of leukemia while sitting in the same chair she died in over two years earlier. Considering how characters never come back from being dead here and their popularity with fans, it was considered an Acceptable Break from Reality. Ray Langston, Deirdre's first husband and Tracy's biological father, reappeared on the Street after over two decades away to make amends with both women in 2005. He was suffering from terminal stomach cancer and died a few weeks after whilst sitting besides his daughter at her mother and Ken's wedding reception at the Rovers. Lucy Richards-Barlow, Peter's wife and the mother of Simon who he had shared a bigamous marriage in with his girlfriend Shelley, returned briefly to the Street from Australia to give him back to his father before her death. Susan Barlow, Peter's twin sister, reappeared in 2001 after being absent since the late 1980s. When it was discovered that the child she "aborted" during her short marriage to her father's longtime rival Mike Baldwin did in fact exist, she attempted to run off to Ireland, only to die in a car crash whilst doing so.

Coronation Street / int_3f1aadeb	comment	Strictly Formula: The stories can become a bit repetitive but the only difference being that the problem is held by a different character but there is some noticeable repetitiveness. The pub or factory is always set on fire or destroyed whenever there is a new owner. Someone always has an affair, often coincides with a sudden self-discovery or admission of their sexuality. Bonus points, if the new relationship ends because the adulterer has another affair during their relationship. Even if a situation appears to be certain death or certain doom for the villain, they always manage to survive by pure luck or escape justice just so they can cause more misery and drama for the heroes. If an arc villain doesn't face the consequences of their actions, they either die or leave the street. A new character is introduced and is eventually revealed to be related to another character. Either as a half-sibling or as a biological parent. A dark plot is balanced out with cringe comedy. There is an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy, often as a result of a one-night stand.. A character is bullied for one reason or another. A character struggles with an addiction or has money problems. Homophobes and racists are uninhibited and make remarks despite being outnumbered and outmatched, with their racism being solely directed at black people, not other ethnicities. On that note, it's usually a white person who targets black people. In a similar vein, it's more often a white character defending a victim of racism note Aiden defending Alya from racists, Toyah helping Alya stand up to Griff, Maria helping Daryan, David Platt and Josh Tucker catching a racist, and Paul redeeming himself by defending Lloyd from racists. Addressing gender-based crimes and the sexual harassment of womennote sexual assault, sexual extortion, and stalking to a few . Even the famed tram crash for the 50th anniversary was a rehash of a freight train derailment in 1967 that killed Sonia Peters and a family who lived on Viaduct Street and trapped Ena Sharples.

Coronation Street / int_3fafbfd4	type	Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome
Coronation Street / int_3fafbfd4	comment	Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: There have been numerous occasions when actors have looked noticeably older than the characters they portray but like most other British soaps, SORAS only happens rarely and when it does, the character only ages a year or two. Sophie Webster inexplicably started secondary school at the age of ten but has always remained the same age. Twins Peter and Susan Barlow (born 1965) were aged up a year in 1978 to tie in with a storyline where Peter wanted to join the navy. They had returned to their original ages by 1986. Twins Aadi and Asha Alahan, similar to the examples above, were born in 2006 but celebrated their tenth birthday in 2015 and started secondary school in 2016 when they should have been in their final year of primary school. Although the characters were officially the correct age in accordance to their birth date, David Platt, Simon Barlow and a few other boys' voices started breaking at unusually young ages. In one notable case, two kids went upstairs to wash their hands and reappeared about five years older in the next episode.

Coronation Street / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Coronation Street / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Ivy Tilsley (later Brennan) suffered badly from this. In her earliest appearances (when she only made the occasional appearance as one of the factory girls) her surname was Tyldesley and she said she had a husband called Arthur. As time passed Arthur was briefly renamed Wilf, and then renamed again and became Jack, who actually made two appearances on the show with it being stated the pair were childless despite trying. Several years after her introduction, the producers made the decision to move Ivy onto the street and completely rewrote her backstory. Jack was retconned out of existence and replaced with Bert, and Ivy gained a 20-year old son in the form of Brian. In the early episodes back in 1960 some characters seemingly broke the fourth wall and would look into the camera. When Ena Sharples believed Mr Swindley was trying to get rid of her from the Glad Tidings she went into a rant in the hospital and yelled at the camera. Another example is when a group of kids are singing Christmas Carols in the street they turn to sing at the camera.

