It comes after the character, played by Antony Cotton, was kicked out of his home

 

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO HELP THE HOMELESS

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.

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.

Trying to get his tent back from Carol, Sean Tully [ANTONY COTTON] is affronted when she gives him a list of hostels and waves his cash in her face. He is then robbed by two men in the toilets. 

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.

Confused Coronation Street viewers took to Twitter to comment on Sean's appearance. 

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.

Iain MacLeod shouldn't be allowed to produce a local panto let alone a top-rated drama. The way he ruined EMMERDALE... I remember EMMERDALE fans warning CORRIE fans that he was a disaster. He's the UK equivalent of Jill Farren Phelps.

    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
