. Never thought i get to see the Jo/Vargas story. Really strong performances given by JG and MS. Pretty good episode. The weakest stuff is Danny and Angela. So great to be able to see more of Warren, Kristen and Martin. That Suzy was awful.
But some have spotted a glaring gaffe during the latest heartbreaking scenes.
ITV viewers have been tuning in to find down-on-his-luck Sean sleeping rough.
It comes after the character, played by Antony Cotton, was kicked out of his home.
Sean has been falling into financial problems.
The pint puller has been living on the streets for weeks.
Homelessness In Birmingham
The heavy-hitting plot has been praised for raising awareness - but there are a few concerning issues being raised.
Despite sleeping in a tent on the Red Rec, Sean manages to make himself look immaculate when he heads back to the cobbles.
Just months ago Sean was going for a haircut once a week at Audrey's pricey salon to keep his barnet in check.
Part of the reason behind his financial ruin may be that he was paying a staggering £12.50 every week for a trim.
He couldn’t even afford to pay £5 to get his tent back - but it seems he's somehow managing to keep that fresh fade.
Another issue is that Sean doesn't seem to smell as no one has pointed out he stinks. Safe to say this storyline is not getting a positive reception on twitter. people have pointed out sean's haircut and neatly ironed shirt making a mockery of his homelessness.

This seems highly unlikely considering he hasn't had a wash for weeks and is only cleaning with wet wipes.
Speaking of which, some viewers have questioned how he can even afford to buy wipes.
He did run into a problem tonight as his shirt was wet, but it looked remarkably uncreased considering he doesn't have access to an iron.
One viewer said: "Sean is living in a tent on the Red Rec, yet has perfectly ironed clothes, hair isn’t out of place, and he’s got clear clean skin…
Another asked: "Sean may be homeless but he's had a haircut. I wonder if he smells?" A third said: "He should be scruffy looking and unshaven we should be shown how he manages to keep himself and clothes clean and why doesn't he STINK". Bollocks. He's not being paying rent and had 3 jobs at one point (totalling something like an 80-100 hour week if you added them all up). If you can't put money away on that bed of roses then you need to look in the mirror, somehow he still managed to find time to go out drinking on it.