Coronation Street / int_545f8c91	type	Abortion Fallout Drama
Coronation Street / int_545f8c91	comment	Abortion Fallout Drama: Abortion comes up plenty of times and it's usually done to escalate drama. Tracy, invoking this, pretends she's pregnant and that she aborted the child in order to get sympathy from her boyfriend who wasn't letting her actual daughter live with them. Her mother is at first horrified that she got an abortion, and later horrified that Tracy would fake such a thing. Katy Harris was pregnant at eighteen (while dating a much older man). Her parents didn't approve of the relationship and told her when they suspected he was having an affair. He wasn't but Katy believed them and got an abortion. She's portrayed as a victim this time, and when she finds out she's Driven to Suicide over it. Natasha gets pregnant partly out of The Baby Trap as she suspects her relationship with Nick is failing. They split up briefly - during which Natasha has an abortion. Nick then reconciles with her and Natasha tries to pretend she's still pregnant for a while. David finds his grandmother's old diary and reads a passage where she tuts about Gail going to have an abortion. Gail is his mother, then he does the math and realises she nearly aborted him. This causes much conflict between them. Gail gets to be on the other end when Tina ends up pregnant with David's baby. Gail rules that both are far too young to have a child, and convinces Tina to abort the baby before David even finds out. Tina is presented as mostly sympathetic thanks to her youth. Sinead was pressured into having an abortion during her first pregnancy with Daniel, and when he found out, he pushed Ken down the stairs, similar to what happened with the above example, except as a Whodunnit.

Coronation Street / int_5679208c	comment	No Bisexuals: Todd Grimshaw, after a loving relationship with a girl, discovers he is also attracted to males. Apparently this means he will only ever be attracted to males in future. What's more is that after the break-up, Todd admitted that he did still love Sarah. When Marcus Dent decided to enter into a heterosexual relationship with Maria, various characters (and fans, at that) expressed their derision and believed he was lying to himself by pretending he was straight. Apparently, it's impossible to be attracted to both men and women and once you become gay you can never be attracted to women again! The only person to even mention the possibility that he might be bisexual is Gail McIntyre and it is never seriously considered beyond an aside comment she made in the Rovers. This was Doubly Subverted, as he slept with Todd Grimshaw in 2013/2014 and this he can only ever be 'gay' again. The first time a bisexual character appeared (dating Michelle), he was revealed to be a former partner of Sean's - and immediately resumed sleeping with him. When Steve witnessed them kissing, he told Michelle that Sonny was 'gay' instead of bi. Almost averted with Rana Habeeb/Nazir, sort of. When discussing her daughter-in-law's affair, Yasmeen concedes that Rana could be bisexual instead of lesbian. Rana has not yet claimed to be bisexual. Finally subverted with solicitor Paula Martin. She described herself as bisexual with a former long marriage to a man before she started a casual relationship with Sophie. Also subverted with Asha, who has had relationships with both men (Corey) and women (Nina). Nina herself, who dated both Asha and Seb.

And got away with it, lying to say said man had made it all up. When he brought it up in a Continuity Nod, Sally just remarked "I never slept with him" and it was dropped. And then there's Rosie who actually knew about the affair, strangely keeping quiet about that. With the same plotline, Molly is the one Kevin cheated with. She was in fact worse than Kevin because he called off the affair when Sally revealed her cancer diagnosis - and Molly couldn't seem to understand why he was staying with her. As her boyfriend Tyrone doesn't find out until after she dies in a freak accident, she receives no comeuppance, and Kevin takes all the blame. Fred discovers his friend Mike is sleeping with Penny King, whom he'd proposed to. When he calls them on it, he doesn't hold that much ill will towards Penny (admittedly with some old school sexism because as a woman, he should expect that from her) and directs all his hate to Mike. Averted with Tracey and Steve in regards to their parenting of their daughter Amy. For a period, he refused to see or even contribute financially to her but is depicted sympathetically because his wife insists on it (albeit due to Tracey's terrible behavior announcing he is the father on their wedding day but that isn't Amy's fault) but when she stops seeing her daughter because her boyfriend wants it, she is depicted as the mother from hell. Although considering that Tracey is clearly a manipulative self-centred sociopath who has selfishly upset and ruined Steve's life more than once, it's not incredibly difficult to sympathise with Steve on this one, to some degree at least. Although Steve and Tracey eventually did get together and the issue was eventually dropped, this was after Tracey took several levels in kindness.

