‘Coronation Street’: Phelan’s Hospital Room Detail Distracts Viewers

It's not big or clever, but this will make you chuckle.

There was plenty going on in Monday (19 December) night’s ‘Coronation Street’, but many viewers still managed to find themselves distracted, during a scene featuring Pat Phelan.

Andy Carver was paying the villainous Phelan a visit in hospital, and while their conversation was interesting enough, one set detail was picked up on by many fans.

Hmmm...

Yes. We mean the many plug sockets behind him. Why? Just, why?

Admittedly, it’s not exactly a thrilling observation, but it was a distracting one nonetheless:

@itvcorrie How many plugs does Phelan have behind his head??? Lol

#Corrie How many plug sockets are needed in one hospital room? @itvcorrie

Pat Phelen's obviously not too badly injured. He only has one device plugged in to the 16 sockets behind his hospital bed #corrie

I do hope Phelan can find a plug socket for his phone charger 😂 #itsbehindyou #Corrie

Weirdly, this isn’t the first time a Weatherfield resident has been surrounded by sockets during a hospital visit:

When I was in hospital I had to unplug my chemo IV to charge my phone and here's bloody Leanne, plugs galore! #Corrie pic.twitter.com/mPNBzygRH1

Bizarre.

While the crews who work out our favourite soaps do their best to get things right, mistakes inevitably slip through the net and ‘EastEnders’ viewers recently spotted a Snapchat whoopsie during a scene featuring Louise Mitchell.
