Coronation Street viewers spot blunder with Harvey Gaskell storyline suggesting Adam Barlow could ‘use it to his advantage’

Coronation Street viewers have spotted a major blunder with the Harvey Gaskell and Adam Barlow storyline.

Last night's episode (6 March) left ITV fans 'screaming at the TV' after pointing out a glaring prison error which Adam could have used to his 'advantage'.

Viewers tuned in to watch Harvey warn his brother, Damon, that things were looking pretty sticky for him now that the truth has come out about Adam's involvement in the escape plan.

Harvey was left raging after finding out he hadn't managed to bring Adam down

after he organised for one of his friends to hit him with their car in order to teach him a lesson.

However, when Damon made a call to Harvey while behind bars, he explained he was in need of some funds now that his appeal wasn't going to go through and warned of the imminent trouble that was waiting for him ahead if he didn't do so.

But, even with all that hullaballoo going on, the thing that grabbed fans' attention most about the episode was Harvey's constant calls from prison.

Viewers of the beloved soap have since rushed to social media to share their reactions to the episode.

One X user penned: "You'd have thought prisons would be more onto inmates having phones. Or maybe it is that easy."

A second asked: "So how does Harvey charge that phone he shouldn't have in klink???"

"Why doesn't Damon just report Harvey for having a phone and harassing him," wondered a third, while a fourth chimed in: "Why doesn't Adam rat on Harvey and tell prison he has a phone."

A fifth piped up: "That phone must be stuck to Harvey's hand!"

And, a final X user echoed: "Why has no one in that prison found that phone yet.

"Can’t they hear him talking all the time?"

Actor Will Mellor, who plays Harvey, previously opened up about reprising his 'challenging' role as the villain.

He shared: "Firstly, I'm glad to be back because I really enjoy playing this character. It's something that straight away when they asked me to play this part, I knew what I wanted to do with it.

"I wanted to play him very real, a proper baddie, I thought if I'm ever going to be in Coronation Street I’m glad I’m playing a baddie because it's a part I don't get to play a lot. I enjoy playing him even though he's a baddie."