He tells her about an occasion where he had a student who tried to pass off a pile of bricks as his art project, which the tutor didn't buy, and he failed him. He then asks Toyah to explain how her "project" is anything other than a ratty chair covered in rubbish. She improvises a pretentious explanation about how it represents the British working class, which the tutor doesn't buy, until he sees Les for himself, and agrees it is an accurate representation of him, which causes him to not only give her a high grade, but also recommend her project for an exhibit. It's particularly funny because Toyah literally threw the whole thing together at the last minute using the first things that came to hand, because she had neglected her project until only moments before the tutor turned up at her house. invoked

Coronation Street / int_6f5c80fc	comment	Worst Wedding Ever: It wouldn't be Coronation Street without these, now would it?: At Steve and Karen wedding in 2004, Tracy revealed that Steve was the father of her newborn daughter, Amy, which prompted Roy and Hayley, who she had sold her daughter to and who named the little girl Patience, to leave in a hurry with her and for Karen to belt her in the face, leaving her with a black eye. She still had that black eye when it came time for Amy's Christening some days later. Karma would bite the usually invincible Tracy in the ass years later at both of her weddings to Steve. The first one had his ex-wife, Becky, who was unjustly blamed for pushing her down a flight of stairs and causing her to miscarry their twin boys, reveal that she fell down the stairs and had already miscarried the twins long beforehand, prompting a disgusted Steve to annul the marriage. The second had her learning through a misunderstanding from Leanne that Steve was the father of Oliver. Having already given Steve a bloody nose in the aftermath, at the reception Tracy tells Oliver and their guests how rotten his parents are and brings up how every guy Leanne ends up with either leaving, dead or sleeping with her sister, which causes Leanne to flip out and smush the cake in her face and they engage in a catfight. As Steve cries for help breaking them up, Tim just joyfully records the mayhem.

Coronation Street / int_7b8b3def	comment	Celebrity Paradox: Nobody ever watches TV, certainly not at 19:30 every weekday evening. For the same reason, a lot of the magazines in the background (specifically, those that would feature soap stars on the cover) are bland name replacements for the actual publications, even after Product Placement was allowed under UK law; largely because they would either have the characters of Coronation Street on the cover and thus fully invoke this trope, or those of competing soaps which the producers would obviously not want to advertise however subtly on their show. In a 2001 episode, Candice mentions "Kym from Popstars". She's referring to Kym Marsh, who would later go on to play Michelle Connor.

Coronation Street / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: Done rather egregiously with Les Battersby. After his actor was suspended following a scandal, the character was temporarily Put on a Bus, supposedly going on tour as a roadie for a Status Quo tribute band. However, his actor ended up being fired while suspended, so viewers expected a Bus Crash to explain why he wasn't coming back from tour. Instead ... nothing. He was never mentioned again. This meant he vanished from the face of the earth, leaving his wife, adopted son and also an ex-wife (and two daughters who came and went) never speaking of him again or wondering where he went. Finally averted in 2011, five years after he'd vanished, by Les now being mentioned (and things like cards from him or photos of him being around) as normal, when appropriate. Predictably, they are treating it as though they had never stopped mentioning him, and don't explain where he is or why he vanished. Jed Stone was last seen in February 2009 when threatened by Tony Gordon's henchman Jimmy Dockerson, and at the end of the episode Emily Bishop reveals Jed suffered a heart attack and ended up back in hospital. The character is never directly mentioned again, and his fate is left unknown to the viewer. This is despite Jed being a somewhat classic character dating back to 1961.

Coronation Street / int_8cb1a369	comment	Took a Level in Jerkass: Whilst he was still a bit of a rogue in his earlier years, Terry Duckworth was nowhere as bad as his later appearances in the show. Overtime he grew increasingly worse with each visit to the street, such as selling his son Tommy to his other grandparents, selling a dodgy car which led to someone's death, not donating a kidney to his other son, and leaving a now older Tommy to deal with a loan shark that Terry had got in debt with. In his early appearances Jim McDonald was a far more well meaning hardworking family man who loved his wife and two sons. In the mid-1990s he showed a more aggressive side when he assaulted Liz after finding out she had cheated on him with an army buddy twenty years prior when he was away fighting. Despite this he was still an ordinary character, but with his guest returns (especially in later years) he has grown into a far more nastier and antagonistic person, such as tormenting Peter Barlow in prison (where Jim is running a crime racket smuggling in alcohol), then setting up a scam in 2018 in which he made out to Liz that their dead baby daughter Katy was still alive due to a mix up at the hospital, although in reality the grown up "Katy" as actually his lover Hannah. All this was to get revenge on his family for "abandoning" him when he was in prison, and he was rightfully sent packing when exposed.

Taken up to eleven with the Fiftieth Anniversary special, with a freak tram accident demolishing one end of the street and killing/seriously wounding a number of residents - an echo of a freight rain derailment from the line's railway days in 1967, which trapped longtime character Ena Sharples and killed several unseen characters. Saying that, compared to Walford, Weatherfield is the happiest place on Earth. Also of note is that a study showed that living on Coronation Street is actually safer than living in real-life Salford.

Having already given Steve a bloody nose in the aftermath, at the reception Tracy tells Oliver and their guests how rotten his parents are and brings up how every guy Leanne ends up with either leaving, dead or sleeping with her sister, which causes Leanne to flip out and smush the cake in her face and they engage in a catfight.

Coronation Street / int_acf33d00	comment	Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: After fatally beating Charlotte Hoyle to death shortly before the tram crash, John Stape later decided to place her body near the crash site, hoping to make it look as if she had been struck and killed by debris during the crash. A policewoman found him, and he claimed to have dragged her out of the debris — whereupon the policewoman examined her body and found that she wasn't actually dead. In a subversion of the trope, it turned out she had massive brain damage and would only have lived on in a vegetative state, resulting in her family deciding to pull the plug on her.

Coronation Street / int_ad17a1ac	type	Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse
Coronation Street / int_ad17a1ac	comment	Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: A recurring theme in the show is that nobody in the show has an excuse for their actions and if a character tries to deliver vigilante justice, then they'll be liable to prosecution if the authorities catch up to them. When Bethany Platt assaulted a customer who was forced to receive a lapdance from her, Sarah angrily tried to blame the customer and mentioned Bethany's history of being sexually assaulted. While the police officer does give his condolences, he points out that it doesn't excuse anything and presses charges. Stating "A background of abuse does not give someone license to abuse others. This was a very serious assault". This was deconstructed with Aiden Connor, who was driven to suicide when Eva went too far in taking revenge against him for having an affair. She was wracked with guilt and tried to make peace with Aiden's family but to no avail, forcing her to fight for custody over the baby.

Coronation Street / int_affd30b0	comment	Stupid Evil: At least post-prison, Tracy Barlow is almost incapable of carrying on a conversation without insulting the person she is talking to, even if she is hoping to manipulate them. Every racist villain in the show is incredibly uninhibited with their remarks towards black people and will make these comments in public view, regardless of the consequences. Don makes a racist joke during a party, he says it so loud that all the partygoers can hear him over the music. Unsurprisingly, Don gets fired after Ed makes a passionate speech in response to the joke. A pair of racist clients immediately make derogatory comments about Alya as soon as Aiden turns his back. Subverted with Paul Kershaw, who said "Play the white" without noticing Lloyd and Jenna had just entered the pub. He didn't think the phrase was racist and thought that if he apologised then it would be taken admission of guilt and a confirmation that he was racist. In reality, the phrase is considered racist because it portrays white people as having moral superiority.

Mike justifies this by pointing out that they are, after all, playing the no-limit rule. However, the no-limit rule only means that there is no upper-limit on what a player can wager from their chip stack during a round of betting. It does not allow participants to bet assets that are outside of play. Given that the consequences of Fred losing the hand was stretched out over multiple episodes with no-one pointing this out, most likely this was a case of Artistic License.

Coronation Street / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: Surprisingly rare, but Mike Baldwin's nephew Danny (and his family) being introduced was certainly one, as Mike had previously been stated to be an only child. Ivy Tilsley's an interesting case. Introduced as a secondary factory girl with the identically pronounced surname Tyldesley, she variously referred to her husband as Wilf, or Alfred, or Jack, and claimed to have been unable to bear a child. Then, Jack was brought briefly in as a character. A few years later, her friend Vera's husband also named Jack was introduced, initially off-screen, and Ivy, now given a twenty-year-old son named Brian, was blessed with a new husband - Bert, whom she was allegedly married to for twenty-odd years. The showrunner, Bill Podmore joked that Ivy was a bigamist. Though considering the character, she may have been such a tart in her youth. It was made clear that Susan Barlow had an abortion in 1987 because she wasn't ready to have children. She left the show a few weeks later but in 2001 it was revealed she had never actually aborted and now had a son called Adam. Worth noting that her father visited her numerous times over the years but never seemed to meet or even hear of his grandson. Canon Discontinuity seems to be in effect in regards to the storyline relating to Michelle Connor discovering her son was switched at birth. After the storyline ended in 2008, it has never been mentioned again! In fact, during the 2012 storyline when Tracy Barlow dated Ryan Connor, simply to spite Steve McDonald for rekindling his relationship with Michelle, he was explicitly referred to as her only son. Likewise, when Tracy revealed that she was pregnant with his child and that Steve tried to pay her off to have an abortion, she claimed Michelle wouldn't have done it when she was pregnant with Ryan ... with everyone seemingly forgetting that he is not actually her biological son! Eventually averted when Michelle's biological son arrived on the street for a 2018 storyline. Apparently, David Platt tried to 'kill' his brother Nick — yes, he did try to grab the wheel off him to stop him going home to reveal everything to Kylie and Leanne but the accident itself was caused by a truck driver who didn't stop in time and ploughed into the stopped car in the middle of the road. Everyone was acting as if David purposely caused that truck to appear or something! The fact that David himself is not denying his alleged murder attempt is not doing him any favors either.

She once rang Social Services after Bethany got an electric shock in Sarah and Todd's apartment — and when the social worker decided that the environment was still pretty stable for Bethany, Gail lied to say Sarah and Todd frequently left her alone in the apartment. Around the same time this was happening, a potential employer of Nick's rang the house about a job in Canada — and Gail also lied to say Nick didn't want the job, to stop him from moving. In some instances, the children have gotten away with crimes because Gail couldn't bear to have any of her kids away from her. For example, when David went to confess an attempted murder on his brother, Gail was adamant that the rest of the family tried to stop him.

From the audience standpoint, Aadi is completely justified in his anger but since Aadi only opened up to Dev and Summer; Asha doesn't understand the problem since Aadi insulted for other things, Dev's angry because Aadi keyed his car then blamed Kelly (which could have sent her back to prison), and Summer tries to tell him that Dev saved Asha first because she was unconscious, however, Aadi is too angry to accept it and blames the double standard.

Suspecting he is cheating, Eileen and her dozy friend Julie embarrass themselves — and him — by breaking into the station. Angry and disgruntled, Paul produces a large ornate engagement ring and says this is the reason he was out with his colleague. Her family own a jewellers' store and she was helping him choose a ring. She's the right person to find the best and most beautiful ring, and she also gets a discount on it for him, so it is larger and better than what he might have been able to afford in normal circumstances. Eileen is sick twice over on seeing the ring. One, because it is big and ornate, and visibly so; two, because her insane and irrational jealousy has made him contemplate breaking the whole thing off and taking it back to the shop for a refund.

Coronation Street / int_ba440e1	comment	The Un-Favorite: Sophie Webster. David and Sarah Louise Platt, in comparison to Nick, their elder brother adored by Gail. Sarah and David would both argue that they are this to the family in general. The 2013 storyline for David Platt played this horrifyingly straight. Nick slept with David's wife Kylie only for her to discover she was pregnant a short time later. The rest of the family outright plotted to keep this a secret from David and never did anything more than give Nick a cross word. All this, only for the entire family to ostracise David after they learn he found out about the cheating and was behind the recent hate campaign against Nick. Nick's wife Leanne instantly forgave Nick for cheating on her, whilst the entire family treated David as some horrible monster for nearly killing Nick in a traffic accident — conveniently ignoring the fact David was in the van with Nick at the time and it truly was an accident. Peter Barlow frequently claims to be this. In 2021, Asha, Aadi, and Dev are in a car crash and Asha falls unconscious from the crash while Aadi is trapped because his seatbelt won't open. In a heartbeat, Dev saves the unconscious Asha and doesn't even try to help Aadi or even speak to him as Aadi struggles to get out. After getting Asha to a safe distance, the car explodes and both Dev and Asha assume the worst. Not only does Aadi survive this but he fully remembers how his own dad abandoned him in favour of his sister, leading a heartbroken Aadi to assume that Asha was always Dev's favourite.

Resident Big Bad (and close friend of Steve MacDonald) Jez Quigley has Steve beaten up, gets himself assaulted by Steve's Dad Jim, then dies of a punctured lung as a hospital patient whilst trying to smother his still also hospitalized rival. Possibly the most embarrassing death was Lesley Kershaw's, the Alzheimer's-affected wife of fireman Paul. While trying to fix herself toast for breakfast, she accidentally electrocutes herself on the old toaster. Made worse is how he had specifically not intended to leave her alone, in fear of something like that happening in the first place.

Coronation Street / int_bec0417c	comment	Happily Married: Although the series usually tends to avert this, there have been a few couple that were straight examples: Stan and Hilda Ogden, in spite of their money woes, strained ties with their children as they became adults (namely due to their "simple" lifestyles) and affairs, were quite happy together for over 40 years at the time of his 1984 death. Jack and Vera Duckworth. They fought plenty of times (usually over trivial things) and had to deal with their ne'er-do-well son Terry and his criminal misdeeds, but remained in love until her death (and so much that she guided his spirit into the afterlife two-and-a-half years later). Gary and Judy Mallet. They didn't last as long on the show as the others (appearing only from 1995-1999), but were one of the younger couples that never had any major rows and even welcomed twins (a boy and a girl) on their last Christmas together in 1998 before her passing the following year. Roy and Hayley Cropper. In spite of their unconventional backgrounds (he being a lonely shopkeeper who never dated and she being born Harold), their relationship was considered one of the strongest on the Street in more modern times, marrying twice—first in 1999 and again in 2010, as the previous one was not legally recognized at the time—before her 2013 demise.

Coronation Street / int_c0e3994b	comment	Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Very strongly averted with Kirsty Soames's treatment of Tyrone Dobbs. She violently attacked and scarred him — hitting him, forcing him against walls, slamming his fingers in doorways; cut him off from friends, destroyed his sentimental possessions such as photographs, and he stayed with her mostly because he was afraid she would take their daughter Ruby away if he reported her. None of this was played for laughs and Kirsty was portrayed as being a very dangerously violent and unhinged person to the viewer because of it, though most of the other characters had no idea. It managed to subvert this as uber-bitch Tracy was constantly manipulating Steve to get money out of him for their daughter and sometimes just for the hell of it.

Tara found out Dev had cheated on her when they had broken up briefly and plotted to get revenge. She ended up plastering a nude photo of Dev on a billboard in the street with "Liar" written in an obvious place (in addition to rejecting his proposal in public). While Tara wasn't portrayed as being in the right (Dev's daughter Amber chewed her out for it), the whole thing had a slight comedic tone to it which wouldn't have been the case if Dev had put up a picture of Tara.

Whilst there was one token Jewish character for a short while (Manchester has Britain's second-largest Jewish community). A few attempts were made. Lucille Soong played Billy Walker's Chinese girlfriend who was spurned by his racist mother, Annie. Ben Kingsley played a possibly intended-as-white character, there were a few black regular extras, and Angela Bruce played Ray Langton's mistress. Not much was done to remedy this until well into The '90s. When the producers remedied this by having the Desai family take over the corner shop. However they mostly failed to click with audiences or the rest of the cast and were soon replaced with their cousin Dev Alahan who has been with the show ever since. Later joined by the Nazirs, who run the community centre or work at the factory, bistro, or medical centre.

Instead he swerved out of the way of someone in the street and rolled it, pinning two people underneath and inflicting serious burns on Anna Windass. September 2017 saw Eva Price and Adam Barlow team up on one. After finding out Aidan Connor had been unfaithful with Maria, Eva both pretended to be pregnant and went into bridezilla mode, demanding a lavish wedding (organized by a reluctant Maria) with the intent of squeezing Aidan dry. Adam, ostensibly to support Maria but really as part of a revenge plan for not getting a share of the factory that he believed himself entitled to, arranged for the factory to be emptied of machinery, stock, and furniture while the street was at the wedding - going so far as to take the roof.

Coronation Street / int_d52d28b6	type	Hypocrite
Coronation Street / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: Sally Webster, because of her insistence that Fiz was involved with John Stape's crimes. Her justification was that Fiz must have known what her husband was doing, because the idea of her not realising was preposterous. Cue practically every other character responding with "You didn't realise what Kevin was doing." When the affair is exposed, she's furious at Kevin ... despite having an affair years ago with Ian Davenport that she never got caught for. After Peter Barlow publicly humiliated Leanne at their wedding for her affair with Nick Tilsley and Carla Connor for her attraction to the engaged Peter, who would he soon cheat on Leanne with and marry after their divorce? Brian Packham, giving David and Kylie Platt stick over what they give Max for his school dinners, whilst stuffing down a bag of chips and being in no physical shape to criticise anyone's eating habits. He even goes so far as to say that all teachers at the school are going to be checking what students bring to eat from home. Lampshaded by David and Kylie. David, who falls in love with the mother of the thug that killed his wife, snaps that "the apple doesn't rot far from the tree". The woman immediately points out the hypocrisy by listing all his crimes that she's heard about. Tracy Barlow, who has killed a lover in absolute cold blood, and manipulated everyone so that she appeared the victim, acted like Daniel's attempted murder of Ken, when the former was unstable due to being abandoned by both his parents, AND the latter had caused the termination of the former's baby was unforgivable. She later has used this behaviour towards Bethany Platt as well. Maria, who had an affair with Aidan while he was engaged to Eva, comes across this way towards Alina with her affair with Tyrone. Gary Windass, who has killed multiple few people, acts like he has any right to look down on Max's behaviour after the latter was groomed by a racist organisation. Daisy Midgeley chastising Daniel Osborn and a returning Bethany Platt for hooking up so soon after the end of her engagement with Daniel; as lampshaded by Daniel, Daisy has no room to comment considering she had recently had an affair with Ryan Connor and that was the reason for their break-up.

While fighting on the rooftop of Underworld in the rain and knocking down all the elaborate Christmas decorations during it, factory owner Danny Baldwin appeared amidst the fight and his first and only concern was over who would pay for the damages done to the factory (which ended up being Steve) and then leaving as quickly as he came.

Coronation Street / int_ddeaea82	comment	Miscarriage of Justice: More frequently than actual justice being played straight, it seems. Subverted with Tracy's murder trial in 2007. While she had intricately planned and set up the murder of Charlie Stubbs — making it seem like he was physically abusive to her and convincing her family and friends of this — and probably fully expected to be found innocent, the jury at her trial were not fooled and found her guilty. She played this straight in 2010, taking full advantage of that the forensic evidence expert that had handled her case falsified his qualifications, which sees her retried and released. Averted with Gail's trial for the murder of her husband, Joe in 2010. She is found not guilty (Joe had drowned to death on his boat in a lake in the Lake District. Tyrone was on trial for physically abusing Kirsty and probably would have been found guilty had Kirsty herself not burst into his trial and admitted to everyone there that she was the one abusing him. Peter Barlow, who was sentenced to life in prison for murdering Tina and who only got out once real killer Rob was caught. Most recently Anna Windass, framed by Pat Phelan for assaulting Seb by pushing his ladder over. (Really he just fell.)

Sophie's boyfriend, Robert Maltby, survived his injuries after being in a 3-day coma with internal bleeding but suffered memory loss after the attack. In the series, Nina (a goth woman) is the one who survives the attack with internal bleeding and memory loss, while her boyfriend, Seb Franklin, was the one who died from the assault. In real life, the boys were arrested and found guilty. In the show, Corey and his gang escaped justice by using Kelly Neelan as a scapegoat, who had no real-life equivalent in the story.
